And your build is looking fantastic! Quick question though. On the UIM choice: In what ways is the RE uim better than the REW uim? And vice versa? Would one promote the spooling of a turbo more than the other? Sorry if it is a mundane question, I have just realized that I had no clue (beside the "pulse wave balancing" design in the REW manifold. hmm i still gotta look into that turbo... but im pretty well set on the 35r... :D i guess im down to make over 420+on that that turbo lol thanks. well the Motor itself is a Cosmo, so i have to run that manifold... as far as differences go... all i can say is that the RE is known to have more torque in the low end. and i read some where that the manifold was slightly better designed due to the fact that the intake ports are huge stock... sorry i cant really answer your question, as i myself am still learning... i only been in the car scene for 1yr 8months lol:lol:

He may be refering to Joe's FD... there's only 1 other blue FD around here that I know of besides his.

I like his car, but I hate how it never has the headlight covers or hood on it! :)

I would have stuck with my RE late last year, if a pin-hole leak in my wastegate diaphram didn't cause over-boosting during the initial dyno-tuning...You know the rest.
But back to YOUR thread.....That motor REALLY looks like it's coming together!! I'm not a huge fan of power-coating engine parts crazy colors, but that deep purple on the shortblock does look pretty darn awesome! I was wondering though, you mentioned rolling your fenders. Have you considered maybe just getting the Burnout fenders? Cost me $600 for the front/rear sets together. Still waiting on funds to have it all molded in and re-painted. Overall though, I'm lovin' the progress pics. After you get that '99 frame-less bumper prepped up right, are you going to go with that? |

That's no joke, I've seen his room in person! Shouldn't complain though because I found a good power steering pulley that I needed.... thanks man!
Jaime, you don't have a girlfriend do you? Cause mine would kill me if brought engine parts inside the house! One day you gotta stop sleeping with your intercooler and clean up your room! haha, just playin' man. |
