I have been working on the fender for a while, trying to get it perfect.

I then installed the new map sensor, and decided to go for a drive.

The car came alive! it was night an day difference... I heard the wastegate for the first time.
And even though the boost leak test was good to 30 psi, I kept blowing off the couplers at the turbo outlet, and the throttle body, twice at each location, so I never was able to get a good log.

So I ended up beading the couplers with jb weld

and installed some tow straps. these bolt to the frame rails, with the setup that came with the crash bar. This allows me to tow the car without removing the front bumper, and because I have a little ocd, I had to have 2 on the front.

And this is how she sat after the first time she hit 23 or 24 psi.

This Saturday I ended up putting everything back on the car, and just taking it for a spin. After I finally was able to "fix" the boosting issue I was pumped to just enjoy the car. Decided to wash the car fully again, and on the drive there, the car wouldn't go past 10 psi again! WTF... I was so mad... So after washing and drying it, I was cleaning the bay and ended up going over everything that I did compared to the week before, and it hit me. Last time I didn't have the air filter on the turbo. I was like screw it, I took it off, had 2 other people meet me and hop in the car with me and as I left the car wash, I floored it and hit 23 psi no problem. I FINALLY FOUND MY ISSUE! It was the dang air filter. The map sensor was bad as it was reading 50 psi with the car off, but the filter was the fricken main issue for the past year I guess... I never would have thought about that. So now that the car is running great, I will just continue to fit the new rims and tires that I got, because at the current boost I am spinning up to 4th... So I need some grip. Until next time

Turbo and engine wise, what all have you done to the motor?

Nothing :).... It will take a while to type out, I'm at work so I'll explain later tonight.

Alright take your time [emoji23]

The turbo is a 6466 v band.
The motor had been bored, custom pistons, longer rods., therefore making it a 2.4 Long Rod which I can rev to 8k or 8.5k can't remember for sure.
The head has been ported and polished with +1 mm oversized valves coupled with gsc s3 cams running on e85.
It has 2 320 lph fuel pumps, -10 AN fuel feed and -8 return, and AN fittings pretty much for everything else.
It has been awd swapped to hold down the power.
24 psi is wastegate pressure, and as soon as I get the go ahead I'll install the mbc into the lines and crank it up to 30 or 35 psi, depending on how much power I can safely make.
4 Injector Dynamics 2000 CC injectors.
brembos all around.
wiring tuck in the bay
27x12x4 intercooler core size.

Any questions? Lol

What about like injectors and stuff?

I added more info up top, but you need to be specific. I have a lot going on with the car and sometimes its hard for me to remember what is what. And as I type this out I remembered more.
Evo 8 ECU speed density conversion.
Twin disk clutch, can't remember the brand lol
Wavetrac lsd in the Transfer case
Evo 9 tranny
Aftermarket COP set up with AEM Twin Fire ignition box

Also here is a quick video

I would too if my car looked as good as yours!! I cannot wait to see what the fenders look like completed! Are you going to put mesh or something in the gap between the fender and the body? Or would that get in the way of the door when you open and close it?

Quick question, the "chrome" trim on the lower part of the doors, on you'r first picture on first page, is they standard in USA?
Have never seen them here in EU..
Hard to get hand of in nice condition?

are you taking about below the window?
that is stock yes

That intercooler is gigantic!

Dave, the main reason it's this big is space. I had to fill up the huge opening in the bumper and the distance to the rad support. Had to go four inches thick. Everybody likes thick intercooler haha

OK so the long awaited rear wide body kit from Varis has arrived finally!
http://i739.photobucket.com/albums/x...ps33udhmbb.jpg

http://i739.photobucket.com/albums/x...psdqnvmdty.jpg

So I finally removed the rear fender flare to get a real idea of the amount of space I need to clear.
http://i739.photobucket.com/albums/x...psr6y6tyvw.jpg

As you can see below there are some major differences in body shape even though the evo 6 has the same rear Door panel. I have to cut some of the rear flare down, and I have to make a fill in patch about 3 inches wide from the door piece to the rear panel piece.
I have everything mark for locations but before I start drilling holes and cutting I need to come up with a way to fasten it to the stock body without showing and able to remove easy if needed.

I am also thinking about using the rubber trim peice from the jdm flares to make a nice smooth transition from the Widebody to the stock panel, but I would like to see what others have used instead of oem.

This is a general layout of the idea in my head. Right now I might be redoing the front fender because idk if it flows right with the rear portion.

That's it for now :)

This is incredible. Great idea man! Can't wait to see the progress

Holy sh!t, that's really impressive!!

Soooo sick. Cant wait to see it done.

Looks good, any whole side shots? I see you said the front doesn't flow with the rear, but it seems to match well to me. Also the front goes well with the skirts too.

So freaking cool!! If I could do anything with my G, I would do a nice turbo set up like yours and a wide body as well. I love how it sets the car apart from the rest.

^^^As if its not already set apart from the rest Lol!

Continuous game changer. I love this car and the detail and ingenuity that goes into it

Thanks for all the kind words everybody! I guess I strive way to hard to be different and sometimes it does suck. But I figured out some things tonight and I have to see if I can work my super vr4 extensions into the rear now, or come up with something different. And before I go any further I have to get a set of clecos and then I can start the painful process of cutting :(

One question, where can I find some fender flare gaskets in silver that I can get in the USA and at random lengths?

Hopefully this is what your looking for and the color suits your needs..seems silver is not as common as black

Seems like the replacements for trans ams come in gray/silver if you want to do some more looking

Its been a busy day tonight! Here is some updates via pictures.

Made a bracket to mount the bottom portion
http://i739.photobucket.com/albums/x...psu8pf4js2.jpg

Here is the left side all clecko'd in.
http://i739.photobucket.com/albums/x...psvlhud3m6.jpg

Here is the foam block that I sanded to fill the void since the 1/4 panel is longer. I am making a mold of it.
http://i739.photobucket.com/albums/x...pss0axv2iz.jpg

Here is the ass end view haha
http://i739.photobucket.com/albums/x...psbkznlzqp.jpg

and this right here is the issue why I started on the left side... Gonna have to move that and stretch it...
http://i739.photobucket.com/albums/x...psvypqvyzj.jpg

All I need to do is finish the right door flare, but its late and dark and I'm hungry...
http://i739.photobucket.com/albums/x...psarlewddj.jpg

The only issue is the fender I did in the front doesn't match the rear body at all... So I'm thinking on what to do...
http://i739.photobucket.com/albums/x...psgd8n47ce.jpg

Also since the body is so wide I have some SVR4 extensions and New Style extensions and the new style bumper up for grabs. Let me know if you're interested.

Yes!! An update!!! Looks like a pain in the ass to move the area for the gas cap..

This whole project looks like a pain but will be well worth it. Wont be no other around.. Cant wait..

It's gonna be hard to hide my erection at work... thanks! Beautiful work as usual! Can't wait to see it finished.

What's the end goal here?

Who knows. Idk honestly. I finish one thing thinking I'll be done and then start another. I guess I prefer to work on the car rather then drive it? Idk hard to explain. I don't think I understand the question haha

A one off wide body... thought that was kinda obvious.

^ I don't think that's what he was asking. I'm going to autox it and drag it a couple times eventually. Just a mean street cruiser with power to eat up some domestics honestly. Specifically corvettes around here and bikes
