Thanks!
Ya, the BRZ is a fun car, the steering is pretty good. I would say (steeringwise) the SC is on par if all the bushings are replaced. Its the high ratio rack that makes it feel less sporty. 17.5 to 1. Newer cars have much lower ratio so it feels sportier.
I actually love my SC's steering more than my ISF.

Bought the magnafuel an to npt fitting for the Fuel pressure sensor but turns out it leaks. This was due to the magnafuel fitting was too tall and the orb isn't secure against the fpr.

I wired in the flex signal and the mac valve. More updates when I get my pfte lines from racetronix.

Going to mount the flex sensor and filter in the trunk.

Syncing the timing. Wire #26a3 from autozone.
Thanks for the heads up mr Pirooz




More pics of fuel system coming up. One slight issue I encountered is that my flex fuel sensor isn't giving any signal to the infinity 6. I am sure I wired it correctly. Either 91 I had in the tank has 0% ethanol or bad sensor.

Got the fuel system done. I went with a -8an bulkhead fitting. It was a pain to get it to fit on the vent cover.
I've been doing some street tuning. Setting up up the fuel is pretty easy on the Infinity. Not messing with the timing until I can get it on a dyno.
Ive encountered some weird issue. The speedo is now wavering. It did not have that issue before.
Car overheated to 220F in 110F weather. I dont think this is the fan because I am getting that temp on the freeway. I don't think I have enough room to go back to the clutch fan. Maybe bad water pump? The car holds temp at idle and I already bleed the system.

Really like how you've outfitted your SC. Got a number of neat stuff going on and it's well executed all around.

Thank you. I need to figure out how to take out the axles next, doesn't look fun. I will try to post more pictures after I am done with this special project on the Diff.

Probably not going to use the sticker.

Going to mess with the setting after this month. Setting one probably 20psi, setting two 30psi with more aggressive timing. Setting 3-4 maybe for 2 step and launch rpm.

Moment of truth. Took my car to my tuner. 584whp @ 25psi. Superflow dyno. Huge thank you to Lawrence for tuning and the whole NorCal supra crew and clublexus members for the continuous support.

This is on the stock cat back with a 60mm turbo on e85.

Was amazed the engine I amateurly built held up.

Congratulations on the numbers! It was pretty cool to follow your build up until the point of seeing the dyno numbers.
