Count me in for both if they do.

she lives! only thing left before she's back on the road is an alignment

Hey nick any word on that part number for that 3/4 T fitting? I started putting mine back together today and want to use that port to cool the turbos..

she's not getting dyno'd right now. don't forget my engine was built last year lol, this was just head gaskets, water lines, manifold fix, new ceramic coating and upgrading Southbend from 3 -> 3.5. I do plan on dialing in 17psi and going for 600+ on pump within the next few weeks though but I have to break in the clutch. after I break 600 on pump and confirm no over heating issues I'll switch to e85.

I have a dynojet sheet at roughly 15psi tapering to 13 I can post up, that was 575whp/540tq.

post it up man

The best view of all that swain tech coating goodness.

Car needs an alignment and an inspection, but she's home and running great! The RAD team was meticulous as usual, I truly can't recommend them enough. If you're in the north east this is the only shop you need!

As for the water lines... these are the lines and fittings they are using for their in house turbo kit, which should hit the forums in the next month or so (its a full bolt on kit with custom vband manifolds/turbos, amazing fabrication). If you are interested in purchasing a set of lines, just give the shop a call: Tuesday - Saturday: 516 442-7155

I'm curious but I noticed you didn't have the brace put back on that connects the down pipes to the tranny. Do you think that may cause it to pull down on the turbo's/exhaust manifolds possibly creating stress??

it was just off in the picture, we were aligning the steering rack coupler. I would never recommend leaving that brace off it's definitely needed, I broke two flex joints in my old exhaust without using it.

I couldn't agree more to keeping it on but figured I would ask. Keep us updated and congrats on being up and going again!!!

I'm posting this here for a proper comparison for when I get back on the dyno in the next week or so. This was my dyno from June of 2013 when the car began having overheating problems. I had to wait several minutes between runs due to the coolant boiling in the overflow tank.

I also hadn't quite figured out how to dial in the boost controller at this point so boost would spike up to about 15 and then gradually fall to mid 12's by redline, timing was also lackluster in the upper RPM's which I suspect was due to the temperatures (the car showed no signs of knock and when we tore it down for headgaskets had 0 signs of knock anywhere)

Update? What were the final numbers?

car is in the body shop now (painting the aerojacket hood and nismo front bumper), new boost controller is on the way (GFB). I'll be tuning on the dyno on the 5/10

I also want to mention I beat the crap out of the car and haven't seen more than ~200F for water or oil, so I'm confident my overheating issues are sorted
