Looks good...but you said you will run 13 psi....on which turbo? Maybe I'm blind, but I don't see a turbo listed...

Good luck with the build.

 

here are the new rear rotors drilled & installed
rotors fresh of the press

im thinking of buying the fastbrakes kit for the rear but it might be over kill. it uses a 11.4in rotor w/2 piston calip!!!!!

thanx. the turbo is a t3/t4 i have to check the specs for the trim

 

seems cool keep us posted

 

Why 13psi? Are you hoping to reach a certain hp goal with 13? Maybe a better goal would be a whp rating...

 

run 15 psi daily and 21 on race gas

 

the build can handle more than that, but i still want it streetable. i think im going to work on different maps for different setting once it together

 

21 psi is streetable, just dont floor it or take it past 4k

 

lol thats a hard one. u know how it is u get a wild hair up ur a*s and want to smash the pedal to floor. lol

 

new strut bar in place.

nice build. should be fast and fun. i liked everything until i read the tein basics as your coilovers.... :/. just not my fave but your car. very nice build on the motor and turbo tho.... im jealous.

 

thanx. on the suspension im also looking @ the buddy club N+ there a bill more

I would definately go with the buddy club... the tein basics are verrrry mediocher at best and koni yellows w/ goos springs would be better. the buddy clubs are nice and would be my choice. thats my .02. my buddys basics also just blew after 1 night of hard driving.

 

looks ok to me, i'm sure your build plans will change slightly as the build progresses. For starters, i would NOT use the VAFC or SAFC for ANY type of tuning, you will not fine tune anything that Crome, Uberdata, AEM, Hondata etc... can't take care of.

x2. chipped p28 on chrome is unstoppable.

 

on the tuning im using neptune its a sweet program and its real time programing. the vafc will be used with the neptune only when i travel to different places and i dont have my laptop.

kool thanx on the heads up.

 

First... Vitaras aren't going to get you 9:1 compression. In fact, they usually end up 8:1 or even under (like 7.8:1, depending). I mean you can certainly mill the head or deck the block, but then you get into problems like the timing belt jumping teeth. Keep that in mind.

Second, you have ARP internal bolts listed. If you're talking about mains, they don't make them for the D-series engines. Though, I'm told you can use H22's or something of the sort... But it's not worth it. Something about it ***** with your crank and/or girdle, and you don't want that. I don't know the exact details, but I've had two people try this and they both confirmed it fucked up one way or another. Just get some OEM mains from majestic, I think they end up around 60-70 dollars for all of them.

on the compression ive crunched the numbers and ended up with 9.02:1 but actual, i wont know until ive finish the head and cc the chambers also im not sure of the margin on the new valves.

the arp bolts are just the head studs. i forgot the details on that one

 

 

 

sounds to me like its gonna be a good build. keep it up

 

This will be a fun buil. Do you have pictures of the car? G/L on your build btw

 

ill put up some pictures when i get back into town
