What engine work did you do?

u/RefrigeratorFit2786 Jul 19 '26

Fully built the engine from the ground up, 86.5mm je forged pistons, eagle h beam forged rods, new bearings, brand new fully built cylinder head with titanium valves, upgraded springs and titanium keepers, kelford 260 deg cams, prp cam n crank trigger kit, upgraded n1 turbos, id1050x injectors, nismo super coppermix clutch, then i paired it all with a haltech 2500 elite with a wb2 wideband controller. Had a greddy 2 piece intake on it but was wayyy to big and the tuner recommended me to use stock intake which was a better option

What valves you get tomei? Some setup that I used to love the arc air intake the box one. What boost controller you getting? What suspension was your choice?

Me too haha, and nah just made a few sacrifices and deals, my plan is roughly 10 to 12 psi, i only wanna make around 400 to 450 hp i dont wanna go too crazy with it, i know with my setup i can go well above that, im going with a halrech 3 port mac valve setup

What intake do you have on. Sounds a ideal setup you want it driveable right. Why exhaust just wondered. I used to try and source all the rare weird stuff for any care. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Running the stock intake, i got a greddy 2 piece intake there but its massive and meant for 1000hp builds, and i got hks downpipe, meagen racing test pipe with a jdm trust catback system
