It has been lying dormant in storage for 2 long years. I finally found the right guy, the time and the money to get this bad boy installed. Just dropped off my car at the shop and am expected to pick it up next saturday. i can't wait! it's going to be AWESOME!!!

here is the original sale thread with all the parts and pics included for those that are curious about what is in the kit. i wish i knew more about the details and the ins and outs of this kit, but unfortunately i don't. I just know that it is an amazing kit.

if memory serves me right, i believe this was originally allmotor's kit and was acquired by thinjim. only thing i'm adding is the Clutch Master Stage4 kit.

i want to thank Cocoa and Thinjim for making this all possible for me. can't believe it's finally going to happen.

 

goodluck

 

amazing! can't wait for some videos and numbers

 

Holy hell. Right on man

 

i need to see this kit alive again

 

Damn! I can't wait to see!!

 

WOOOOOW !! cant wait finally something going on !!




this is going to be serious i wonder how much whp does it on 6psi i guess about 340-360whp

 

^i think it is 380whp on 93 octane. unfortunately, i can only get 91 in SF....

BTW-never get tired of looking at those pics

 

Congrats on reviving the kit!

If you want entertainment, go back into Street Encounters and read Allmotor's and ThinJim's kills.

 

i love those stories because the car looked stock from the outside. Then he's beating these high end cars.

 

Here's one of the Allmotor_2000 Turbo kill stories. We'll be expecting regular postings from you too m733l

IIRC, Thinjim blew his motor with this kit, then he replaced the motor and sold the car to AustinTaper

 

This makes me want drop my sc project.

 

Sweet! Put up some youtube videos after you get her back.

 

Don't recall ThinJim blowing his motor. ThinJim did additional tuning on the kit and had a knock sensor added. Allmotor had problems with has after he pulled the kit and replaced the shortblock IIRC.

 

I'm pretty sure that Thinjim blew his motor with it as well. I conveniently couldn't seem to find his post on it (it's been awile), but I found a few posts of his as evidence:

loved these stories. love them even more because i will be on the winning end of them

 

this will be finally smthing worth waiting for...........lol

 

7 k is a lot for that kit, but daym if u can see 400s on the regular, who give a shyt.

i only wish i could race that with my car to see the actual difference in debocalement. would be jokes

 

Awesome M733! Good luck with the kit and the slaughters! Can't wait to see it "breathing"!

 

Ugh.. what a thread... guess we know who the "lucky bastard" was!

OMG

(Sorry can't seem to post videos inline)

 

Looking forward to this!! What's that fititng with the stainless line plumbed in right before the tb? IAT sensor or something? Can't quite tell

 

haha. actually, i wasn't the "lucky bastard" at the time. it wasn't until a couple years later until the kit resurfaced itself and was able to get a crazy deal for it.

quick update: the tranny is out and the clutch should be going in today. i'm having the guy do the initial break-in on the clutch for me, so he won't get started on the turbo kit unitl fri/sat.

 

Those pictures from ThinJim on the motor were related to his RWD drag car motor - not related to blowing a motor in his CLS6.

 

Hope they're replacing the rear main seal while they have it out.

 

Awesome can't wait to see it! My transmission will be coming out a 3rd time hopefully by week's end. Unfortunately when it goes back it it will only still be putting out oem power :S

Good luck!

 

i will let them know. thanks

 

This was thinjim's kit:

nice.

 

so of course there is a hang up. my guy goes to do the clutch and starts putting it back together and realize they is not throw out bearing. called CM and they say it is supposed to be there. reach out to the member i bought the kit from to see if he has it. we'll see....hopefully he does and get it shipped to my guy asap.

 

What injectors u gonna run?

 

^ rc440's.

 

if i had the money back when it was on sale, this would be in my car... hope u sell in the future haha..


gl

 

isn't the throwout bearing cheap 1 and 2 good to put in a new one vs used?

 

i called clutchmasters and they didn't recommend the oem bearing (~$70). they suggested that i use their bearing which is $90 plus shipping. anyone know if the oem bearing and CM bearing is interchangeable?

either way, it should have came with the kit....

 

I would imagine that it's interchangeable since it rides on the fork. I would trust the OEM bearing. Is CM saying theirs is better because it's upgraded to handle the increased pressure plate springs?

 

he might be just saying that to get me to buy there product.

 

U can I'll be more than glad to take the S./c of yours hands asap

 

Can't wait to see this back up an running...

 

Ofcourse someone in Cali would buy this kit so I still can't see it in action at a track locally. Damnit. Can't wait to see some numbers/vids at least lol.
