Re: JDM Import Rev 2 Turbo - 5SGTE build
Well i picked up my 5S block/crank last week. Started stripping it. apart from being covered in grime/oil/cobwebs its stock/solid, so I'm more than happy: https://i.imgur.com/IMMImYq.jpg https://i.imgur.com/v7fKWf4.jpg https://i.imgur.com/GcBk3jQ.jpg https://i.imgur.com/qZNSaKo.jpg https://i.imgur.c...

Re: Dyno results. 420@ the hubs.
Made 354lbs. Ah yeah I am very tempted by a boot mount!! Saves a lot of f*cking about. I've done absolutely nothing to the car lately. It's sat at my friends garage :( I'd sell it today if it was 100% sorted but it needs some work and I'd be costing myself a lot by not sorting the issues first. Nam...

Re: JDM Import Rev 2 Turbo - Megasquirt install. Anti lag. 2 step.
Oh wow man! Yeah 18psi on a ct20 is just too much. At that pressure it just blowing roasting hot air into a 20+ year old engine. Something has to give at some point I guess eh? To be completely truthful if I was to do my build again I'd probably just stick forged pistons in it, Go with a TD05 turbo...

Re: Dyno results. 420@ the hubs.
Yeah 29psi. CR is 9:01 (although sure it's 8:5 with a 1.2mm head gasket) The issue has been not retorquing the head bolts. I did check the torque after running it in but forgot to check it after being mapped and running full boost. Lesson learned! That's the engine back in with new head gasket and ...
