Just found about this site from a friend on arizona8thgen. I have a habby red fa5. I am in the process of building the block for boost and the turbo kit. I just need my manifold to be done so I can get my turbo, WG, BOV and lines. Attachment 39Attachment 40

Car looks nice and clean, I love Habbys <3 What is your current build list and what parts are left to get? Just want to make sure you're getting all the right stuff.

K20a2 block. Wiseco 86.5mm 9.8:1Cr, Eagle rods, bored and honed block, blueprinted and balanced everything. Leaving the z3 head stock for now. I got all apr bolts and head studs. Turbo manifold is custom with downpipe. I should be getting my 255 walbro, ID1000cc injectors. Still looking for a good deal on 4bar map senor, IC, vacuum block and lines. I just got priced for my GT3076R. If I am missing anything let me know.
Nice list, seems promising. 4bar your best bet is most likely Xenocron.com they have great prices. And I've always had and heard bad experiences with vacuum blocks, I would suggest straying away from one and just wiring up as you need. It can be made clean as well.Quote:

Plus, you'll be running higher boost due to lower compression. And the best place for turbo pricing is evans-tuning.com they have GT30R's for ~1200.
Well the vacuum block is supposed to be good with the Flashpro since the fa5/fg2 do not need a boost controller. Well I am only shooting for 400 now since I am saving up for my tranny gears. Probably going with Albins 3rd-4th gear. If you know a place to get a fuel return kit let me know. I am also looking for place to get some AN fittings and lines. I do not want to be like my friend and have it pop off on the highway.
Sup Greg it's getting closer to boost time !!

welcome to the forums!
What do you mean it doesn't need a boost controller? Yes we do, everyone runs MAC solenoids as a boost controller. Our only shot at traction. As for the fuel return, just get push-to-lock fittings. You'll be set.Quote:

I meant an eletric boost controller. I have my MAC block. I picked that 9.8:1cr to make it decent off boost. But my turbo should spool quick from what I have been told. We will see soon.
Keep us updated, I'm excited to see your progress!
It's getting close. Just waiting on the machine shop with my block. IC piping will be ordered next week and also 4 port catch can.
Where did you send your block? Also, are you getting a universal kit to do yourself? And why a 4-port catch can? Thats a lot!Quote:

4-port cans are normal for your higher hp cars. 2-4 on the vc and some people run one or two to the oil pan.
Interested in seeing some pics and numbers. Keep up the good work
^ I've never seen that before. That's awesome! Same here, post up some updates!
