Sweet build! I would definitely recommend some cams to compliment the big turbo and high rev valvetrain! What will you be using to tune?

Forgot to mention car has been tuned on dsmlink v2 and will add cams long with a build tranny this comming summer.

Have run 17psi on the 14b with stock fuel system when i put the new turbo in with the new injectors will be running 25 26 daily and about 30-35 at the track.

 

[toofast82]

are you going to be running e85 on the street? I would definitely recommend cams and probably a smim to get the most out of your turbo. it should be a damn fast car though, nice build

I will be adding brian crower cams and when it comes to the smim i dont think i need one yat i hope to get some good numbers out of the car dough alot of money into it and probably wount be running e85 on street car should run fine at 25 psi on 93 octane with octane booster.

I no its not the nicest 2g around but deffenetly alot nicer then when bought and a work in progress.

Also i wanted to ask you guys what kinda power you think that engine can hold.

 

[toofast82]

Looks like you have all the bases covered on the engine, so it should be pretty strong, with a good tune obviously. Car looks great with the paint scheme!
