Wow come a long way.

+1 for the 935 style no shift knob. I'm signed up. What can we do for you?

unfortunately, you can do nothing right now. Im keeping the supra BPU for now (aka untill the twins blow). The next thing im doing is some aero and paint, along with changing the interior to black.

the fans are now wired up fully (no more test wiring). Stay tuned for some driving videos.

lol, idk if i can trust the clutch yet. I pulled a risky move by not switching it out mid swap. The good thing now is that it doesnt feel like a stock clutch, feals harder than some stage 1-2 clutches i have felt.

Car is 99.5% done.
the hood is on, the interior is almost together. I just need to find my shift knob, bolt on the steering wheel and put the glove box on. I took it out for a ride today and at 7lbs it feels awesome (didnt want to build more). too bad its so close to the end of the season :(

Looking good sir, and I hate hearing about your "season", I drive my car year round, but we rarely have snow here.

Turbo timer is hooked into the ignition and mounted looking all purdy. I need to hook up 2 more wires, the RPM signal (probably wont hook it up) and the e-brake signal(need to hook it up)

I must have put on 200 miles in the last 3 days (only drove it 2 days) and it has been amazing. no problems that were the motor's fault, my dumb ass forgot to make sure that the IC piping was all clamped down and i blew 3/4 of the connections.

12PSI feels sooo good.

Well, so much for being done. I'm blowing smoke when cooling down and on startup.

I believe it to be the twins, and will be going single after the car is off the road. I'm looking for something cheap, effective, reliable and something that will hit 400 on pump (under 20 psi using pump with no meth). Holset comes to mind, and I will be bidding on a he351 with a 12cm^2 housing that had the internal wastegate deleted and a 4" v-band exhaust side. From what I have seen, the turbo has a ~60mm hotside, a ~60mm inducer and ~100mm exducer, so it should be tons of fun.

After I go single, I will also be looking at getting the valve stem seals replaced as well.

Down pipe and hard pipes are a must, but I'm probably going e-bay special for the manifold(not made of money here Bryan). Good news is, along with a 4" down pipe, comes a 4" exhaust. You know anyone that can weld one up for me?

Edit, Bryan, got a spare WG laying around not being used?
