Video is happening once I finish dropping in my motor and hit the track. Don't worry, I havent forgotten about the full length video.

Can you elaborate? Or just come by and show me when you pick up the other pair of wheels lol.

Haha we'll see we'll see, I do like the vmount setup you put together though. If I get anywhere near 220hp I'll be pretty happy especially since I'm not rebuilding internals or porting. I'm still debating between a high mounted fmic or vmic, I'll see how much I have left over after I have all the necessities.



Got a little done today, after I got out of class I went to go pick up a 2.5" downpipe from WhiteRice_7. After that I had a photoshoot with MazdaFitment.com, should hopefully be seeing the feature with them. Finally got home and did a little work on the turbo.

Of course it got fresh paint as well as the downpipe

Maybe I just can't read or it wasnt included, but is this going to a 4 port or 6 port engine? And what exactly is port matching?

Not sure if were ready for another team in another state haha. Only reason we have a Utah team is because we have relatives that are in the team. Bring it back hypertek! Looks like you had something going there.


Stupid s4 manifold flapper thing is getting welded tomorrow, thats all the updates I have for now lol.

Feels like forever since I've updated. Heres a small one:

My motor mounts ripped when pulling the motor so I snagged these for cheap.
