All in all pretty sad.

Now im going KA-t, needless to say. Once thats done im gonna figure out a way to twincharge this bad boi, and blow it up. Right now im doing turbo first, shooting for a modest 220-230 whp. Not too much to ask for right? Once im succesful, i will build the engine and proceed with the rest. Problem is im new to boosting and have a lot to experience, and twincharging isnt going to be easy so i will need some expert advice from you guys...

KA-t parts so far:

GT28 dual BB turbo with t3 flange. wtf?
370cc injectors

Turbo:

Spent so far:
Turbo - 250
Injectors-74
Total: $324

wait, twin charged means a fuckin turbo and a fuckin supercharger, not twin turbos you fucktards......unless you wanna coin a word like dualcharged...never heard of it

jesus.

anyway, thanks to long grain i believe i stumbled upon a skyline gts-t turbo.....rawr...now if only i could determine whether this turbine wheel is steel or ceramic.. :heyhey

btw, wtf is so impossible about twincharging. it has very valid applications. take a look at the hp and torque curves of a stock ls7 and imagine emulating that....

and there is someone who can tune anything, i definitely will not be tuning it once i even GET to that point. its been done on nissan motors before, and it can be done again.

yeah your right about twin charging... im trying to find out what term that one company used for its TT s/c-ed sti kit they sold for like 10k.

its not hard to calculate the tune, just get a trusty local guy to do it on a dyno and i dont imagine things other than the bottom end fuel adjustment would be off since things like timing are usually boost related adjustments (so it wouldnt matter what rpm, just what psi you are at).

Well, i fixed the clutch, it was due to the retainer spring allowing for too much play in the release fork. Meh, who would have guessed. Now it grabs hard, almost too damn hard. Anyway, that said i decided to restore her beauty and i also got a hold of a 6.1 mp cam, so I'm going to whore her out again.

What has been done-

-New engine mounts
-Polyurethane tranny mount
-Radiator Flush
-Oil Change
-Found and fixed an annoying vacuum leak
-New crank pulley, again
-Fixed oil leak with new front main seal
-GOT A SET OF THESE PUPPIES

Yup, so nothing too crazy, 18 cedit hourse in college and 30 hours a week at t-mobile is hard enough as it is. BTW, who here needs a free phone?

Anyway, lil bit of re-whoreing with a better (meh, still lame) camera -
