Wow, This is an awesome build and about a 3 hour read lol. So why was it not making power?? That is a monster turbo. I am thinking of buying a GT28R, It should spool down low and have plenty of top end I hope. I've been trying to figure out how to read flow charts and figure out AR's but its confusing as hell.

How did you decide on what turbo to buy?

I tried to use the turbo maps to decide what turbo to buy, but after using this turbo I should of went with the GT28RS or slightly bigger for a more street fun type car. This turbo is nice cause I don't run out of power at the top end but takes too long to spool up.

hey great build.

have you had any trouble with your copper oil drain?




I was going to do the same thing but with mandrel bend copper pieces and pipe I got, but then I read this thread:

Using annealed copper helps put off the evil day, but re-annealing (which isn't too difficult, by the way) will become a periodic necessity.

and now I am starting to worry about the idea. My friend has a gtx with a copper pipe for the drain and he hasnt had a problem yet, but I am wondering how reliable the copper is.

^personally i wouldn't worry about copper/brass being a problem. not to the extent they are worried about....... secondly.... isn't there a copper alloy blend in bearings........................

ya and the copper washers on the oil in etc. just dont wanna crack it maybe I should just just try it anyways.

The race car will be on the road soon - that's awesome Jon! We haven't chatted in a while - drop by when she's running. The MS2 Extra code is a lot more stable now as well.

Will sure check what will the "final" result be...

So I've learned that one of my brake bleeders was slightly open and it drained my fluid over the winter. Ah well it was due for a bleed...

Better in the garage then on the street.

lol ya that'd be an annoying thing to find out, but nonetheless not a massive failure or a big task to take on lol.

So I noticed you're active on the forum now, any updates?

Not really, she's been sleeping for the past three years due to aircare... tried many times to pass aircare and just gave up and are now waiting till it's all over at the end of this year.

[FE3-323]
