Nice nice, the low deck height is gonna give nice squish. Nothing better than a freshly rebuilt motor. I have been following this thread for a long time. Will you just get it done already!! :D

I'm mentally piecing together a turbo for my M20 that I'm putting together now and when I finish my second M20 that will have a lot of work done to it, we will be talking about quite bit more boost. Right now I just want like 240whp. That's not too much to ask, is it? :D

I should have the motor together within the week or so and all that's really needed to get her going is the turbo,pcv system,brakes all around and a nice tune at maximum psi. So planning on having it done soon cause I'm defenetly driving this to my wedding.Last edited by beefjurky69; 03-14-2012, 06:54 AM.

expect those plug wires to be abused by heat.
after 3 sets i decided to use some dei plug wrap which seems to be working wonderfully.
How's the car feeling at 400hp is it a beast? I'm hoping to get up and running for break in on sat if everything goes as planned.
