are you putting a Built 5mt or 6mt in this car? How about pistons/ rods?

im using a turbo legacy 5sp with cryogenic treated gears

stock rods but replaced 4 of the stock rods with ej20k sti rods. same rods but have way less miles. and ej22t pistons

filthy!

We need a vid!

We need a ride!

yeah i wish it ran but ive been dedicating my time to finish everything drivetrain wise before i finish electrical and im going to start electrical this week and will start it before next sunday

Outstanding!

I'm not sure what kind turbo that is, but I know some really hate life when they aren't close to level...

hmm well i need to slant it because of clearing the fuel pressure regulator and PS lines and also for the downpipe to fit

Most turbos aren't recommended to have more than a 15 degree slant. The sealing ring is like a piston ring and oil can seep out. Also, the oil sitting on the rear bearing can affect spool-up.


I made the same mistake myself, and reworked it shortly after. Can you move it forward slightly so you can level it out a bit? One trick I do is to use a tire pressure gauge jammed in there somewhere, and then shut the hood to find out how much clearance you have.

just read that you dont want anymore than 20 deg. of angle so i should be in that range... i can try and figure out what my angle is at, that would be best

nevermind on the whole turbo tilt because i fixed it and now it sits flat . figured that was easier than taking a risk with it tilted. thanks for the heads up on the that issue

heres just some updated stuff on my build:

micropolished crank


new obx front strut brace



new rear strut brace


new H lower chassis brace


whiteline rear endlink bushings

Nice looking crank

havent updated in a while but everything except a little wiring is done and ill be ready for a test start soon

I'll be watching this, I'm very interested in all of this. Might look into it myself someday. Looks awesome so far and I can't wait to see more work done.

It's a little smokey

I like your youtube video caption: "pretty much stock. took the exhaust off so it was loud."

There's nothing stock about that....
