Default Took a break from my SC300

Since my 1JZ swap has gone so well, I've decided to start back up on my other project...my FD...just got the intercooler done:



The engine bay is pretty dirty but she's my track ***** so you won't see a lot of bling. But then again, now that I've got a shiny Greddy elbow, I'm gonna have to polish up the manifold.

Now with this done, time to chase down 500 at the wheels. Hopefully I won't have to sacrifice any apex seals to reach that.

LOL I thought I posted this in the Photo section, but posted it in the SC section and it got moved...hehe...

I haven't dyno'd the car yet so I don't know how much power I have. I used to have a FC that dyno'd 398 at the rear wheels. With my stock intercooler and conservative tuning, this FD was faster than that car.

Right now my wastegate is giving me issues. I have a 10 psi spring and set my boost controller to 12, but it likes to spike at 19 on the freeway. Once I get this sorted out then I can dyno it and see where I'm at.
