Come on man, we all know by the time that picture is posted he's already pulled the exhaust manifold off, sold it, bought a new turbo, and swapped another intake manifold on it.
It's always broken.

Engine after (almost done!)

Turbo needs to be re clocked to face down and I'm still debating on whether to set the maf up as draw through or blow through.


Parts List
Master Power t3/t4 50 trim (.48 a/r)
Ebay top mount manifold
Tial sports 38 mm wastegate w/ 8ps spring
Greddy rs bov
3" custom downpipe
2 1/2" IC piping with 24x12x3 front mount
Z32 maf
Sti yellow 550 cc injectors
MBC

Emance ecu (Not anymore, decided to cough over the cash for a real Enthalpy tune)

I plan on running between 11 and 13 psi and hope to make at least 300 whp.

Thanks guys. It will look better in my next upload. Even that pic is out of date now.
And after a weekend of dirt drops/sliding off track it could use some clean up.

Is that an hx40? I want to run that on a 2j as well, when do you hit full boost by with it? Got any estimate of hp/ trap speed? Nice setup.

When do you hit full boost? Hx35 is small, but not THAT much smaller. Im just going with the hx40 because im gonna build a mani with a t4 flange. I bet that thing is really responsive on the 2j. Good trap too esp on 9psi. Thanks for the info man.

i get the 9psi @ roughly 3k, dont know exactly because i am always paying attention to the road lol and not the tach. since I ditched the twins i wanted an hx40 but could not find one locally so I ended up getting that hx35. Im going to run it until its max efficiency for a while and then i am going to upgrade to a s372.
