Every time I go through your thread I notice the things in the background more than your work. You have a lot of nice tools readily available.

Probably going to vinyl wrap my car instead of dipping it this time.
Do you remember what color blue you dipped your car? Was it the martian blue pearl?

I'm dipping a car next week for the 2nd time, so I'm still getting used to playing with all these mixtures.

The Car turned over but still have a lot to be done. Intercooler Piping, Fan Wiring, Exhaust and Battery relocation.

I went with a Mishimoto dual fan and a X-line radiator. The battery fits if you trims the tray but I am going to relocate the battery instead.

I got a 14lb competition fly wheel install and going to run a stock clutch for now until I go standalone. Here are some pics. I want to keep that plastic piece and went with a small intercooler, should be sufficient for now running 14lb.







Ordered a racetronix fan wiring kit. Next step is to figure out the exhaust.

I removed the TRAC motor, was wondering if this will cause a boost leak.

oh its you! lol hey dude, get rid of that inter-cooler right now.. lol you need a giant one.. that thing cant handle that much airflow you will literally suffocate the motor. it will run like ****.. i worked on an sc that had a bunch of weird problems and i kept telling the dude to get a bigger inter-cooler.. put on a bigger cooler, and it ran properly. that tiny inter-cooler is for a tiny gt28.

Following! Very nice build man! Question; are you going to stay with the single pump? How much power are you looking for?

Car ran good on stock ecu for a while. Been driving it around for 1000 miles. Ran like stock except for the boost creep on this eBay manifold. Did some porting which helpe but not much.

finally saved enough money to buy my infinity 6, the sensors, fuel system.

I used to really like BRZ's until a few years back I was doing some racing against a buddy of mine in our car club in my stock 1995 SC400 versus his stock BRZ and we were dead even. I thought for sure his lighter BRZ would edge out the boat of a stock SC400, but apparently not. Great build!
