Finally running after 9 months! (pics)

So, where do I start. Last year in June while getting my car tuned I found out that my twins were bad and shortly after i popped a coolant seal. Ever since last September, ive been saving up and buying parts andafter I finally got enough, I was off to Rotary Evolution in Yuba City so start the rebuild and single turbo conversion. Heres what was done:

-Rebuild with streetport
-Dowel pinned
-3mm apex seals
-single turbo conversion
-transmission rebuilt
-AEM methanol injection system
-HKS twin pwer
-supra tt fuel pump
-1600cc secondary injectors, Kg rail and fpr
-ugraded to ACT clutch and flywheel
-Asp large SMIC
-10 1/2 plugs
-10mm ignition wires
-deleted AC
-No airpump
-full 3" exhaust
-relocate battery
-greddy elbow and bov
-3 bar map sensor
-apexi pfc
-greddy oil catch can


Thats all i can think of off the top of my head. Right after the rebuild i drove from Yuba city to Los angeles in 1 day. Changing my oil when i got there of course. runs like a champ. Ive got a tune with steve kan this upcoming weekend! wish me luck

I just wanted to share my story with you guys, Questions, suggestion, opinions, comments recomendations welcome



let me know wat you think

Congrats! I just got my car done recently also. My brother helped me put it back together on weekends over the past year and all is well now. I didn't get to drive it in stock form but I'm sure it's a lot better now, lol. GL with your tune. What power goal are you shooting for?

Congrats. You might check out the thread on the air pump replacement idler. Something about front main bearing wear because of too much belt tension.
