My new GT42R setup is almost done!!!
Hey, so I bought this car back in Aug. of 04. It was a 93 BB base with 40,000 original miles on it. It came with a few mods: HKS F-CON piggyback, HKS EVC, HKS intakes, PFS SMIC, Strut bar, Front and rear sway bars, HKS boost gauge, HKS FCD, HKS SSQV BOV, RB single tip catback. Right after I bought it the sequential system stopped working right so i went full non-sequential. Anyway I only drove it few times before I moved to florida to go to school (florida tech). The car stayed in my parents garage while my dad started it every few weeks. When I came back for thanksgiving break I drove the car for a week and it ate a full quart of oil. Then i left to finish up the semester. I came back in early dec and then the car was eating 2 full quarts of oil every week!!!!! So I tore it apart sold all of the aftermarket crap except for the cat-back. Then I took off the stock twins and found the problem - they had huge cracks in them and were toasted. So I tore everything down to the block and decided to redo everything. I was going to go with a greddy T-78, but got a very good deal on a slightly used GT42R custom setup so I went with that instead. The car has been down since X-mas and I am getting close to finishing it now - I hope 
Here is the car in late Jan

yea most of those lines are for my 2 - 38mm TIAL wastegates and profec B. The blue line is the alcohol/H2O injection line coming from the trunk. HAHA my passenger fender well is full of so many wires cause I have 4 electronic gauges with sensors going underneath the hood. If someone ever hits my passenger fender I will be so screwed. My 4" DP barely fits in there.

I still have to finish my fuel system. I have 2 nippondenso (supra) pump that sit in the tank. One goes to the primary rail while the other goes to the secondary rail. All new fuel line 3/8in the whole way. So I have 2 feed lines. After they come out of the rail, I am using the regulator as a "T" and then I have one 3/8in return fuel line going back into the tank.

I am running the magnus motorsports manifold with 1 tial 38mm wastegate on each exhaust runner (so 2 total). The downpipe is a 4" magnus piece too. The intercooler is a custom made one using a spearco core and custom end-tanks and piping.
Also, the reason why the last owner sold the kit was because he was going to the dark side ---> LS6 haha

looks good in the pic but since you've had your hands on it let me ask you....how do you like it? Does it seem to fit good and look like it wont have any rubbing problems? I'll have that same setup on my car shortly and I'm just wondering how the fit and finish is.
