I have been working on and off on this car for 8 months this weekend i am going to get under the car an recheck every thing, bolts, fluid and chang out the diff to a 2:78 LSD.
I am also going to clean up the engine, wires and all hose clamps. The boost controller still needs to be installed.
The dyno will be a few months down the road.

You JUST got the engine started? Is the engine rebuilt or used? Cause I would never dump 10psi in an engine right off the bat if it was just rebuilt -- There's that 1200+ mile break in period.

Great car and great setup!

Jason, I read that you rebuilt the M30 with the stock pistons... do you also use the factory rods?

Thanks Todd.
Today after work I pulled the 3:25 LSD and prepped the 2:79 LSD I will install tomorrow after work also I found a home in the dash for the boost controller.

My good friend is coming down this weekend to help me clean up the engine bay, wires etc. And he is going to install gage pillar and start wiring everything up on the inside.

Hey,
Looking at your Cardioman page, is that really a "292" cam???? Do you know what the full specs on the cam is, especially overlap. Weve been having a large discussion about higher duration/overlap cams and their compatability with forced induction. You may be the first to use a larger duration/overlap cam?

I am running the same cam as e34 biturbo (Pat P) not sure on the spec.
I will call and find out.
