Nice work. So you used the stock subframe, and core support? Jesus! Where did you find the bumper? Also what Ebay headlights did you use and do you like them? I may swap mine out this winter...

I don't believe so, but there seems to be big interest in a divided T4 from the 4 banger community. I would ask Chad directly if anything else is available.

That Blue one with the SBC that was at Akron vs the World? Understood with the WP-I have run the 4G63's we have half filled with regular pumps without issue, but the electric is a great upgrade-also great to cool down at the track with the car off. I though those cylinder walls looked thin....

Very nice! 1) What is sitting next to the Super? 2) What made you go electric WP?

If a C7, GTR, and Huracan had a baby, thats would be it. 1) Ugly- you can pretend its a throwback design but its so far off, (short front nose, no rear "swoop") that IMO it misses the mark. 2)They are what-2-3 years late to the hybrid supercar party? 3) every other current hybrid super car looks better, and will likely perform better. 3 Strikes, Im out.

May be a stupid question, but are EV1 and EV6 different connectors? I thought an Ls1 was EV6?

This is a review of the http://on3performance.com/ billet Ball Bearing 67mm turbo. I picked up a set of these turbos after having good luck with On3's standard bearing turbos in the past. I wanted something affordable, but with some modern amenities and updated aero wheels. I sold PTE, Turbonetics, FP, and Garrett turbos from 2003-11 so I saw the huge improvements turbine and compressor wheel designs have made over the years in moving air with great er efficiency. On3's billet line up on paper gives a great gap between improved efficiency and cost. Similar turbos sell for $2200+in ball bearing form http://www.extremeturbosystems.com/Precision-PTE-6766-CEA-Billet-Turbocharger.html These are the turbos I have purchased On 3 Performance Billet 67 67mm Ceramic Ball Bearing turbocharger CNC Comp Wheel | eBay It came packaged well with super janky instructions. Really, if you need instructions you should not be buying a turbo at all. http://i1003.photobucket.com/albums/af154/coltboostin/IMG_20140826_212158_495.jpg Turbo was perfectly clean and preoiled. The Compressor is obviously machined billet AL and not cast, as is the backing plate which is a great sign of quality. Both Compressor and turbine wheels were balanced (I verified the rear of the compressor was balanced with material removed) I did not check the dynamic balance of the assembly as I don't have the $250k machine to do it. Wheel specs were sent as follows Compressor: Inducer: 66.6mm Exducer: 84mm Inlet: 100mm Outlet: 62.5mm Exhaust: Flange: T4 Outlet: 3” Vband A/R: .81 Inducer: 74.2mm Exducer: 64.5mm And checked out http://i1003.photobucket.com/albums/af154/coltboostin/IMG_20140826_214445_398.jpg http://i1003.photobucket.com/albums/af154/coltboostin/IMG_20140826_214518_642.jpg The Compressor is definitely updated tech with a thin center shank and much larger, longer, and more swept blade area. It also has an airfoil profile unlike most cast turbos which are just a uniform piece of material. Compared to the GT45 everyone loves http://i1003.photobucket.com/albums/af154/coltboostin/IMG_20140826_214617_786.jpg And a GT42 http://i1003.photobucket.com/albums/af154/coltboostin/IMG_20140826_214803_964.jpg It does not take an engineer to see what compressor is going to move air more efficiently. The turbine wheels looks more like the Aero shape of Garret's GT turbine, which is GREAT news! This is compared to a China GT45 (top) and a Garrett T31 turbine of a 60-1 (left) http://i1003.photobucket.com/albums/af154/coltboostin/IMG_20140826_213537_880.jpg Most people don't realize when the GT35r came out and crushed everything in the 6xmm arena, all they did was change the turbine and used the same compressor (very, very slightly reworked) as their previous T-61. People were bolting these on and gaining 60-80whp all from turbine efficiency. So, I am happy to see that technology used/mimicked here. You can hear and feel the BB CHRA. Its not as loud as a Garrett CHRA which uses steel BB's, but its obvious especially when compared side by side to a STD Bearing unit. Another nice touch is a true unique identifier. I dont know if anyone is actually keeping track here, but again its nice to see! http://i1003.photobucket.com/albums/af154/coltboostin/IMG_20140826_215035_461.jpg All and all, I am 110% happy with my purchase. These are by FAR the nicest "Chinese" turbo I have ever seen, and I have had 100's pass through my hands over the years. You can buy 2 for less than one of its competitors, all with a true BB CHRA. Also, its interesting that these wheels seem to be true one-off units, as they don't match any of PTE/COMP/FP or Turbonetics wheels I have seen or can find in the directory, and are obviously not BW/Schwitzer copies. Funny thing is, this is about the turbo I asked PTE to build in 2008 (6762) for a TT Supra set up and they would not do it. Glad Chad found someone that would!! With the turbine wheel/housing sizing, I think this would work great on a 4 banger as well and will test one on a Mitsu or Honda in the next few months hopefully. I have about 300 miles on these now, and the still have ZERO shaft play, same as they came out of the box. The are very responsive and I can see full boost in all gears on a stock 5.7 (twins), and positive manifold pressure @1600 rpm in 4th. I will be installing the rest of my fueling soon, and will have dyno charts available as soon as I build an intercooler set up. Any questions feel free to ask. I hope this helps some people considering this option since its a new turbo to the market.

