Another semi-productive day. Got the Coil wires wired up and made all the lines for the catch...WARRRNING....braided-lines can be a pain in the ***...but its soooo worth it in the end, its looks niceeeeee. Black Box was removed and a nice little gem from B&R Fittings put in its place. And dont worry the PARTS MASTER is not my choice for oil filters but it will do initial start up, im gonna go with a WIX cause they have never done me wrong.

Well im bringing back my thread. Its been a long time and the car has come along nicely. The car got tuned back in july of last year and made 272whp at 14psi with a zex 105100 cam. I have a bisi cam now thats waiting to be installed. I went with a BW S258 for my turbo. I recently took out the MSD 6A box and blaster ss coil in exchange for a M&W Pro-10 and Crane Coil. Suspension wise its alll the same except for rear lower control arms. Took it to the track a few times and ended the season running 11.80@115. Over the winter i picked up a blox 76mm TB and got my intake ported to match. In about a week the car is going to get the cam put in and then off to get re-tuned on pump gas. I hope to make around 350-400 on pump and over 500 550 on race gas.

Setup now:

d16y8 block
darton sleeved
wiseco
eagle
polished crank
d16y8 head
ported and polished
Bisimoto cam
crower springs and retainers
manley valves std size
skunk 2 IM

turbo setup
Cory R ramhorn
BW S258
full 3 inch

electronics
P28 on EcTune
M&W Pro-10 kit from T1 with crane coil
EcTune PWM boost solenoid
