        Freaking sweet! Just rebuilt my motor and getting ready for a turbo setup. Stock internals/head/oring/stock headgasket. Will probably build the head down the road when I get more funds, but I love the face your pushing 18psi on stock headgasket haha.

              sweet car btw. makes me wanna skip the 24v route and turbo muh bish
              its crazy, right after i bought mine i saw the cockpit one. oh well, i will be less tempted to turn it up anymore this way.

                Makes me feel like a weenie to have a s50 swap. Maybe I should sell it and build my m20 for boost. Lol.

                    Peopleb who drive swapped cars just don't get it. How do you like the turbo cam. This is the first I've ever heard of someone using it. Now that you corrected the plugs and boost controller does the power hold till redline? What's it set at? My goal is to break 500whp and 7500rpm by the summer.

                      why did you mount the inter cooler so close to the radiator?

                          honestly, when i installed the cam i also changed my turbo and a couple other things, so i dont have a direct comparison. but when i compare my dyno graph with others, i notice a difference with my torque curve. vac also claims a faster boosting motor and it holds till redline. imo its worth it. honestly i regret not getting the more agressive grind. but when i talked to a rep from vac he said i might have valve/piston contact and might need to deepen the valve reflifs or get aftermarket pistons, so i decided against it. oh well, next revision ;)

                          after i installed the new plugs and boost controller, i actually had it set at 22psi for a while. 3rd gear pull on the highway with drag radials is unexplainable. i literally had to hold my breath from the rush while i was pulling. now the boost is back at 18psi. car pulls really good till redline and seems to be faster, but honestly that means nothing till i get it on a dyno again. with temps in the 30's, i have traction problems in 3 gears and it makes a hairy ride. i cant really go past half throttle. i plan on going back to the dyno when i get a chance in the coming weeks to get a couple baselines and keep raising the boost. my plan is about 500 wheel.

                              where else would i have put it lol?? it has like a two inch air gap between the two. i have cool air charge and no problems at all with overheating, needle never goes past half.
