Happy New Year all!!!
I just wanted to give a little bit of a update.
I have the motor sitting at DMC Racing and they are getting ready to mount it into the car this week. Once it finds it home they will then start to build the hot side of the turbo system. I can't wait to get it put into the car and get one step closer having done.
Well here is a picture of the front clip of the car removed.
Here is the front motor plate. I got this from FRE Racing
http://www.forresterracingengines.com. The thing that I like most about it is that all the timing cover bolts are used to hold the plate to the motor + the water pump bolts holding it the plate should never have a chance of flexing.
Next is the mid plate. I got this from AEI CNC http://www.aeicnc.com/.
This is the first one they have made like this. For the extra power we added 2 mounting tabs to the top and removed the 2 bolts they put in the left side lower arm. The lower left arm also has a nice kicker in it so it will fit the profile of the 4th Gen F-Body with the way it has the frame rail offset. It is very well made and should do a great job holding the motor.
I hope to have a few pictures of it in the car in the next week or so and will post them as soon as I get them.
Thanks

Well to tell you the truth yes and no.
As for the Yes part.
I got my new Exile ET-R Ultra Light Modular Competition Series Large Frame 106mm turbo. This thing is really nice and looks like Rick Head really did a great job with it. The housing looks great and fits really nice. I also had it on the scale and it was 9+ pounds lighter then the Precision 106 I have here also. Weight is weight so every little pound will add up in the end. Here are a few pictures. Anyone wanting more info on them can go to www.exileturbo.com
Well as for the progress on the car. Dennis and the whole DMC Racing crew are looking to get the motor in ASAP. The only problem is they all are stuck in 2+ feet of snow with no power. They got hit with a major snow storm over the past 2 days and can't do much about it. Once they get back to the shop and back to work I will have Joseph Staska take a few more pictures as soon as the motor is fitted in the chassis. Here are 2 picture Joseph took in the past week. He does really killer shot and can't wait for him to shoot the car.
