BTW, lol, my car looked exactly like yours 3 years ago, auto black sohc POS. So much changed since then... good memories

Ok so long time no updates so I had it all up and running but now I'm putting in a vj20/vf10 in there and getting it all ready for boost. Pics soon to come.

^ welcome back awaiting pictures patiently

just testfitting everything up and stuff I used the b8 hard coolant line cause it has the extra nipple on it for the turbo and I also used jb weld for oil drain.

[FE3-323]

a couple major tips:

Use permatex® ultra black RTV for the oil pan.
port match the turbo inlet to the 3" pipe you have welded to it & you'll see some significant gains. that wall there is a horrible spot for turbulence pre compressor wheel.

I never thought about porting that out... good idea. I also need a power series downpipe from corksport cause all I have is a stock elbow and it's going to be super restrictive.

was going down the road and started to slow down then i saw a lot of smoke and it died. but when i tried to crank it it just seems like the starter is spinning freely. i know its not but thats what it sounds like
