Lol the gtr is my garage buddy's. Her ex bf brought it to a dealership after friend of his dumped some coolant into it without some kind of relief that the 26's have. idk about them. anyways blew a frost plug and brought it to a dealership, the car over heated several times on the way back from there and they have no idea what ever went wrong, didnt ever look into fixing it. just sits there not for sale haha.

You think so ? All the research I've seen kelfords show the best results, I heard jwt s1's lose significantly more low end.

The idle will sound great is what I mean, injectors you might have to do 1000cc for that amount of power.

yea i gotcha, was just going right off topic i guess haha. i was pretty sure id have to go bigger than 740 for my goals. things just went furthur and further with the build and now its capable of more than i origionally planned.
everyone likes a mean sounding idle :) . i cant wait to start her up.

Yes, I'll post a picture I found online, but yeah they are pricey but they are sold with the exhaust housing and are better for power and spool. The difference in compressor wheels are insane to the naked eye

Update
I decided to use stock s13 cams for now so I can swap in the 272's later on mainly to feel the difference each time rather than start with expensive 272's and never see the gains, for the same reason im starting with the stock intake too.

Anyways back on topic today I was installing cams and my torque wrench doesnt adjust as low as it claims. I broke off a cam bolt in the head. Lucky the easy out bit worked very well and called it a day at that. Next is to install the intake manifold and get an exhaust mani on order ! So excited to go back to work tomorrow. It was a long 5 weeks being laid off !

I also bought another s13 parts car ! ..i always wanted to try a supercharger ...
Happy new year everyone hope xmas treated you well
