Hungry for input...
Is it running yet?
How is it?
Boost, hp, torque etc.
You got my curiosity...

I'm wondering too. Thinking about adding the amr500 supercharger to my WBX. Let us know how your project turned out. Thanks

Hi All,

Sorry for the lack of updates, but unfortunately, I have to sell her:

SL I'm so sorry to hear of what must be a devastating change in your life and projected future. I'm sure I echo all of us wishing you the best possible outcome to every aspect of this and hope that you are OK.

[Jake de Villiers]

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that. Good luck.

All,

Thank you very much for the kind words! This project has been a lot of fun over the years and it has been great getting everyone's input.

Also, while I am sad that the Syncro is going away, I do hope she goes to a good home that will appreciate it. Unfortunately with the massive business changes underway for me, I need to free up capital. While stressful, it will all work out in the end.


Thanks Again,

Scott

I'd love to hear about how this worked out. Wonder if anyone did a dyno test?

For the "loss" I would have thought swapping on some stock components and getting it through smog would be easier. How was this not considered pre purchase?

There are a few exceptions but "getting through SMOG" has to be done upon initial registration in the state and then every 2 years plus every ownership change in between.

A Calif SELLER has a legal obligation to provide a current smog certificate when they sell to a consumer in the state.
The smog certificates expire 90 day after the test.
The seller can write "sold as is" but that doesn't override their smog obligation in Calif even if the buyer agrees to it.

it's here in san diego, l spent a couple of hours with it this afternoon.
she threw the blower belt, which took out the other two.

there are a few other issues that need to be dealt with, some more serious than others.
coolant leaks etc.
and right now she runs VERY poorly
so l'm going to have to learn how megasquirt works.
