Thanks Brian, I would like to hear more about your project for sure!!

This has been a really cool project. I have thought of using 272 cams(I've been looking).
They seem to be a rare in a used form. New all day long for 300-550$. I will keep looking

Also I was looking into the cyclone intake, They are a little hard to come by. I was looking into the sheet metal evo 3 setup, because the TB is in the correct location and no mods are really needed. I really like input if anyone has tested one. I want to make good Torque numbers down below 2500 RPM so the intake is important.
As for the ecu I wasn't to worried about boost control at this point. I do have a sweet manual setup now that works really well. Having all the data at my finger tips will help me really dial this thing in. I bought a nice 10.1 led laptop just for this setup. I will be able to tune anywhere I go <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
Speaking of that, I will post a bench top Ecu flashing setup Soon. Thanks again for your input it is really appreciated.


I was looking around utube today and found this gem.
This thing is a beast!

So I test fit the mods on the intake, really happy that I went with the 1st gen.
I ordered gaskets for the intake(2) because im using a Phenolic Intake Spacer to keep the temps down on the charged air.
What do you guys think??

I like it. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> the DOHC looks so cool on there. Since I'm fairly sure that I'm going the 4g64\63 route, I'm watching your thread closely. Hurry up and finish so you can tell me, I mean us, how it does <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Thanks! I love the way it looks in there too! Everything is going together just the way I want it to. I should have my brand new exhaust manifold early this week. I want to install my turbo so I can get the Evo8 Maf/air filter and turbo tube done. I am looking at aftermarket IC's to see what the biggest one I can stuff up front <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I plan on a full custom tube bumper so I should make enough room for sure. There is a lot of planning involved in this project not including the major $ investment.
With the custom adapted 5 speed this thing should be a lot of fun to drive.

I have a Cyclone intake if you need one ..Its had the closed end milled open and a cover cap made ....I was going to use it on a rwd swap ...Thanks

im interested for sure! I will PM you my info.

So I test fit the Evo8 maf and turbo intake. will have plenty of room for IC tubes <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />




The FP racing exhaust manifold was on sale for 175$ regular 275$. Should be here Tuesday I cant wait!

Hi guys, so my new FB exhaust manifold came in. All I can say is wow. What a difference!!
I hope the pictures are not to big!

I referred your turbo rebuild service to a gent on Pirate. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />
