Honestly I have no idea. I just started driving it today. I have a slight oil leak at the T. My T on the block has the oil feed at the top, and the oil pressure sensor at the bottom. The rubber "hat" of the sensor just barely clears, and the oil is seeping out of the "hat". So i'm going to try and extend the wire and cover it up more and hope that fixes it.

I just took these pics with the flash on, cuz it's night out, and it looks really dirty. But it's actually pretty clean!

Im guessin around 210 crank horsepower? I don't know. I want an Apex'i Rev/Speed. Oh yeah I have an HKS turbo timer i need to hookup.

looks really nice besides the NET you have over the compressor inlet....good thing your turbo wont be able to suck in anything over 1/4" in diameter ...

I'll figure out something for the compressor inlet. Turbo spools around 4Kish RPM.

did you fix the oil leak at the t fitting ? If not the fix is you have to go buy permatex part#56521 its the only thing i found that works . the reason must be because the oil pressure sender has metric pipe threads and your t fitting has
1/8" ntp threads so they dont seal so well. make shure the parts are clean and it must sit over night before you can use it .

are you going to put a filter on that beast or just run it without one?

I will get some finer mesh. I have an HKS filter i want to put on, but i'll worry about it later, cuz i have no pipes.

I will do a write and prices and stuff.

As far as the oil leaking at the pressure sensor. I think i gotta take it off, reclean it and put some permatex on it. Cuz its still leakin there. What a bitch.

I have a BSPT to NPT adapter. It's leaking at the actual Sensor. The rest of the T is dry. Where can I get some finer mesh?
