Lol, thank you sir!

No dyno yet just lots and lots of logging. So far the motor seems pretty happy at 17 psi on 91 octane. It's probably making around 500whp. Just need a clutch and fueling to run e85 and turn it up to 750+

damn!

also, tried again on the balance shaft and of course it came off in 5 min. dropped off my engine and head at the machine shop so hopefully have it back in a week then put everything back together.

few updates from my top mount project:

All intercooler and intake pipes mocked up and ready for powder coat. got away with using an aluminum universal piping kit instead of stainless (yes i know weight but we were going to try to minimize the silicone and my fabricators aluminum machine is at his house). but nothing some pipe, a band saw, and a bead roller cant do!

sooo ive been tossing the idea around of going back to a recirc valve. Im currently running a Tial Q50 thinking of swapping to the QR. Would any of you guys be interested in buying the Q50? Its basically brand new. ill giv it to you for my cost of the new valve (im a dealer)

probably not worth swapping your setup, but if you were to start over i'd recommend ewg.


also, where are you guys ordering your balance shafts? looks like i may be replacing mine too.

I've been using expressoemparts.com for the past few months. I had never heard of them until I came across them on google and gave them a shot. They have dirt cheap prices on everything, it's all OEM stuff and they are quick. There prices are like 10%+ cheaper than DAP.

I made a list of everything I needed/wanted and I ended up saving $90 total going with them instead of DAP. I try to avoid ECS if at all possible, plus I got a new timing chain and didn't trust to get it from ECS.

Thank you sir! Yes, it's staying stock on the outside :)

Are the gains of going EWG worth it at ~400whp levels?

internal gate gt3076 (smaller wheel) vs external gare gtx3076. See how flat the external gate holds the boost when it hits... It's nicer but not worth all the $$ it would take to upgrade.
