really not a fan of A2A IC's

10psi on that engine with e85 should be more than enough power to get me kicked so what is the point

I have the meth kit still in my car too, never will be an IC in that car again....

I would say, if i buy an IC you have to buy a turbo..... but i already know it wont be long until you do so what is the point

Why are you not a fan? They work, and they're easy to plumb.

Felt ambitious today and decided to get to it...... well, was ambitious, until when i was pulling the front pulley i decided to give the puller one last turn and the damn pulley fell square on my big toe. It looks lovely currently

anyway, i want to have a good oil turbo drain with no issues, so i am going to add a -10 bung on the timming cover, along with a ATI 25% underdrive balancer/pulley (without the AC pulley) to give me alot of room to work with, since it is 5.5" vs the stock 7.5"

as far as i got

In for seeing the finished product.

Looking badass so far.

looks like fun! i dont think i have ever seen a oil return in the timing cover, but i like it. use some nice stainless braided line and it should look pretty trick

The way the oil pan is in these it is tough to keep it above the oil level while using the pan, this should look nice

all i use is braided and black fittings, haha

Well since it snowed

Oil drain done, turned out very nice

and the idea on an engine

PS, I love having a kickass TIG machine

[zbrown]

Started on the hotside..... Decided to go with mild instead of SS because i am going to coat and possibly wrap it anyway

Picked up a nice set of Tein flex coilovers..... came with a 6/5 and 8/6 spring set (only 6/5 shown).

Should help get around an autoX course

[DrifterExtreme]

please go buy a gas lens before welding those up. make the job hell of a lot easier.

I picked these up on the cheap.... figured i better get a pair for the front to match the back before there aren't any of the older style around anymore

I really don't know what they go for usually, but offered 150 a piece shipped and they took it so i think that is darn cheap for what they are

5zigen FN's 17x8 with 25mm offset........ and i already have 17x9 with a 35mm offset in the rear

so no more gay rims with fucked up offset in the front

:icon_cheers:

Did the other side this evening... As you can see i am trying to keep both sides as symmetrical as possible.

That is why i like these manifolds and using some of the other styles of manifolds in combination bother me.... I am just weird like that

I will now mock my turbo flange in place and build from the flange to my manifold V-bands

I will be using 309 filler throughout
