I bought a turbo kit from HPF's. It comes with the manifold, It's a greddy copy, but made from 321 Stainless steel. It's not one of those $100 ebay deals. Unfortunately they only sell the manifold in the kit...z1turbo said:
Reign_Maker said:Damn Nate, you know, we have nearly the EXACT set up... I have 800cc injectors, you have 750cc... Other than that, same turbo, same fuel pump, same pistons, rods, head work, AEM.... Holy shit!
Hey, I'll paint my block purple if you paint your car silver, and then we can be NorthWestern/SouthEastern twins!
Lets change that to: I have 1000cc injectors...
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! I had to step up!
GIT 'ER DUN!
I'll make it use it! :evil2:
Actually Nate, Im just settin this motor up to take it the next level man... I figure once 750hp gets weak, I'll swap turbos and drop in a GT42R and some spray, push her up to 900-1000hp...

Yeah really...kwnate said:
I was talking to a friend of mine before I started my build, and when I told him I wanted to do a build because 500 wasnt enough, he told me that I had a sickness, lol, because if 500hp wasnt enough, something was wrong with me... HA! Something is wrong with me Nate... Something is VERY VERY wrong with me! :evil2:

nah jake you should go to the GT47-88 and peg out the 7M stupid hp meter
whats the news on your car nate?
That's awesome looking, any pics of them hooked up and working? Also, what are all of the gauges you used in the cluster?kwnate said:Well I decided to buy an extra gauge cluster and test my dremel skills. This took a lot of time trimming and fitting but wasn't very difficult. I'm more worried about hooking all the gauges up... I cut pieces of lexan to hold the gauges centered in the stock locations. Stock gauges are angled, I thought about trying to angle them but then decided to just put em in flat and put the least important gauges all the way to the right. They'll still be visible just not straight on.
Here is a test fit. I sanded the lexan and the entire black gauge surround so I could paint them all to match in semi-flat black.
I know 9 out of 10 of you don't like auto meter, but ya'll can lick em. They're all electric gauges. I know they aren't JDM tyte, but they look good imo, and I'm confident they'll be just as accurate as other. Here is a semi final shot, I still need to transfer my odometer over as the one I bought has a few more miles than mine:icon_bigg
Here is what it looks like in the rear
