Haha. Been there. Had my '07 go down for a transmission and was borrowing a dodge ram work truck while it was getting rebuilt. Race car pics are appreciated as well.

here is a pic of the race car. mitsubishi evo we raced at pikes peak this year. build it in the shop at my house with a couple buddies.

Nice! So it's built for autocross?

meathooker

not autocross - hill climbs and track. we run a gtx3582 gen2 turbo to compensate for the elevations at pikes but its a bit laggy. we dont get boost until 5200ish. not the best for autocross. we are going to tune for a 3076gen 2 this winter and hopefully spool around 4k - then it might be fun to autox. another down fall is classing - we would be in XP which has a horrible PAX.

Ah gotcha. Yeah, that seems like a really high RPM to start getting boost. Either way, I'm sure it's a fun little car to go ripping through tracks with.

getting closer ...

drove it around. still needs alignment and an oil change. might do both tomorrow if work allows.

Nice rebuild! I'd love to do the same for a cheap(ish) project truck.

whoa, 5200rpm boost?

The 3076 should spool a lot faster.

Have you tried precision turbos? Had excellent luck with a bb 5862 on a 2.3L 4cyl. Spool was great, but the flow was fantastic.

Awesome race car, nice work!

Wedsport wheels....yes plz. Had a set on my 350z. Underrated wheels IMO

got it aligned and the sport wheels put on.
