Seats and harness bar installed! Unfortunately the Takata harnesses are on back order, so those won't be in the car for roughly another week. What's your opinion on the black seats with brown interior? I think it doesn't look too bad. The future holds a black interior for the car however, for now I think it looks alright. Gauges are installed with Autometer carbon fiber pods. Gauges from top to bottom are, wideband AFR, oil pressure, and boost/vacuum.

The black and brown look good together man, call me crazy but I honestly like all colors of SC interior. The harness bar looks cool too, I guess i missed it but what brand is it?

Thanks man! The harness bar is made by Cipher auto. They were the only brand I could find that made one for the SC. I don't recommend them though, it came scratched, little bits rusted, and most of the hardware didn't fit.

Update! Custom MoFab coolant reservoir installed at the middle of the radiator and the upper radiator hose got swapped in favor of a hard pipe. Just like that the engine bay is done! Takata harnesses will be installed tomorrow and tuning on Friday! Going for 600, shouldn't be an issue.

OK here's the news from today's tuning session. 10 psi made 457 whp and 415 wtq. 15 psi made 536 whp and 487 wtq. Unfortunately we overlooked the MAP sensor and it limited the car to around 536. I ordered a AEM 3.5bar MAP sensor and the car will be getting retuned this upcoming Thursday. I came for 600+ and I'm gonna get it!!!

thanks for sharing your results, i have the same turbo going on my SC300 and i am curious to see how the turbo performs rpm wise...could you share a pic of the entire dyno graph showing the rpm band so we could see how she spools. great numbers for only 15psi !

No problem man. Yea I can definitely get a full picture showing the rpm. I'm definitely impressed by the 15 psi numbers haha.
