    Yes I am worse '). Good luck on the build up. I agree with matt and ditch the vj20 especially if you're running 460s

      You should make a copy of WHT95SCORT's old custom intake manifold that was sold on ebay a while back. Better than any stock manifold, I'd think.

        do yourself a favor quick. make your manifold externally gated. you will not regret it. reliable boost control on the VJ20 is essential.

        shortly i would not mess with the GTR manifold. its fairly well as is.
        Run those 10:1's if you feel like machining the seats for +1mm valves i can get you some cheap cheap

          i think he'll be fine running the 460s on the vj-20, especially if he's running 15psi...the man has a wideband anyways so he'll know whats up. plus he's running megasquirt...so he can control the duty cycle of the injectors too lol.

          i'm the same way antonio, making sure everything is port matched and will flow better than stock. keep it up!

            reverb @ the intake port entry is important to keep @ bay. when dealing with PSI

            a note to keep in mind^^^

            forgot about the MS, that should make tuning the injectors alot easier. on the OEM ecu its still pig rich even @ 15psi
            PS i'll be bringing you parts. give me a call antonio perhaps we can meet @ the yard again or elsewhere. OH!!!! wild rice soup is a must again

              the internal gate sucks HARD on the VJ20- if you don't go external, at least pick up something like this:

                lol the 164 turbo fuse is worth more than his vj20 peeshooter to begin with. just sell the vj20 man it sucks sucks sucks..

                  I like how you guys a bitching about a stock JV20 when earlier I mentioned I wan't to do a VF12 hybrid lol. And no custom intake manifold, the stock GTR one does wonders

                          Put a T3 flange on your gtx manifold and then find yourself a nice .42/.48. It would go nicely with the 460's.

                            I would love to have a VJ23 turbo because it's ball bearing and it's capable to put down 300whp. Plus it's a stock water/oil cooled!

                              Ya, they are the ideal turbo for a bp IMO.
