did you peep the video yet?.
mainly tune air/fuel and timing. for more torque which went up to 113 from 101 definately feel the pull there.

it did start to lean out after a few pulls due to my fuel pump being stock. so that's the best we could do. im sure i could have squeezed more out of it if i had the Walbro 255 in there. more like 132whp with about 121tq. remember this motor has no internal work at the moment it's all STOCK internally, just has bolt ons ..

Finanlly Added my SIR-G from strut tower bar. been sitting on for almost 2 years. now it handles better not as loose as it was before. thinkiong for wrinkle red as new paint for it.. match the vlave cover??.. =]

M8-1.25x25mm bolts with matching flange nuts. i think 1.50 would have filled the hole better but these still bolt up pretty good. also 20mm length would have been a lil better but damn the places either had the bolt and no nut ot nut and no bolts.. lol

More to come.. =] :thumb:

I would not paint that bar the same color thats not going to look cool
Just keep it black or dark gray

Good luck on your turbo built. I'll be watching this one

I know, it a hell of work but the result is all worth it

Mine isn't as clean as it is looking at the pictures, if you come closer you see all the scratches and dents so mine also needs a new paintjob.

Strut bar; That makes it different, that wouldn't look bad at all

Keep up posting :D

- Sat Nov 27, 2010 12:20 am #224765 Yeah I got that same strut bar and it defiantly makes a difference
I keep hearing that the skunk 2 intake mani takes power away
but you just have to tune it right?

Edit: I think those mounts help out with whp right?

yea definately it's how u tune it. it just shifts the torque curve up a lil higher in the rpm range. and yes the mounts do help keep power to the ground.. less engine flex better tranferable power.. =] :thumb:
