Talking Spooling !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Damn , when this turbo kicks in it hit's hard ! The turbo spool-up is extremely loud that I don't hear my exhaust and I was shifting around 5000 rpm ! The gt-35r is the way to go ! Now it's time to figure out what block I'll buy ?

I'd drive it like I stole it and then when the block goes. It's not if, but when, then think about the bottom end.

Too bad you guys don't have an awd dyno on Maui, or do you? Awesome pics by the way, setup looks clean!

I'm already looking into a block already Crawford , Axis , Cosworth , and so on . Now , installing the block that's another story . I'm defintely buying a block in the next few months , so I'm taking it one day at a time .

Thanks on the comments ! It was quite a job putting together a Crawford kit but it was worth all the trouble . It's a solid well-built kit and I-speed did a great job on the intial tune !

I'm still waiting on a up-graded tune from I-speed , but checking my easy-ecu software I'm running around 15-18 psi around 5000 rpm . Accordingly to I-speed's base map of 19 psi it should be runnning around 390 to the wheels . I don't like to open it up on the open road , waiting for my defi's to come in so I can take it to the track to get a more accurate reading .

I-speed sent back a up-graded rom file to test , I found the bottom 2 gears to bog down after 5000 rpm's , 3rd picks up a bit , 4th starts to scream , haven't pushed it past 4th because I prefer to wait to run it on the track for a more accurate legal reading .

Thanks ! I'm already starting to plan to swap out my bottom end by summer . I'll feel much more at ease with forged internals when gunning it hard .
