Default My SC300 weekend/trackday car

Finally getting around to getting some pictures up of my SC300. Its been a little project of mine and has had a few different setups, turbos, motors, etc.

I own a shop so my time is very limited and had to work on it in small stages, from machining to paint, to wire tucking, engine build, welding/fabbing, tuning, all done in house.

setup consists of:

JE forged pistons-coated by swaintech
Manley Rods
264 camshafts
Ebay intake manifold, ported and matched
BC springs and retainers
fluidamper pulley
TH400 swap
PTC 4100 converter
Turbonetics ported and thermal coated manifold
SP QSV valve
BW S300sx91 turbo
4in downpipe
4in aluminum exhaust
DSS driveshaft
fidanza cam gears
AEM V1
mil spec Chasebays harness for 2J

thanks guys, weve done some short track testing and right now its faster than any other previous setup weve had in it and this is with no nitrous. we should be adding in the nitrous and setting it up in the aem to see if we can get even better.

Im looking for a little bit better LSD setup. anyone have any input on the KAAZ? I can get my hands on an auto TT but from looking its still a torsen LSD which probably wont work well for me. Im currently rocking an SC400 that I welded

Very nice set up and clean engine bay. How much power are you putting down?
