This guys did an outstanding job. That is the nicest conversion I've seen to date.

Turbos are in. Dyno tune later today. Recall, not going for the crazy 1000 hp setup, just a very streetable, no lag system with 600+ rwhp.

Was hoping you were going to say Grand National, then I could tell you...

Update video on the build thread above. 530 rwhp, 520 rwtq. Only 6 psi, small turbos, tuned for better than stock manners, 91 octane and crazy desert heat.

Been driving it more and more and the weather cools and the t-tops are off. Responses out on the roads have been crazy -- mostly, "What is that?," and "Are they bringing it back?"

Twin turbo is terrific. All the power I want is there, but better than stock drivability otherwise (from Nic D's tune).

Only issue is the oil scavenge pump is a little loud for my taste, so I ordered a Turbowerx Exa and we'll see how that one does next week.

Cordes Performance has put some bite beneath the bandit.

Sick Build bro!

Selling the TA and planning a new one based on the new platform. Details upcoming.

I wish we could buy,a TA still. Sucks you gotta sell it but be fun building another

How is this not a COTW?

Before you sell it, you really should submit it!

Is it against the rules to post the sale link here in my build thread?

hammdo · 06-03-2016, 12:44 PM

I don't think so, but you really should submit your car for COTW. Just an awesome car..
