I'm in awe. You guys are just amazing! Can't wait to see this in person.

I got back home last night and I will leave to go back down and finish everything up from Tuesday - Thursday. Here are some more pictures for everyone.

We got the MagnaCharger installed with all new ARP bolts.

We got the Pulley's all installed, the 2 idler pulley's will be replaced with a set that will be here today. I used these 2 idler pulley's to set up the spacing for belt alignment.

We then attacked the wiring harness to clean it all up and make it easier for the Coil Covers that will be painted to match the SSR.

We also started on the Autometer Gauge install.

It looks a lot different than it did on Saturday afternoon.....

2005SSR6Speed · 01-21-2008, 10:38 AM

Thanks, it is coming together real nice. We will be working on it again Tuesday evening through Thursday if you want to stop by again.

The SSR is up and running, we need to break it in on the way to Laughlin tomorrow then start tuning for boost. I will post up a bunch of pictures for everyone after the weekend.

Hank had the dealership vacuum the clutch system and refill the A/C. I cant believe that they dont have any way to bleed the clutch system at all.

We finished the build on Thursday and the SSR was driven for 5 hours to the National SSR Western Meet in Laughlin, Nevada on Friday. Hank drove it out there on a break in tune and kept it out of boost. It is a 2005 SSR 6 Speed and got 21.5 MPG on the trip to Laughlin. We tuned it for boost on the way to the Laughlin Marina for a Show and Shine event that we were too late to enter (out having fun with tuning). We have a solid 10psi of boost and this thing is a FREAK!!!! It is tuned on 91 octane street gas and will literally pin you in the seat on a launch. We are running a custom set of 17" Boze Wheels and M&H DragMaster skinny front and fat rear tires. Hope you enjoy all the pictures!! Hank also got 22.5 MPG on the 5 hour trip back to Phoenix, Arizona.

Outstanding build.

That good lookin' 122 HH Magnacharger and Edelbrock heads pictured were installed by Hank (wilddesertwolf) and Joe Delano (2005SSR6Speed) on Hellvis in October of '08 in Hank's garage. Hellvis dyno'ed at 589 RWHP after the installation. The 112 Magnacharger from Hellvis was removed and installed on RAD-SSR's COMMET at the same time.

Hank went with a bigger build and a TVS 2300 Magnacharger on his truck.

His truck is a MONSTER, glad he's got it back on the road!

Sure would like a exhaust sound clip of both trucks for the performance exhaust thread.

Performance Exhaust Sound

wilddesertwolf · 10-02-2011, 07:17 PM

I just received some parts to modify my exhaust. Once I get them installed I will get you a sound clip of my exhaust system.

2005SSR6Speed · 10-03-2011, 04:16 PM

I am so glad to see this SSR back on the road! Hurray Hank!!
