looks like that old CHRA swallowed a plug electrode.

AAAAAHHHHH HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAH! You guys lightened up my day. Holy crap!

I would say to stay cheap if you are going to build it. But if you wanted a really clean, low miles engine for a nice swap ...

WOW! That's all I can say.

Great work guys!

man you need some cams! I bet just cams alone will get you where you want to be for that boost level. My old DET with S3 and JWT tune put out 290whp on 18psi. That turbo was way over-done at this a...

That is actually the whole point of having a water cooled turbo. No turbo timer needed, and you don't have to worry about coking of the bearings like in an oil-cooled turbo.

Very nice feature, b...

I have put over 20K miles on my VE-T since it was built in 08. So yea, I've been daily driving the piss out of it.

But the car has sat for the last 6 weeks because I was waiting for tial to send...

That is exactly my reasoning for why this is a good deal. You could just build the motor and have a high compression motor with new everything. Yes it will cost more money, but it will outperform a...

True in most cases. But I spent 1200 on a ve once to find out it had a cracked head. And guess what? No warranty. So I guess it is best to ask questions.

The motor still ran fine, but for 1200 ...

I've been seeing a lot of VEs going for under $800 now. It isn't worth spending .01 more honestly, since I've seen them go to a local shop for ~$600 in really good shape. I'd look for a decent one ...

The larger STG 5 wheel will spool slower, even with the .63 housing. But it flows more. I would go with the biggest exhaust wheel possible, but that is me. VE head of course.

DE head I would go ...

They don't really wear out too bad on the SR, even with really heavy clutches. But use the ones with the kit if you can. Might as well replace them when you do all of them.

You can get 500lb ft of torque by 5500rpm with a GT42R. GT4294r should hit pretty hard just about 6K.

I love the garrett turbos, but I have been really wanting to try out a Borg Warner. The S25...

I would check the order of all the check balls and make sure they are all in the right place. I did a full-build write-up. Search for it in the how-to section.

I have run lean on fuel-cut limiter before. You can actually see my dyno graph starts to lean out. This lean condition can cause detonation!

looks like a t25 to me.

Oh wow. The build looks great!

Post up pics of the wire please.

I am going to do this! Get rid of my MSD box that throws on my check engine light.

Also, could you add in here the settings for the MSS to get it to keep the ...

Without you Vadim, we wouldn't have nearly as many SER owners getting 30+mpg.

lol.

The great thing about a community board, is there are tons of people out there to help me, so I try to ret...

They used to use different materials in older batteries to make the lead "paste" for the plates. Old school batteries used lead-antimony, and newer batteries will not require normal maintenance sin...

Eek. Not sure about that big ass housing. It is worth a shot to see what happens. You can always change housings, but with that being a T4 1.15 housing, it is likely going to be too much exhaust fl...

I can see gas porting helping the guys revving really high. Could keep better ring seal way up there in the rpm range.

But what do I know?

The stock one would prob work better. The wastegate placement is far from ideal, and the cylinder pairing leaves a lot on the table.

It looks sorta home-brew. My kinda thing. Looks like mig weld...

I prefer a more aggressive disk to a more aggressive pp. Here's why:

Lower pressure pp is easy on your knees (for you old folk).
Lower pressure is easier on the clutch cable.
Easier on the thr...

I powdercoated mine to match the car color. Turned out pretty good, but sorta subtle.

GTiR should have more interference with the cams because the GTiR has a larger combustion chamber, and the pistons have less dish. The stock DET pistons have plenty of clearance.
