So the car is still doing great... Still touches 12s on street tires and has yet to give me any guff. Its really nice having the holset back on it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=knv1KYvhZiQ I threw a new comp wheel on since the other one was chipped, other than that this thing hasnt really...

The key to engine immortality if you dont break anything, thats what it is. Mine is a 2 qt, they are worth every penny. You can see it up front here

Nice to see this one still going on its course. I would strongly recommend an accusump for the oil system on the new build. I have 5 years on my 7M, I tore into it last year due to ringland issues, and I went ahead and checked the bearings. They looked fantastic! 7Ms seem to be pretty bad on dry...

Still not satisfied? Me neither. So first off, I didnt realize it but broke a spring hat so threw another one in. Then I did some work on a friends 7M head. As it turns out he bought all of my old holset stuff except for the turbo, and he wanted to go a different path. So he paid me in some...

Made some things better on this guy the other day. I knew beforehand that using a step drill was iffy for the tie rod taper, so I got the reamer and did it more correctly. Had to replace a castle nut and retap the threads on one side. So this is the before After Whats up everyone? Been a...

The drift day went absolutely awesome. Drove there, drifted for literally 12 hours, from 11am-11:30pm, and drove home. Went through $10 in gas, about 8 tires. My buddy got bit by the drift bug and believe it or not, drifted his auto, chevy 1/2 ton truck. So I was able to split up my time riding...

More things!! So this is something I have been putting off for a very long time...Its similar to the shot struts I was riding on for years, until I finally tackled it. It cost basically nothing except a whole day at the shop, and it totally transformed the car. Trying to throw this thing around...

Did a few more winter cup drift comps. Slayed some tires, getting better, still on stock angle (boooo) The 7M is still a rock. The track had a little bit of mud, got a little slick, and I had a few off track journeys lol. Here are the results The struts didnt have a lot of dampening after a...

So, after holding onto the R154 from this swap for what....5 years? I decided the W58s are workin great for me and I might as well make some cash. I picked it up for $150 back in the day, I was offered $850 for it provided I drove the 3 hrs to deliver. Got her all cleaned up and together Hit...

So tonight first thing was fixing the exhaust cutout. Then I went to work on the caster. I went ahead and added all the caster I could, then evened them up to both sides. It no longer pulls to the left, and feels pretty good so far. Short answer for why more caster is a good thing besides it...

Yeah its becoming a book lol glad you enjoyed it. So here is whats been on my mind on all these past suspension mods This is my royally fucked alignment specs when the suspension was stock and where I have been concentrating on mostly. The only thing that was able to be fixed with this...

but the holset hadnt even seen boost yet! They thrive at 30+ :) keep it up!

So I had plans of putting slicks on the car, giving it one last herah at the track, then going back to a stock turbo...The clutch was starting to slip on super quick shifts with the spool up, and I was gonna try putting the car up for sale, and I didnt want a car that spins 3rd gear on dry roads...

Here's the head/gasket, visually they don't look too bad, I'm gonna investigate the bores a bit more, although it didn't drive like rings, I guess it's possible. Notice the oil on cyl 6.

Ran my 7M for years, shes been good, friend drove it, forgot to tell him where the cooling fan was before we got to the track, it got hot momentarily. It ran absolutely fine that night after cooling, but showed signs of a pressurized crankcase (blowing out the valve cover breathers) much more...

Somewhat.... Im the type thats never happy.... if some hp is good then more is always better right? Thanks man! Surprised since its just wastegate pressure which BARELY doesnt hit fuel cut... no slicks, these are my 245/45/17s I daily on, Id love to try some slicks and hook up for a change...

So first thing this go around was.... getting rid of my fuel situation. Having an inline pump, and no pickup sock, I resorted to an inline coarse filter before the pump, which would clog about ONCE A WEEK, and had to service it, pump was super noisy except the day it was cleaned. Got an 84 tank...

And todays update is all about....SPOOL. This first holset setup was throwing things on, and seeing how it went. Now this time everything is refined... First was going from a 18.5cm housing to a 12cm, that I got for $60 :) Then, on the T3-T4 adapter, going to twin scroll, and welding in a...

Wellllll....good news is nothing broke, and I made pretty decent power, bad news is my slicks I got are shit! Never hooked all night, got my best 60 ft on the street tires I came in on....Camaro beat me by over a full second, yes I out trapped and was closing in but it was really no contest when...

Supposedly this MAFT has a FCD built in, which maybe its doing something, because I was able to see boost fall off before any fuel cut on the stock CT at like 15 psi, and this one is doing 14 psi before it hits it occasionally, but its not like MAFT Pro where I can set a clamp and all that good...
