hey man I was wondering if you could tell me why this build was so bad?? I am currently building a sohc turbo setup and want to know what it was that made your experience so negative. Thanks!
it had a 2.5" intake charge pipe instead of 3" which choked my turbo hardcore, i was running a hard 90* bend right at the beginning of the downpipe which turned it into like a 2" instead of 2.5" also choking the turbo, after about 14psi the spark kept getting blown out by the boost because the distributor was a cheap off brand ebay one... and! it was just a poorly put together motor (firsts are learning experience)
this build was awful im lucky it made 285, i had a 100+ degree bend 4" off the turbo with a 2.5" exhaust, choked the hell out of the turbo, the distributor was garbage, and well, it was all pretty much garbage. Car is getting switched over to e85, shooting for 400+whp by this time next year..
Bad engine support

wow the exhaust on that thing sound like shit. and it always will. To bad it isnt a flat four with UEL headers and that boxer rumble like a subaru

there is no exhaust, its a cut-out.
and i agree, if i could do it over again there would be an evo or a sti sitting on a dyno.
