Why do you wish you had a stock frame turbo?
the FP's get real good reviews and they can make just as much power as my t3/t4. The down side is a new FP is almost 2g's where as my 55/57 PTE is $800 brand new.
I got my BBK full for a little over your PTE cost and I just love the crazy fast spool it has for a turbo capable of 450whp. Guess it all depends on what your want and the budget that you set.
Ive looked at the prices for the bbk's and there almost 2 1/2 times the price of my pte so you must of got a hell of a deal. Either way you got an awesome turbo!!
Yeah it was an amazing deal 900 with anti surge cover. Turbo was only on for 3000 miles
0-100 pull up a hill

Love it! I'm sure the "1" fell off on the left side of the speed limit sign =P
Sounds awesome! I can't wait to build the eclipse with the 4g64.
Nice, looks mean on the way back down
looks like some torque steer as you go up the hill, have you taking it to the track with the new turbo yet?
not yet season is over here unfortunately because it pretty much rains all the time, there is some torque steer but its not too bad, boost increases per gear so it actually is the worst right when I shift into 4th but its manageable on summer tires. Car is on all seasons on the street so its a bit more squirelly. I plan to rebuild the tranny with stronger synchros and new bearings all around its starting to feel a bit tired.

New knob a friend made. I can have more made if interested feels amazing.
You can reach your radio now by resting it on the knob

Its actually quite perfect, I barely have to move my hand from the steering wheel to reach the shifter and the knob is very ergonomically shaped
What does it weigh? and how much did that run you to have him make it? or was did he just make it for you for free?
:D
Its a 3D printed prototype, the production versions will be made out of Delrin and will be somewhere in the range of $150 for the first run, the more that are made the cheaper they will be.
What car quick release and steering wheel you go with I'm looking into getting one
Cool dealQuote:

Quick release is NRG. Steering wheel is a Personal Grinta suede 350mm
Replaced the coilpack on this sucker and took it for a drive to make sure all the readiness checks were in order so we visited council crest and then wandered through downtown and hit Washington park before dropping her back off.

Im digging the 2nd pic the most
That master cylinder make any improvement?
4-3-1-2-5.
The order im digging the pics, 4 being my fav.

The master cylinder did indeed help quite a bit. I think I'll still be rebuilding the trans this winter since it's making sad noises from the abuse. Car absolutely rips in the sub 20 degree weather we've been having.
^^Hell yeah, turbo + cold ass air is like my fat ass in a mickey D's drive thru with no line.... "I'm lovin' it!"

Damn Greddy. The G is looking amazing. You definitely made that OZ lip work. I didn't like it at first to be honest, and other peoples still look jacked up. But yours just fits... scratches and all. And I know you've had it for awhile, but that paint job on the hood is sick. Great looking car man.
Thanks man means a lot. The key was to form it to the bumper and do some trimming before having it wrapped in carbon. It gets beat up a lot I drive the car 80 miles a day and park downtown when I'm at court and it just takes a beating to be honest. I'm happy with her honestly I only have minor projects left on her I don't see anything drastic coming along other than perhaps building a motor to see what the BBK can really do on a 2.4. I think I'll be staying SOHC tregardless though.
Loving the graph!

Damn 21psi and thats stock block! Awesome job whens your first track event this year? That car is gonna haul ass!!
when are you going to build the motor? Or are you just going to enjoy it this way for a while?
Ha. All the tards on club3g who think they own the stock block record would shit themselves if they saw that sheet. Good fucking work.
Wondering if thats still on pump gas?

i bet so
I have no plans to build the motor whatsoever, if it breaks, Ill buy another 400 dollar 4g64 from a junkyard, drop the pan, replace the bearings, check compression, swap over my shit, and go for it again, this motor is low mileage and I just compression tested it 2 days ago after a summers worth of beating on it and it was perfection across the board, literally 180 across the board, my intent is to enjoy it the way it is, probably pull the turbo and port the exhaust housing to prevent the boost creeping. If you look at the boost plot you can see that the boost stays right around 16 like my previous tune until about 4800 where it starts to creep. Ive been working pretty closely with the guys at English Racing seeing as Im really the only SOHC motor guy running around here and Aaron (john bradley on most forums) who I trust with any car says the tune is safe, no knock, AFRs are very very safe with plenty of fuel up top, the power curve is slightly more linear now as well, the torque doesnt hit quite as hard down low as it used to which was intentional, the purpose of which was to make the car easier to drive and easier on the tires, since the car spends a lot of time in the upper RPM range when its in boost, it suits me perfectly and is less of a shock on the drivetrain parts. I dont know what the stock block record is but I had no intent in shooting for it. Car is on pump gas 92 and will stay that way since it is driven 80 miles a day minimum pretty much every day. Also, the only difference between the previous setup is I went from an OEM evo 8 intake with MAP and recirculating evo 8 BPV to a custom Speed Density intake and a vent to atmosphere evo 8 blow off valve.
Hope I addressed all questions.
I love your build. I have been toying the idea of staying sohc but not fully decided yet. Not looking for huge numbers, just something that will keep me entertained. So don't be surprised if I have questions for you in the future.

Easiest way is stock evo bits everywhere super simple and relatively cheap.
