Let's see some pictures of the turbo 'Busa next to the FD and a dyno sheet for the FD showing 455 RWHP.
There you go again being an internet *** clown. My next "dyno sheet" is going to contain double the HP of what you wish yours will never ever make. Still on the jack stands? lmfao what a joke.

For those of you with a life and have any legit questions reguarding my build and were curious on updates. Heres what i have been up to!!! After the turbo kit is completed i will be fully caging the car as well.

Jim's FD is still on jack stands? I thought coming back after a few years would make everyone's car be done but I guess not. :p

LOL i was looking for an old thread of mine and i stumbled upon this one, only to find out yet again the internet warrior jimblab hath christined thy thread. I have faith thee blabmaster will eventually chime in, its only a matter of time during his hourly routine of forum whoring and making irrelevant comments.

Ouch, "Double the HP of what you wish yours will never ever make". It's no "Moneys can buy a head of the neck", that's for sure, but it'll do.

Ok, did some research to find out what the hell the smack talk was about and wow...as I was reading I had to be sure I was on the right forum.

Not taking any sides cause its none of my business so time to move on..

I really want the headers to look awesome, hence why im waiting on my friend to TIG them. Then the entire hotside once completed will get JET coated. Il be using a TIAL 60mm wastegate. the WG exit is almost 2.25"!!! You bet i'l run it atmospheric -evil grin-

PS, im wasting a lot of time and $$ on my Prerunner 5.3 ranger as well, A.D.D. is a motherfu----!

its gonna sound like a bomb going off when it opens up! haha 60mm is actually larger than 2&1/4" its larger diameter than some aftermarket civic catbacks!

Also, new update, since i got tired of waiting and this thread inspired me... i removed the headers and took them to another friends shop to get TIG'd up! I should have the entire hotside done next week and hopefully the revised cooling system as well!

Looks good but twin turbo in CA? I thought Jim Lab would have finished his by now. How did you get a LSx to fit? From what I read on conversions there are too tall or you mess with the steeering dropping id down.
