kingkarl 136 Report post Posted March 16, 2010 Wow, that's crazy. So many skilled fabricators popping up on BS at the moment. I'm a noob, but that turbo looks pretty massive. What's your power goal? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looks to be a tidier transplant than mine Looking forward to seeing the final result. From a s14 silvia black top sr20det it came with this goodies - polished oem pistons with new ring sets -shotpeened oem rods with ARP studs -ACL race series big end and main bearings -polished crankshaft -3 layer steel headgasket. -3 way valve cut on in and ex valves -new front and rear main seals Turbo is master power has been modified so it would spool much faster Edited March 17, 2010 by shaQ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
