very very nice tuffy...keep up the good work
i can't wait to see your car done!

snakeloa, just take your time on the turbo afterall it is THE main part of the system but GT35R you can get for Price:$1,395.00 here in the US
then have it shipped to you if thats cheaper...

well i won't get it as cheap as that but i will get a full GT35R Kit made for my ST205 with Downpipe, flexible Recirc pipe, TIAL 40mm Wastegate, wastegate flange and all parts and bits for 3250 $ custommade.

my cusco twin plate is made by exedy for cusco. it has ceramatic discs. this twin plates can handle 500 to 750 bhp at crank. for more triple plate is required.

wow... very nice tufy.. reassemble everything and put the motor back where it came from..

re ismet maybe is not good enough....

>>>>I WANT TO DRIVE UR CAR>>>> plz plz plz plz

dont maybe me i am not going to brake it....

hey man your cars is going to be the bomb, but remeber the horse isn't always the beast the driver is.500hp is good, but the driver better be better then the car.. cool bro word if of a advise...

I can only imagine how sharp this clutch will be and how much paint it will give you if you gonna street drive your car Tuff I did test drive of the EVO8 with 450 Hp and using almoost the same unit as a clutch and i stalled like 5-7 times... But once you add revs and drop the clutch its a heaven

Good luck, cant wait to see it on the road again..

yesterday they instaled clutch

now thats pretty

Looks like the build is progressing well. However, one of two little things concern me. You say you are after 500whp - just wondering if you are really expecting that amount. I honestly would be surprised if your engine will last with that sort of power thrown at it. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to put your efforts down, just that I know what it's like to put a lot of time, effort and $ into an engine rebuild.
For starters, 9.0:1 CR, even with a thicker HG is potentially asking for major problems at higher boost levels. Water / methanol injection would certainly help stave off any potential detonation, but given the boost level which would be required to see 500whp, I doubt that it would cope.
Also, with such a large turbo, it would be extremely laggy on the road - unless I've missed the point and it's going to be a drag car Max boost at 4300rpm isn't something I could live with every day.
272 deg cams are pretty wild. Good luck with getting it to idle
Also, are you fitting an oil cooler? The stock item will not cope with 500whp full stop - especially in a climate like yours. I'm looking at around 320whp and even for that I'm going to be fitting one. AS for rad, as uzthedentist says, the Pace unit is nowhere near as good as the Koyo one. And Koyo is cheaper.
Good luck with the build, but remember that even a custom built motor has its limits and you really need to think carefully about what you are doing if you want it to last
Cheers

Ä° Have 0.5 MM oversize pistons that will reduce CR a little. i am using 1.2 head hks gasget. didn't measured CR yet. you are right about detonation, the imporant think is tunning. with higher CR you can go same hp numbers with lower boost
we are planning to make fine adjustments with adj. cam gears and fix idle proplem.
if you want big power you should look for it at higher rpms.

i didn't know you were at the army. good luck with the build. i believe in you.

if turbo lag is the case for high boost is it feasible to go tt

>


doubt it.

full boost at 4300rpms and turbo lag = good daily driver gas mileage. theres a few guys running gt35s and gt30s on 2zz-gtes and making 400+ FWHP, and no oil cooler im sure he will be fine, the 2zz puts out way more heat in lift than the 3s could ever think of.

finally engine is on the car. now is time to start for custom made manifold. still there is so much work on car like hoses new i.c. piping, oil catch tank, relocating battery under passenger seat.

Nice Man The engine cover looks pretty shine

Yeah, and that's about it. What the heck happen to all them pretty parts you had on it? It even looks like it's got oil all over it. Was there an accident or something? hp is all that matters anyway, and I'm sure this thing will have it's fair share of it.

I'm surpised that you haven't renewed the heat sleeve on the oil cooler water line. Given its close proximity to the turbo, it is at risk from being damaged by radiant heat. You wouldn't want that pipe to split etc

I used some new heat reflective sleeving on mine to ensure it will last...

I thought the new evo8 was listed at 400 hp?
