Fast Intentions Stage 2 TT build by MA-Motorsports.

Rusty

For me. If I was 50. No problem in going in with both feet. Now at 62. I'm trying to balance things out. It's hard to put into words my thinking. I'm looking at the end game. How many good years I have left. It's money vs years vs enjoyment. My dad went to 69. He was in bad health at 59. My mom went to 88. But she was in bad health around 72. My sister died at 64. My brother is still going strong at 73. Do I want to pull out $30,000 from my retirement plan to fund my ego.

Now, if I hit the lotto. Everything written above goes out the window.

You will need more than 30k.

Rusty

With the way I would want to do it. Think about double that amount.

You may be able to do it for less. What I always look for is the point where
the cost and reliability can get out of control. So, I found that point to be right at 800 whp. I set my goal at that level or a little less. Trying to get more whp than that is when it starts to get real expensive and you can have reliability issues. Some folks have push the whp level up past that but not many. I call it the uncharted territory.
I will be pushing my build to around 18-20psi of boost. If you go any higher, that is when you will need an intake manifold. The next question is what will it take to keep the head gaskets sealed up and at what point this needs to be addressed. It is right at the 800whp level is what you hear. You also hear all the fear tactics of needing a closed deck block, etc. The problem I have is the folks that are fear mongering it can't be trusted. Just look at their previous adventures. They are the only ones making the closed deck blocks also. If I had another choice or more data on it, I would consider it.
So, if you keep it under 800hp you will be a little less than what you think. If you want to chase the 1000hp number, it will cost you. The bad part is you may have to do it several times until you figure out how to keep the engine together. You will be your own R and D department.

LOL, more than us. Folks are starting to push it. These 2 builds that have popped up in my thread will be very interesting.
Glad to have them on here.

john26jm

I’m glad there is more people taking the leap of faith you could say with these cars lol and people who understand the struggle

Has your car been finished?

Spooler

I heard what your goal is. That is awesome. I hope you hit the mark or a little over.

I hear you! I just started my twin turbo build. Bought the AAM Competition kit and can't wait to get this thing done. Rebuilding my engine too

URBiN~HURMiT

A few pointers with the AAM kit
The location of the turbos aren't conducive for efficient oil drain = turbo smoke
If you have the EFR 71/63's you definitely need the larger I/C and may want to go with external waste gates because they 'modify' the IWG actuator linkage by bending it for clearance.
I've been advised by MA-Motorsports that this can be potentially dangerous.

Good Luck with your build !!!
