Getting "better built" for the '08...
boom
Blew it up, build numbers coming soon
gonna make a nice sleeper
few ?'s will you still pass your emissions out there? also, car needs a drop hardcore.
GT30R + stock motor... it'll be fun while it lasts
^^Exactly
Also, i see why you went with a .6 bar.. 9psi.. Anymore than that motor goes boom.. I just got me a 1bar spring for my 44mm wastegate... I had a 10psi spring in there and I was limited to my 10 psi kinda..
Build that motor up and have some fun with it

that sounds like a pretty badass setup to me

I love what your doing w/ the cav, i really do don't get me wrong but unless i missed it your going to need more then HPT to tune the car if your using a LE5 crank because of the ring on the crank being a different number.
I want to run the AEM stand alone, so i have to find a way to set up a cam trigger, looks like my power steering might hit the garbage can.
Looks good, can't wait to see the engine setup finished. I've never heard of that brand of rims, but they look really nice. I just checked out more of their styles of wheels and they all look pretty good really.
reminds me of darkstars GTC.
got some sweet wor goin on there man

I think he might have forgotten the k...work...I could be wrong though
14.330 @ 96.37mph
I don't think the off-the-shelf comp cams turbo grind will continue to make power all the way to 8500rpm, but its nice to know you can rev there if you want to. Not that you'll need to with ~2.5L of displacement, a tubular manifold and a gt30...
If you manage to complete everything on your list, I do believe this will be the most insane eco build by an org member...I'm most intrigued by the LE5 crank!
Nice build man..you know your stuff..keep going make it fast! 11's!! I may have missed it..I saw you had all the mounts..but what about a suspension setup..ognna have to be a good one to get that power to the ground. Keep it up man
