Sc400 Single T70 Turbo and 5speed conversion =)
Hey Guys Sorry I havent had time for anything ive been really busy with school.. I decided to do the HG, when i began taking the engine apart i found oil in the water So the HG was definately the over heating problem my god its been some work lol.. Anyways once i had the heads off and were at the machine shop they seemed pretty warped.. but now theyre FLAT =).. and I Have a Set of Cometic 0.51" MLS which i plan to eaither spray paint with aluminum paint or Copper spray from Permatex and 10mm ARP Studs from Lextreme ready to install, Im waiting to borrow a torque wrench from a freind to start.. oh and ima go ahead and swap out the motor mounts now that its just a shortblock sitting in the car.. hope this set up holds up to 17ish psi??
(sorry to hear about your HG issue, hope it wraps up ok for you after this go-round)

"Sorry" to hear that. Lol! With 17psi you´re gonna have a weapon there Carlos! With a T88 on stock engine, Adam made 394rwkw. About 530hp at the crank. Insane. Maybe with the new power you´ll convince to keep it. Don´t you think? =)
BTW, I´ve ordered the F/IC without the harness. Would you please share with me your wiring diagram?
Kind regards and good luck with the new mods.

Carlos great build man, once you get all the kinks worked out she will be a beast!!
I have a few questions about the turbo you have. Is that an Ebay T70 and if so is it a T3 or a T4?
What are the specs compressor housing/turbine housing A/R.
Do you know the inducer/exducer on both wheels??
When do you hit full boost and how much psi ?
Who was the Ebay seller if this infact an Ebay turbo?
Once gain man

On the streets!!
got it running on 8psi at the moment gonna turn it up to 10 today 
we took it out to street tune it =) this was a 1st and 2nd gear pull i think it has the stock exhaust from the middle back all you can hear is the engine!! it whistles nice too i love hearing it spool.. we took it on the highway and raped a G35 on a 70 roll with a 3 car length advance that same night lol.. i need to open up the exhaust cause its running a bit hot like halfway to 3/4 i think because the stock system is causing back pressure on the turbo and that i need to vent my engine bay some how im thinking about adding a scoop under the engine to scoop up cold air and a flap near the rear of the engine like on aircraft they use Cowl flaps which pretty much produce like a venturi effect between the bottom of the car and the pavement creating a lower pressure and extracting the hot air... any comments?

Let me know if I understood. You are using the stock exhaust but only one side, right? Or you re-attached the exhaust in the middle?
The stock exhaust it´s very restricted for a stock engine, I thing you should change the system soon by allowing it to flow. And buy a better phone =)
