In the never-ending quest for more
HP, I decided to build up a new motor
that could take full advantage of the EFI. After battling with blown
head gaskets and stretched head bolts, I decided to to use ARP head studs, and a 20vt headgasket. I also upgraded the turbo to a K26/T04E hybrid unit. The oil and coolant lines had to be custom made using AN fittings.
The head has been rebuilt with 40mm intake valves, and mildly
polished and ported. I had to take an unusual path to the air filter
using a 3" Turbonetics close radius 90, and a custom intake pipe. All coolant hoses except for the two main
hoses are Flexfab silicon hose.
