After fixing the multiple 240 Gremlins I had under the hood, I made 5 15 psi pulls with no problems. I'm running out of fuel at 15 psi at 6000 or so RPM. So the stock S14 fuel pump is good for about 14psi then she sputters out. Which is about as good as the R32 Skyline pump. They are probably the same part.

So anyhow, I need a bit of fine tuning and ton of cleanup. The under hood area looks like a grenade went off. So I'll be wrapping everything and doing some paint/polish work, then you guys will get about a gig worth of pictures to look at. Hopefully this will include my Alky kit and IC sprayer.

1.8 years and 4-5 thousand in parts and pieces...but she's fun to drive. Never give up your project. Not many people can say they built an entire turbo kit from scratch and it works pretty damn good. But I am finally one of those people.

AWSOME mad Congradulations.

As long as it is finished and fun then it doesn't matter how much or how long it took you DID it all yourself.

Can't wait to see the pics

Way to go, WD!

I'm dying to see pics of this thing. And now we can finally hear the details of this alky system. Get that thing on a dyno, and show us some pics.

I swear 2005 is the summer of the KA-T! Rock on guys...
