"Successfully" reverted from Turbo to NA

Long story short everything turbo related that gets hot snapped, cracked, or seized so I pulled all the junk off and replaced it all with an NA enthalpy tune (so i could keep z32 maf) and an isr header. Tested it and to my surprise it ran very well minus a few vaacum leaks that got taken care of qui...

Re: List of Build Parts for my future KA-T(500-650hp goal)

Another thing you may want to think about is cooling. Everybody tells you how fun turbo is but nobody tells you about how damn hot it makes everything. A small oil cooler would definitely assist any aluminum rad/fan setup you have (especially if you live in the south). Personally, I found it necessa...

Re: ***New Xcessive oil pan***

I called Xcessive right after I posted this and they seemed to agree.

That's the only time I ever see it. Maybe bad valve stem seals...

Re: ***New Xcessive oil pan***

Quick question. Just installed the xcessive pan with the sr20 sump as pictured on their website. My shop seems to think that the oil level should be higher than the high mark on the dipstick and I'm trying to tell them that doesn't make sense. Yes the pan holds more oil but because it is larger and ...

The picture posted above is exactly where my turbo sits as well. It seems like the only real solution is to redo my manifold and dp setup or brake booster delete.

Despite the heat prevention efforts, the turbo is still really close to the br...

Ultimately it's up to you. Although I think the GT30 would be a better choice for what you're trying to achieve. Not to mention you said your bottom end is already built so it can take the abuse. If I were spending $1300 on a turbo, I don't think the GT28 would even be on my option list. Not that it...

What did you guys do as far as the wiring goes for the E2448 pump since the s14 harness won't fit on it?

Enthalpy is great. I have one of their tunes as well and from day 1 I had no issues. I thought I did so I called them and they helped me work through MAF issues not related to their ECU and it got my car running. Perfect idle from the very second I plugged it in even with the wrong fuel.
