Oh nice. Come back to the Darkside like me.

The Rota Grids do look nice...as do the P45R's, however I REALLY like those Linea Corse Lemans wheels.

My first focus right now is to finalize the lemon lawsuit (should be done within 30 days) and then Im searching for an F250/350 diesel. I have a 240 on the side, but not sure when I will commence the build... motor in it has not started in over 5 years...

I was thinking the same thing; shoulda just kept my old 240, but I couldn't afford school at the time, it had to go.

Your car is still as sick as I remember...actually even better.

What kind of turbo setup are you running now, Spencer?

I'm actually interested in boosting again in the future, but for the life of me, I can't remember a lick of what I learned about building my own setup. I'm sure it'll come back to me, but I have to consider my power goals...hmm.

Thanks. I don't know what I was running last time you were around LOL. But it's a t04e garrett/rotomaster 60 trim (now with bad oil seals). I'll be upgrading the turbo and manifold very shortly but the rest is the same. Nistune '95 ecu, 750cc, z32 mafs at 12psi on a refreshed head and cp 9:1 pistons and eagle rods. If you go the ka turbo route go all the way out or don't do it at all. Thankfully there are a lot more options than there used to be especially with tuning. However, if I could go back and do everything over I would have a 2jzgte and a big single in here.

Goodness! I think you were running a t2 flanged turbo with emanage or something.

What kind of numbers are you putting down, and also...do you not recommend going with a t2 flanged turbo? I was running recirculated with problems trying to vent atmospheric back then...I never got around to doing anything more before I sold it.

Sigh, looks like it's going to be more long nights of reading for me! Hahaha. KA-T.org here I come.
