Ha ahahhaahaa. Yeah sometimes you need a little meat on the bones.

Off topic..... But how many times does any body on the forums try to order a part from a "suppose to be" rotary shop, and get little or no response? I mean how do they stay in business? Guess i'm just venting and i won't call names, but damn, come on man answer the phone and take my money please.

Ok, after my rant lol. I need help finding a custom waterpump/thermostat housing. My turbo cannot work with the factory waterpump/thermostat housing. Any suggestions? Himni Racing makes a nice custom one, hence my rant...lol. and Defined Autoworks makes one that im gonna purchase, thanks Logan for answering the phone on the first ring...

Wow looks good stefan. You need to get in gear! You're falling behind. lol.

But your motor is looking good and its time for you to bring the car down to Rotorsports Racing and have Bryan finish it. He's waiting.

Quick question, for big power builds like this one. Do you guys also blank of the OMP and premix, or do you leave OMP installed. Whats your plans?

I plan to do both..... I think.....!!

The fd oil metering pump is ok, but i will use half of what i normally use for my premix. I also wondered about this. My fc, i used premix. Liked the looks on people faces when u put oil in your gas tank.. lol.
