sandawg Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 (edited) :ahhhhh: Anyone doing any summer upgrades to their cars? Before next season I'd like to put in a headset/ intercom system in my car. That and I think it's time to swap out those over-the-bolt CV boots. I like to be able to check my bolts from time to time. Other than that, she's ready to go. I know bpguy & andydew are doing some paint upgrades. How about everyone else? Got anything on the wish list for next season? The old man is doing a couple of changes and up grades for the future. I'm having AJ Simms in Orange County do a Turbo for the "Sand Flea" The compression will be 8.4 and I will run 8-10 #'s of boost. I added a sump to increase my oil copacity by another QT. That makes it 4 1/2 now with the cooler and filter set up. I got rid of the new Weber 40's and will run a Holley 350 set up for off road. Decided today and go ahead with some 1.25 ratio rockers that are suppose to add another 10 H.P. Had to build a skid plate to protect the sump. Thanks to my friend and neighbor for the aluminum left over from his build! Having the Turbo Black Ceramic coated and since it's a mid engine set up it will hardy be noticable. It won't hang out the rear as most do. I like it!!! Also had to add a fan to the oil cooler for extra cooling and a benefit of that will be it blows on the Turbo and should help to keep it cooler too. I had the origional fuel tank that was pretty big and had changes it out for a smaller one. I went back to the larger tank so I now hold a lilttle over 9 gallons instead to the 7 for the smaller tank. I figure to use more gas........which means more money too. I have to run race gas now since under boost I am 13-1 compression. Also mounted the boost guage already. The rest of my time has been nut and bolting everything, moving some wires and lines around and generally getting it real sanitary. End results should be an increase of 40-50% in HP above the 80+ on the 2160 VW the way it was. I did have to add about 25#'s to the car making it colser to 875# total weight without my fat arse in it. I'm now ready for Coral Pinks altitude, Choke Cherry at St Anthonys and Banche Hill at the Oregon Dunes. Talked to AJ today and should have my stuff this next week. About and hour or two and it's time to start it up and be ready to go!!! Edited September 19, 2010 by SANDAWG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd just have to lie to the wifey, since she's been dying, stuck at home all summer. She probably wants a good dune run as bad as I do. I oughtta run up for the next meet and greet I suppose.
