    Ya mine came with the 21cm also. I looked into getting a 12cm but I couldn't find one that was a decent price. So I said fuck it I don't car if I have a little lag.

    Ya i was surprised it made that power at such low boost. Yes that is a 16cm exhaust housing on the h1c.

    Here is the thread if you are interested

    I went with IE HD rockers and IE Ss valves it is all back together.

    Beautiful


    Also I got it on the dyno. Me and my buddy where up till 2am and woke up at 5 to make the 3hr trip to the dyno. In our exhaust state we forgot to put the cam oil sprayer in. Thankfully we were able to source on in the town we were in.

    The they broke the engine in on the dyno and then started tuning for boost. That's when the turbo seal blew out and our day was over. It made 240awhp and 280awtq at 6psi Wastegate is set for 14.

    Thanks brother! The pillar gauge is from Ortiz custom gauges it took 2 months and they sent me a e36 gauge pod. I had to send them my stock a pillar and it took another 2 months for that one. Also the tab that holds it on at the bottom broke off we jb welded it, that broke so we ended up having to screw that tab on didn't affect the cosmetics at all just a bitch.

    Nice man! If you look at the post I just wrote you can kinda get a idea of what hp your is at. Ya I'm running MS gen 2 think when I get it dynoed again I'm going to switch to wasted spark. Should be around 400awhp at full boost. Hopefully the front diff will survive!

    I feel you man I don't want to fuck my new motor up because I'm in the process of trying to tune it. I wouldn't be as worried if the motor was already broke in.

    I got the turbo mounted and the feed and drain lines routed. I also routed the charge pipes and ended up having to cut my valance a little but it fits now.

    I made a small adapter plate for my m50 tps and it is decent not pretty but works it's under the throttle body anyway so I wasn't worried about it.

    I got my gm air temp sensor installed I will post a picture of that later.
    I welded up a downpipe and welded the o2 sensor bung on so I could start tuning. Also one more thing to note don't buy the shitty glowshift wideband it is really wonky looks good but does not function properly. Also I have a pretty important question how would I tune the engine and make sure I don't mess something up? I need to break the engine in and it needs to run good to properly break it in. And tuning seems to be alot of trial and error. I was thinking if I throw the stock injectors in, plug the old ecu in, put the afm back on in line with the charge pipe and the old o2 sensor. Then just take the spring out of my Wastegate and run basically no boost to break the engine in? Would that work? I have a dyno tune scheduled for July 14 and I would rather have the engine broke in so when I get it dynoed for a boost tune it is broke in. Help me out guys.

    So I have been busy I have got alot done on my car lately.
    I painted some of my parts and was planning on hydro dipping them but that didn't go as planned so I just painted them


    I got my clutch and 60lb injectors installed.

    I bolted my trans on and dropped the engine in.

    I bought a new foglight to replace my busted one.


    After putting the engine in I hung my manifold on the put the turbo on to mock up my oil feed and drain.


    I got my pillar pod on and that was a bitch with all the wires behind it not to mention trying to route them in the tiny hole by the dash and the pillar and not pinch the boost line.

    A shitty picture.

    I also made a adapter plate to mount my megasquirt and routed the wires for the gauges. Where would You guys recommend to wire the switched power and the ground for the gauges? I was going to wire the unswitched power into the extra little fuse holder by the main fuse box.
