Damn, I'm assuming you're going to be running BIG numbers later on down the road then? Because I can't imagine how frustrating it must be to have to wait for a turbo that damn big to spool up, just to run 6psi. How is daily driving with that thing?

Re: (Turbo_Siii)
I am thinking of running the sc61 on a stock b series block. ALOT of people say it's not worth it, but what is YOUR opinion about it? Is it worth the wait for it to spool up, or do you wish that you had purchased a smaller turbo?

waiting for the boost isn't bad at all. it's great because under normal driving conditions, no boost, but when i want it, the top end is huge. some times i do wish that i had gone with a smaller turbo, but then i keep in mind that i bought this now so i wouldn't have to upgrade the turbo in about 6 months. i'm planning on hondata s200b, ls/vtec, sleeves, rods, pistons, and valvetrain real soon. i'd say go ahead and get it if you're planning on building up the motor, no point in buying a smaller one now and then getting a bigger one later in my opinion.
btw, i'm pushing .6 bar now...runs great

Re-route the dump tube back into your exhaust or out the bottom of the engine bay. The way it is now your bay's gonna be black as hell. It doesnt even look like you have any room to put a dump tube on there @ all.

Re: (superfuji57)
i'm using the stock a/c fan on the passenger side of the radiator. a/c works fine. i was concerned about it at first, but after talking to some of the guys from jotech, they said there shouldn't be any problems, as long as i had atleast one. i figure is the a/c ever goes out, time to get rid of a/c and get a full race mani.
