Since turbo is off , decide to film it
As my surprise my engine still have some carbon depost even as full race engine
Also did a compression test, abit on low side could be I did not tide the proble or cold engine

The suspension uses Bilstein-derived Ennepetal shocks.
The engine is also non-turbo and uses multi throttles controlled by a Motec.

Can't get enought goody from Japan yahoo auction
335mm R magic rear brake rotor kit , to balance the brake balance, which I think FD have poor on that.... that's why most of fast time attacker install 99-02 late model ABS along with computer control brake bias , but is too complicated option , so I chose to install bigger rear rotor , hope this can reduce my brake bias problem
Unlike LHD drive FD, downpipe is easy design
Lucky me to score in theory one of best flowing design at market , design by knighsport I guess the reason behind it is they are first in jdm market to have stock high flow twin

To my suprise my FD still had stock pan, with 280 slick i still have no oil issue
Show that how well stock design is
But any thing can be improve , going to install
This build to APEx billet oil pan !!! With bigger volume , more ridges design , and very good oil trap door design
One thing that been suprise me is how little oil blow my FD is , usually no need to clean it for whole weekend , unlike my other Turbo RE!!!
finally found out why
The factory OE oil level sensor been replace
With -4 hose direct to button of oil catch can
, so will want to keep this design ,so need to weld a -4an on my new pan

Have to grinding off the EGT welding bug to clear hose
My serect weapon of this race !!
Tire warmer~ the vendor never build this wide one before and have hard time understand what size is of 280/650/18 A005 convert to street tire sizes so I have to tell them to build as 325/30/18
Look like my tire warmer barely fit to my wheel
What a lucky save
My poor stock turbo when thought a hard life as endurance racer....

The GCG turbo is a bit bigger on compressor side, so a bit challenage to install rear pipe but still bolt on, dont need to hack any thing like B&R
Also finally throw away those hks cone filter with old school but better filtering and more surface area K&N

Less then week before race
GCG turbo perform like it should on dyno
With .8kg boost is about 20hp short conpare my friends TD0625G test at same dyno with 1.0kg of boost
Usually the TD06 is about 400-410hp turbo
So my GCG clock at 370-380ish is pretty good for a engine that race 3 full year at track
The rear rotor is a bit tired compare to front
