V70R M66 Project Update

Recommended Posts

Some shots from when I was in Houston a few weeks ago. Really look the car over, lots of small details/updates. Full build thread when the car is done. Aaron is still fabing a few other parts along with some more paint work. Car needs to be buffed and have engine compartment polish/detail done....along with some other details (stickers come off, more paint work, etc), but you get the gist. Still waiting on IPD to get a more correct tune to me....drives great but has some more left in it Questions- shoot me a PM.

Enjoy.

I will have some wheels custom built when the car is done, prob 3 piece with a polished lip. Those are Team Dynamics wheels- chosen for low weight and low cost for race wheels. Aaron and I both agree...they just don't fit the car 100% but not a bad wheel.

PIMPIN car

It sucks that were all held hostage my Marco actually doing his job :rolleyes::angry:

Pretty much. Aaron, Juan, and I have discussed other options. If we don't get something that is a lot closer really soon we will be exploring those options.

Once again the "few days" for turn around has taken weeks....but I will give them it is the holiday season and Lucky was at SEMA...

I would agree with that. I do think IPD could help push him along a bit. I will say though I am glad we at least have a source for a tune though.

Holly intake manifold batman!

Details??

Custom built by Aaron at Race Lab Fabrications. All of the welds are AMAZING. Look at the pics none of them have been cleaned up even...

He is considering possibly doing a very small run of these, you'll need the intake manifold and few other 1 off parts Aaron makes. I don't know for sure but I am betting cost would be $1200+. Please also realize the tune for this intake has not been perfected yet.

At least you got something I email daily and dont get squat back . :rolleyes::monkey:

Not really..I'm on my second tune from them which I've had for months...prolly 6 months honestly. Car has not been tuned for the intake or many of the other mods. It pulls hard but I am having an issue with the boost falling off in the higher gears as well as not having as much boost as it should period- amoung other issues. Aaron provides them with more information than anyone else does, it really shouldn't be that difficult. I know to be PERFECT we need dyno time, etc which will come eventually but no need to spend the $$$ on that until we are closer than this.

I dont want even that much I just want the CEL to go away and be able to rev above 4k .

Marco can pick what ever , motor , tranny , injecotrs , turbo , what ever for the car I have it all.

I just want my XC to be manual
