My FI Build has been on going for about a year and a half now. In this thread I will be posting pictures, what parts I have and more.
I got my used Scion FRS OCT or 2015 with 11,000 miles on it got for 18k.
My first mod was my tail lights I went with Valenti I love the way they look. After the tail lights I got a set of coil-overs I went with BC because I have had them in that past and I have never had any problems with BC coil-overs.
In DEC of 2015 I decided to order a V1 Rocket bunny kit.
Shortly after I put in the order for my wheels I went with WORK Meister s1r
F-18x9.5 -10 R-18x11-20 This offset was perfect for the rocket bunny kit.
During the same time I ordered all the suspension i would need.
Stance Rear LCA's, Whiteline rear sway bar, endlinks, Also got come caster arms down the road.
After I got the rocket bunny kit on the car with the wheels and everything I chilled out for a bit. OCT 2016 I needed more power!
I ordered a Turbo kit from Modern automotive performance in MN. Also during this time I wanted to run E85 flex fuel kit so I went with a PnP kit and that was a delicious tuning kit.
In November got the turbo kit installed with a Clutch Masters FX400 and if you were wondering I was running a GTX3071R with a 14lbs WG spring I knew it was a lot for a stock block. Needless to say the motor didn't last long. Motor was tuned at Pure Automotive it was at 385whp and 293tq. on E85
That same month (November) 11/21/16 I reached back out to MAP in MN and put in a order for a new built short block. Below is the following parts. $4400.00 Built for 700
-Brand new case half's
-New crank
-Manley Turbo tuff rods
-Manley 10:1
-King racing bearings
-HKS Head gaskets
-Rebuild kit
The new motor was shipped out about a month later around 12/27/16. When it showed up it looked great I couldn't be any more happy with the product and customer service from Ian (my sales rep at MAP in MN). Once the new motor showed up we them took my blown motor out of my car. I was planning on keeping the heads and just swapping them over to the new block. Well that didn't go as planed when we took the right side head off and opened it up and I saw 3 rockers that snap and some bent rods. At this point I was like when will it end. So I sent the Heads out to be worked on After some research I took them to Element tuning in Gaithersburg, MD, Phil is great to work with and is very knowledgeable on our motors, I decided to port the Heads and get oversized valves, new rockers, springs and retainers. The head work was $2500.00.
In the last couple weeks we were getting the motor ready to get dropped in.
As of right now we dropped the new motor the car yesterday 2/27/17. Everything went smoothly. Still need to install turbo manifold and new turbo. Yes I got a new turbo for the build. I went with a Precision 6262 reason for this is that The garrett GTX30 isn't built for beyond 500 also I didn't want to deal with coolant lines, the new 6262 can handle up to 700.
Please stay tuned for pics and progress! And if you have any questions PLEASE ASK. Also If you would like to see more pics please go to my IG @ELITE_RB
