Intalled the 14b and L19 studs ... Everything is going great, I use the car everyday to get to work and it's awesome to drive. Steering wheel is straight and feeling like a go cart. I can feel everything on the road and it's just what I wanted. I like it a lot !

About to get ready to go on the dyno to know what I'm pushing but got some little thing to finish before. Like machine some shifter bushing before the plastic one let on me 30 minutes ago and now shifter is sloppy as hell.

Don't know why they only sell the brass one for the 1990 but I'll machine some tomorow for my 1991 and share dimensions with you guys.

Now some pics of the turbo rebuild ...

Fab some bushing yesterday for the shifter shaft and they are awesome, I'll post some pics later today ...

This morning my Turbo decided to blow ... Lost all power and there was smoke coming out of the exhaust. Not sure if it's the HG but I suppose it's the turbo since I lost all power going WOT boosting around 30psi.

Here's my new setup ... Haven't start the car yet since I finished last sunday and it's been crazy at the shop. I plan to hit the dyno this time ...

Gasket was shot so I putted a new oem 4 layers, fit way better than the MrCopper one I had for spare.

Decided to go with the FP Black, putted braided line for the coolant. I had to stack 3 copper washer on the rear of the turbo to use a banjo or the hose end wasn't clearing the chra. You'll see in the pics ;)

Now I think I'll need a meth kit since there's no E85 here, only 94 octane. Do you guys have any kit to suggest ?
 
Thanks iugrad92turbo :)

Sure Antony just send me your assembly and I'll do my best for you brother. Maybe I'll give Ziggy a call today about the meth ... I'm not that sure I'll need one since my air was already f*ing cold with my 5" IC ... Will see what he has to say :)

It's rare to see this level of attention to detail in a build. I can appreciate all the little things that come together and make your build stand out. It's also nice to see people starting awesome projects, and actually finishing them. All too often I see nice builds like this start off strong, only to never be updated again.

Great work :applause:

You should really consider creating a DSM profile to share information about your car. Your build with then show in your signature, so it gets more visability, and people can associate you with your work. It's also a great way to get feedback, and let people know what's going on with the car quickly at a glance: http://www.dsmtuners.com/dsm-profiles/add

You could probably get a moderator to move all of the build info in this thread to your DSM profile after you create one.
