Pics look great for the stock 18-55 lens. Keep it up, I've already put 8k miles on my setup, and I started after you!

It's not pretty under the hood but I'm way too busy to work on it. So far I've put 10k miles on it boosted. I just got some FJR rods and vitaras today, I've got a y8 block coming in the mail too. Your turn to post pics!

Re: 1997 EJ8 Turbo x Daily Driver Build

Just Got back from Church's Automotive tuning. The car made 264 hp at 6507 rpm and 248 lbft of torque at 5188 rpm. Red line is set at 7250 rpm and the 2 step at 5500 rpm creating 8 lbs of boost.

First gear is set off the waste gate spring (7.25 lbs) and the rest are set at 13.23 lbs with boost by gear.

My homie got some footage with his go pros and hopefully he hooks me up with it sometime soon. I did some highway pulls with a cbr but these crappy all season tires just break loose. Blah.. Dyno graph and pictures coming soon.