Why is Columbus CnC so much better than CLE? Marketing?

AC work? Leak anything?

For sure! I'll shoot you an email/PM later today.

Looks like I will be talking to Chad about that Really, E85 is HARD on fuel systems-and I would never put E85 in a car unless its a new car, or it had a plastic tank or a new fuel lines/cell. When I had E85 in my old Rx-7 it killed multiple pumps in one summer just from rust clogging it up, even with a pre-filter. On Gas, used 80 lbs injectors and a used 340 lph will get you to 800whp-thats a $300ish dollar fuel system for 800whp. Cant beat it!

I had a goal; Drive it to the office 9/26. Goal achieved!! http://i1003.photobucket.com/albums/af154/coltboostin/IMG_20140926_174303_950.jpg The stuck caliper has seemed to unstick itself, and all coolant leaks are gone (for now). My "new" alternator took a dump on the way to a big meet in Mexico Saturday. Lucky one of the 300+people there had a spare off a 5.3 and lived close by. Swapped it in 20 minutes, and I was ready to go! Clutch is not bad now that I am used to it. Its about time to commit to an intercooler and fuel, and turn this ol' girl up. Considering I am 10.5 to one, I am heavily considering e85, but that will inflate the cost of this super budget build. I am around $4100 as she sits today. Goal was to see 700+whp for $5k total investment, and then do what i need to do to go for the record. Its going to be close!

Is there a CnC forum for you guys down here? Just trying to find out why its alarmingly dead up North.

Very Cool!

LOLOLOL The LONG blocks alone cost that, or more!

So I removed the pass side manifold to work on the coolant leak. Tapped the Water pump, and somehow lost my tube of Hondabond. Figured "high tack gaskets sealant would do the trick. NOPE! Freaking thing still leaked! Went and bought more gasket maker and gooped it on. All is well again! http://i1003.photobucket.com/albums/af154/coltboostin/IMG_20140925_012652_501.jpg Took her for another drive and notice after some spirited turns a small of oil. Pull over to see what looks to be a trans leak. WTF? Get under it to discover that I forgot to address my lack of speed sensor issue! Oye. Made a block off plate for now. http://i1003.photobucket.com/albums/af154/coltboostin/IMG_20140925_012713_848.jpg Had some time tonight to do some further tidying up-extended and consolidate some wires in the harness, adjusted the clutch, reinstalled as much interior bits as I could find (car came with a few boxes of random BS) and got the interior/exterior lights working. I may have a dead headlight motor, will have to deal with that later. Got the rear glass to open consistently-and a few other odds and ends on the list of things to do. The car actually seems mildly presentable at the moment-which makes me happy. I plan to drive the car to the office on Friday, and on a longish 30 mile trip afterwords. If all goes well-fuel, intercooling, and dyno time will be next on the list.

http://www.suzukihayabusa.org/ Has several part outs on there at any given time

That would be epic

I live on rubber hose and worm clamps. That’s not the issue (cant fit a "u hose as the Waste gate is there) I crimped and welded them, and its leaking at the fitting/water pump connection. I am looking for the taps when I get home. If not (or if no one local has them) I will reinstall with a generous helping of JP weld. It is a 7 year old water pump anyways, and will be replaced when I toss the cam I picked out of the trash in the car. :lolguy: :

Anyone else over "thanks dad" Dan Bilzerian?

Current "Hot pipe" does not. With the IC, it will all fit a stock hood. No issued from the man yet while driving around..... I'm sure I look like Mad Max rolling down the street. I can tell you my neighbors be like :dumb: :no:

Not bad-but it will be intercooled before its turned up. Purpose? Set records/make babies cry for pocket change First ever TT LSx FC (box checked) Reset the LS1 stock block record Reset the overall Stock LSx record Overall Goals 9's@150+on true street radials (non bias ply's) Run 200+ in the Texas mile

Back on the ground and accumulating miles. It is super hairy on 255 street tires and I am not even getting into boost yet I likely will need to switch to a stock rear shock/spring to get some weight transfer back for track time. http://i1003.photobucket.com/albums/af154/coltboostin/IMG_20140917_095826_620.jpg She has a significant coolant leak at the water pump to heater hose connection. Have anyone even converted that the a threaded barb?

Great value-could not get that price per square foot up here in a good area.

Who tuned it?
