It finally runs!!!! Does anyone have 56k anymore?

[Patarach]

Well after a long hiatus from driving my 240 I finally got it running, here is some pictures, tell me what you think.

It runs great but one thing is scaring me a little. Its running a little over 8psi, on a 8:1 fmu. I am a little worried about it but at the same time I am running 93 octane at 52XX feet above sea level, with 5 degrees of retard. You think I will be fine, I hear no knock, but you don't hear them all.

Sorry about the weird lighting/ crap pictures, cell phone pics.

That's an interesting exhaust manifold and turbo orientation...

Cool!

I'm hoping to get started on my KA-T build this winter...

[Patarach]

Thanks, Ya It is, I though it would be different though, Fab'd it all myself. It only fits with the 4 bolt tang outlet though, i had a 5 bolt on it for awhile. so incredibly close to the MC, Did not like it.

I'm sure you've heard it a few times, but get rid of that damn FMU. It's a good way to find yourself pulling and rebuilding your motor. Get a set of SR 370cc injectors, a Z32 MAFS and an SAFC its relatively cheap and works very well.

Yes I know fmu's suck etc etc etc etc etc. I have a set of 370cc's but for some reason I lost my Safc2.
