Bill From Whitby

[BeeGee]

Okay, seems I added my "newbie" stuff to someone else's thread. Sorry. Here goes. From Whitby, Ont, Canada, a few miles east of Toronto. Picked up my car today from Magnus Motorsports after getting some significant mods. Holy crap, this car is now F-A-S-T! They gave me a low boost tune (if 22.6 psi can be called low!). Waiting on a boost controller and then he will retune to 330 WHP!

Anyway, here's the list:
Eiback Pro Kit lowering springs
Cobb BPV
Force Performance "Green" twin scroll turbo
Evo X Exhaust manifold
Cold air intake (Magnus fabricated using AEM filter)
3-inch downpipe & midpipe w/high flow cat (Magnus fabricated)
IC w/2.75-inch pipes (Magnus fabricated)
dyno'd 298/305 WHP/WTQ

If any TO folk are interested in Magnus' work, they are on Keele St in Concord, a couple miles north of hwy 7.

Next on the mod list (after the boost controller) are the Whiteline front & rear adjustable anti-roll bars and either PVR Motorsports CF RA lip or the splitter for RA's found at Lancershop.com

Oops, forgot to mention that Magnus is also working on fabricating a BBK that will work with the stock wheels. These will be done at the same time as the boost controller in a couple of weeks.

those are some great numbers. i live right by magnus and have heard of them multiple times but ive never been by to see the shop. how much was the exhaust mani and turbo? and do you know if they do cobb tunning there?

also post pics of your ride! love to see it.

[BravoZero]

Awesome dude! I read the article about Magnus' Ralliart project and that's impressive work. PICS!!!!!

[RalliNurse]

[MTZL]

Yes, they do Cobb tuning. The even saved their map to my AccessPort.

I really can't say what the manifold or turbo cost as they were lumped together with other stuff but I would guess at $300-400 for the former and probably around $1500 for the turbo. I can ask next time I'm there in a couple weeks.

As for pics, well I'm waiting to get my summer wheels on (18x8) and the brakes and then I'll take some. The car got quite dirty in today's monsoon but am hoping to hand wash tomorrow if the weather forecast proves to be correct.

That particular article inspired me to spend more money than I wanted to! :confused:

[BeeGee]

I should also mention that Magnus' intercooler is about 2 1/2 times the size of the stock unit!!!:D

But... was it worth it in the end? :D

I dont get the fascination with FP turbos, shaft play anyone? Ever looked at a Blouch or maybe even an evo X turbo?

Great day in the Toronto area today so got to hand wash the RA for the first time five months, so here's some pics.

Here's the dyno chart from the initial tune of my RA. Once everything is done, I'll post the final version, hopefully with the stock numbers, too.

Very clean, and great numbers!

Here's a couple pics of the engine bay. Don't know why the pics won't install in the message body so - hopefully - you can see them as attachments.

Nice and clean! They'll show up better if you host them from Photobucket or another picture hosting site.

That's what I did in my earlier posts using ImageShack. However, when I tried to do the same for my engine pictures, the 'Insert Image' icon was inserted into my message but, alas, no pic! Thus the attachment route! :(

Hmm, interesting. Try using the URL of the picture on Imageshack and add in front of it and at the end of it. That should allow you to integrate the picture into the post without looking like an attachment. For example:

Tried your suggestion, Bravo, but no luck. I'll try another site and see what happens.
