Its alot easier to get all this done as the cars still part..and i don't want to upgrade my turbo anymore.
Its a bigger GT-30 unit..SBR30-13...a good STRONG turbo from what i hear.
BTW nice #'s from the GT30-.62 kit....

Its a bigger GT-30 unit...able to support 550+ hp....but we shall let the dyno/1/4 mile track verify that

What other than the pistons did you use? Did they have you switch to the hondata intake gaskets and delete the TGV's?

We put CP's in there from the start... but we switched the rods from factory forged to chrome moly Pauters along with some other minor things.
The intake stuff is still up in the air..,,but we will be running a new setup.

Funding is of great importance in an arm$ race. That puts you at a little disadvantage.
Anyways, the Grudge should be fun and I'll show as long as the Xede mess gets "resolved" by then.
