Awesome to hear about the swap, I am looking forward to pics.

Blew the engine up at Dominion raceway. Fuel starve on a long left with not enough in the tank leads to a bad time. Pro tip keep no less than a third in the tank at track days.

Also decided to finally ditch the micro squirt ecu and I upgraded to the haltech 1500, along with Smart coils,got it all wired up and it runs great. Also to the car to a pretty cool dude that pulled every dent, fixed every blemish and got the whole car painted.

All the body work and painting for the SA

Looks great! It must be a blast to drive!

Yes it's awesome, well it was. Unfortunately this past weekend I decided to destroy my BNR turbo. Little oopsiepoopsie happened and I've destroyed the thrust bearing, significant axial play now. So that's being sent back to Bryan at BNR for a good rebuild. Excited to get that back and for now I've got a stock s4 unit in the car just so I can still drive it on the weekends. Before I dropped it into the car I decided to open up the tiny internal waste gate since I don't want any surprise boost creeps.

BNR is back in and better than ever. New turbo blanket is pretty cool too.

You've got to take some running videos for us!

Another dead engine because of stupid mistakes

Soooooooo, new years day i destroyed my engine at a drift event. The set screw i used to keep the 5th and 6th port sleeves in place, one of them decided to shed its Loctite, back itself out and then had a little play date with an apex seal before being shit out the back end :)
---rotor and housing were trashed as expected.
With that being said I'm finally ditching the 6 port/T2 hybrid engine build. I've got all new T2 parts to completely rebuild the engine again. (i don't actually blame this on my engine being a 6 port turbo build, that part backing out and grenading shit is entirely my fault for not securing it better but also it was a completely unnecessary part that i did not need to include in my build, this is the perfect example of adding more shit that can fail and murphys law took the stage)
No more unnecessary parts or cutting corners now, i think I've finally learned my lesson and to just keep things as simple as possible and do what has been proven to work and work well.

That sucks! At least you will make it better with the new rebuild.

What did you do with the dual 36 carbs? Still got them?

I no longer have them sadly, sold them back in 23 to someone in California. Hindsight 20/20, i definitely should have kept them.
