I'm trying.

I don't think it will be easy. We'll see what Dev and the guys can do.

I still have to find a stock exhaust.:(

so are you looking to do a full detune back to stock? or just tired of the lag.

i mean you could go to a 20G sized turbo which would be alot better for autocross. BUT if you're looking to sell the car and part it out, that's a different story.

if you're looking to ditch the intake manifold and some other parts (like that boost controller), i know someone who would probably be willing to take it off your hands.

the cams are a little out dated.. the new cosworth cams are supposedly unbeatable and they are the hot item now as far as cams go.

I'm just trying to get the intake, exhaust manifolds, and cams back to stock for now.

The major engine power adders.

if you do take out the cams, you'll have to take out the head gasket as well.. the one i have in there is a few mm larger than stock.. so you'll need to swap out the head gasket and get a head resurfacing as well.. =( when is your appt down there?

Just remember to wash your hands before you touch anyone else's car. We don't want this to spread.

I say give me your turbo and we can build a custom gt3076r kit for a toy tacoma!!!!

What cams are in that beast.

Im not gonna lie, this was a fun car to ride in on the AutoX course.

Set up well and it really didn't lag that badly. When it hit full boost it was like a kick in the damn pants. I thought my head was gonna go through the seat.

Fun car.

Are you gonna turn the caddy into a track monster?

I say you just swap the motors and sell it to some tool who doesn't know the difference.

i dont think there will be too much trouble changing it back to stock.. basically from what i remember.. he'll need to do the following.
- replace head gasket
- head refresh
- put in stock cams (i believe my stock valvesprings and retainer set can stay)
- swap out turbo manifold
- swap out intake manifold
- swap out turbocharger
- find stock dp and exhaust
- swap ECU
- remove MAP sensor
- take out oil catch tank
- replace upper IC pipe with stock + add recirculating valve back in
- remove vacuum block
- take out gauges, heads up display and boost controller

I have no doubt they'll be able to do it.. but how long it would take.. i dont know.. i assume they do stuff like that for customers pretty frequently..

Well the car is down there for a week. Dev didn't seem too worried about getting it mostly back to stock. He'll give me a call Monday with news after tearing into it.


Mike, I saw the red S2000 down there.
