purple injector is turbo, high resistance

so you are good,

just make sure the resistor pack is eliminated properly and power transfered to the injector plug.

make sure you crank it with out the injector fuse a bit so you can build oil pressure
then after that is done pop the fuse bcak in and push start it

i was wondering if you kept the TII trans/drive train throughout the whole swap...Turbo, back to na, now back to turbo... cause im planning my swap, and if you kept your TII trans/diff when you had the n/a in there maybe i could start from there on up.. if so, what did you have to do for it all to work with the n/a?

yeah i kept the turbo 2 drivetrain setup the whole time, but recently I wanted more lock on my diff so I took out my t2 diff and halfshafts and welded my open diff laying around and swapped it in with the halfshafts. As far as the driveshaft, it is still t2, I modded the t2 driveshaft to fit a NA diff, and can still fit a t2 diff.
My Na was weak with the turbo drivetrain setup.. I think cause the t2 drivetrain is beefier than NAs=more rotating mass..

well as of now, its t2 tranny, t2 driveshaft, NA welded diff, and na halfshafts..
Ive heard from my friend saying drifters can push up to 300 hp on stock halfshafts np.

If your guna use a NA motor with t2 drivetrain, Youll need to swap a t2 flywheel on ur NA motor, get aimpact gun to remove teh flywheel nut, swap the flywheels..It has to be a t2 flywheel to fit in a t2 tranny.

The paint was color matched with OMNI brand paint ,I think its also from PPG? But yeah its the cheapest paint you can buy in paint stores that works well. Instead of reducer, I used Acetone to mix it 1:1 [acetone is cheaper than reducer and works fine] The clear is A New European brand called UPOLV, its like $80 a gallon. My gun is 10 year old Devilbliss....I miss my anest Iwata.... I still need to get the waterborn adpaters...to convert my gun... I have 4 cheap homedepot water traps hooked up to my compressor...
