A little Introduction... - 8/14/2006 8:33:15 PM    Michaels_RT   Posts: 211 Joined: 7/22/2006 Status: offline OK so I have been surfing and posting a little here and there for about a week or two maybe. I drive a 1994 Dodge Stealth RT TT conversion. Did almost all the work myself. As well as tearing down the engine and rebuilding that once also. Love the car, dont ever want to not have one in my driveway. Lots of mods, never track ran it, but will eventually. Guessing somewhere in the area of 410 HP at the crank. 350+ at the ground...give or take at 9 psi. I have owned or played with just about anything mitsu has offered in the US market, including 3 generations of Eclipse, mirage, Mighty max, etc etc etc. I am a Mitsu type guy. Car guy, and like to be as helpful as I can. A little harsh at times, but I try not to be. OK, enough talking, here is some eye candy for ya all... http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a83/Michaels_RT/StealthinKYresize2.jpg http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a83/Michaels_RT/StealthinKYresize.jpg http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a83/Michaels_RT/mycarwithnew575hood3.jpg http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a83/Michaels_RT/mycarwithnew575hood7.jpg http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a83/Michaels_RT/IM000457.jpg < Message edited by Michaels_RT -- 8/14/2006 8:34:16 PM > Post #: 1

I have a couple pics that were previously uploaded into my photobucket, but nothing of the cleaned up completed project. These pics are relatively old. As far as expense, I was pretty lucky, had a donor car or 2 in order to make sure I had EVERYTHING and there was a lot of small knick knacks and gaskets etc etc etc etc that I bought. It cost me ROUGHLY $2500 in parts, including the 60k service parts and I did most of the work myself. Already had the SAFC also so you can add that $250 if you like. Its not OVERLY expensive considering the power gains, but not an easy job unlss you are very experienced. I wasnt VERY experienced but had a good idea of what was going on, had ALL the main parts, and had a mechanics help if I needed it. Not bad. OK here are a couple pics of the engine bay DURING the conversion... Here is a BEFORE I did anything but SRI...still NA here http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a83/Michaels_RT/Michaels%20Pics/newenginepicssmaller.jpg http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a83/Michaels_RT/carrebuildpics2.jpg http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a83/Michaels_RT/carrebuildpics1.jpg http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a83/Michaels_RT/Michaels%20Pics/turboinstallpics7.jpg http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a83/Michaels_RT/Michaels%20Pics/SAFCbeinginstalledandtunedalittle.jpg I changed out that blue valve cover for a stock one...the blue didnt turn out the color I had hoped for... http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a83/Michaels_RT/Michaels%20Pics/enginebayTT.jpg bottom view of rear turbo... http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a83/Michaels_RT/Michaels%20Pics/picsofmyTTconversionatRAD39.jpg ALll the intercooler stuff lying on the ground before the install http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a83/Michaels_RT/Michaels%20Pics/picsofmyTTconversionatRAD5.jpg Front turbo being installed http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a83/Michaels_RT/Michaels%20Pics/picsofmyTTconversionatRAD20.jpg tearing the front of the car off for intercooler install... http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a83/Michaels_RT/Michaels%20Pics/picsofmyTTconversionatRAD13.jpg http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a83/Michaels_RT/Michaels%20Pics/picsofmyTTconversionatRAD7.jpg http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a83/Michaels_RT/Michaels%20Pics/picsofmyTTconversionatRAD12.jpg the cutting needed for the IC piping in ALL NA cars... http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a83/Michaels_RT/Michaels%20Pics/picsofmyTTconversionatRAD11.jpg OK thats enough for now (in reply to TheEngineer) Post #: 3
