Alright. Tomorrow between 1 and 3 my stuff is arriving, and after that is more sorting thru stuff. I'll give you a call when I actually get some free time.

Thanks, It took a while but I figured...Do it once, do it right. I will probably save money this way in the long run.

Wow, another interesting build going on now, that's great. Mr. Spoolin, do you have a build-sheet for this 2.8L you are building now? How about some pics of the car too.

Anti surge not necessary. Zero issues.
he won't need a smaller alternator because the Broadfoot / Porsche A/c delete bracket re-located the alternator lower.

GT3076R. Same oil adapter. 44mm Tial. or are you using 38? 2.5" up pipe. Innovative, Broadfoot A/C delete...- Seriously looks like most of the parts I used in my initial GT30R install. Even the up pipe and V-band. Looks like they copied me, but it's probably more like a coincidence. Have they had the 2.5" up pipe for a while? Some things are just destined to get modded out the same way.


Get 1000cc injectors. you'll be happier if you're going to run E-85. You'll be pleased with all. - Hold back and don't turn boost all the way up. Enjoy it a while first at 400whp. then go blow it up after you've thoroughly enjoyed yourself. DON"T BE LIKE SID! - (all in fun)

44mm Tial, Will get the 1000cc injectors, any specific ones you recommend? I'm not sure how long they have carried that up pipe to be honest.
I'll be happy with 400 rear. However, if all you rennlisters keep moving up the scale then rest assured I'll be right behind ya

So far stock rods have been recommended by many
hmm. You have some serious new stuff there. Most likely you are looking for way over 300 hp. If so, get rid of those OEM rods and buy something better. In the States you have some excellent choices available. We (Pete, Arto & me) use these local made rods with 3.0L buildups (compared to two different design 951 oem rods).




951 rods under production:
