cool, figuring out oil feed now. PO tapped the feed block NPT and used teflon to seal 0_o. Thinking ill get a new distributor block, AN banjo for feed one side and plumb an oil pressure sender in the other. Also welding up the coolant lines to delete aux pump.

Motor together, preparing to weld up exhaust manifolds.
Question: At what point are the stock fuel rails/ FPR no longer valid?

decided to just go with stock fuel rails/fpr for now. Milled .151" off the manifold so the injectors seat nicely.
waiting on pipe for manifolds.

I'm just saying, it might be a good idea to drive something similar to what you're building in advance to make sure it's going to drive the way you want. I enjoy my K03 tuned car a lot more than this 500 hp ST...At least on the street. Good example is that 1200 hp 16v turbo (Boba). It's only good in a straight line on the expressway at speeds that will land you in jail, or kill you, and making cool youtube videos. I have mad respect for their build, but I personally don't think the car would be fun to drive most of the time.
I know I'm late to the party, but I agree. Not a huge fan of gigantic lag monsters. If I wanted that i'd build a supra or an old GT-R The beauty of the 2.7t is good power (400-500whp) with very low lag and usable torque band. It is very rare for displacements that small. To each his own though. |

I hate it when you pop up and make sense and shit, SHHHH we want to build dumb big turbos and silly unusable power in a very small power band. But we will be smiling big on the highway driving straight. |

Oh well, there are also people that use this turbo on 2.0 displacement. He will totally slay them in the corners too  I appreciate all build efforts, and the 2.7t will still push better out side of spool than a smaller engine. Go for it  |

Well I continue to learn more about tig welding. Was welding up the new manifolds today randomly the weld would just turn to shit and start spraying like i was stick welding. Could not figure it out. I cut the parts off, re-cut, re-ground, re-cleaned so many times. Gas flow check, purge check. BAM randomly it would happen again. Then I was so frustrated with the events i smashed the pyrex cup on my torch. I did figure it out. Long story short, don't weld with the door open when its breezy  On the single vs twins. I agree lower spool more area under the curve faster car, however; for me I have always wanted a big single car(that's relative). Car came with a Single on it already so a lot of the provisions to have twins are removed and it is now cost prohibitive to have them over the single. I do appreciate the input though and I really have considered it several times, and still am. I'll probably end up unhappy, c'est la vie. |
