Well, winter is my time to collect parts and get ready for spring to assemble stuff. No garage makes for a really cold time working on the car. She mainly sits for the winter waiting for new life in the spring. Little stuff I can do in the house that doesn't make a mess to upset the wife gets done in the winter. Like rebuild a turbo or such.

I got another item off yahoo japan today. A KKK K27 3070G turbo. Found a turbo graph in Single turbo section says the turbo should support 500ps or 493 hp. Right now, I have the K26 2670 on the car. The turbos will just swap out making life easier. There is a bigger intercooler coming and the intake and exhaust ports have been grinded to a extended streetport. The exhaust ports have been opened up alot and i think they will spin this turbo without too much difficulty. Im not looking to make a 500hp 12a. but its nice to know that the items can soppurt it if I go there in the future. Hoping for a little over 300 hp and a big smile.

 

does this mean your keeping your car then?

 

For awhile, got a second job and not burdened but my bills as much.... And when i change duty stations i will probably take the good parts from the car and make another when i get where im going.

 

Wait what is the last pic of? It looks like a r32 skyline front end...?

 

yeah, but the pic is of the intercooler i got

 

You could always do the easiest thing, and scavenge around in Japans garbage centers...

 

thats kinda tough from maryland???

 

lol, well good to see your gonna have some more fun with her! i know i could never get rid of mine after i finally tuned it and all. just wayyyy too much fun.

 

so watcha going to do with the old turbo?

 

put it on ebay, as well as the old intercooler. but that wont be till late spring early summer.

 

ever heard of a kerosine heater?

 

what ic were you using before?

 

I'll not that hardcore anymore, ever heard of wind chill when its 26 degrees outside. besides whats the point of sitting outside just to rebuild a turbo or finish the port job on the engine. When i can do them inside. I still have plenty to keep me busy till the temperatures warm back up.

It has no badges on it. Came with the Sigma kit when i bought it. I'm geussing from my computer chair that it has a 6in X 18in X 2in core with 2in inlets/outlet that face the same direction.
