Ok old car got hit, have a new one and now I have most of the parts. Figured I would share and take some constructive criticisms on my goals and choices so far. My plans are for about 350ish whp car, its not really gonna see to much drag strip time and will be my daily driver. Really just building a fun car for me to drive around on the street. I am still waiting on z32 front brakes and s14 rear brakes, meagan coilovers, and a lsd. I will more than likely also be purchasing some 264 cams in about a month or so. I hope to have it all put together pretty soon and get it tuned with the emange on the dyno. Wish me luck.

I bought the turbo (gt3071r t3 .63) from teambuiltnissan on here, thanks again.









Thanks for reading.

I would have got the 3076R with the shrouded compressor housing, but thats just me.

In total I spent $1030 shipped. That was the lowest I have come across it so I couldn't pass it up. Full race has it for like $1,100 though if you are interested.

I hope to keep it a street-able daily driver, I am curious to see when full boost will kick in. From talking to various companies that carry the turbo its looking like full boost will be about 4200-4500rpm but im keeping my fingers crossed.

i thought about the 3076r with the shrouded compressor housing after I saw a couple of da integras running it(honda-tech and super street), but this was a great deal so I hopped on it. I am kind of mad though because my brother informed me that after seeing my 3071r he wants to out due me, so it looks like he might be getting a 3076r.

In-case you guys wanted to see a pic of my competition here ya go.

My brothers b18 boosted ef civic hatch.

RWD will eat that civic for breakfast. my friend has a 95 hx hatchback with a built h22a running a sc61 and though it makes about 700whp, it doesnt get a bit of traction in any gear. this is with some big drag radials. if you can hook up youll be set.

yeah I was looking for some 660cc's or 720's but havent come across a the right price yet. For right now I dont think the car will be making anymore than 340ish to 350ish whp. Im in no rush, and I think by friday I should have the injectors (720's) but thats only if my friend comes through. I appreciate your input, but if I cant get them for $250 this friday I will wait until I am going to put in the cams. Please keep your opinions coming as I have learned a lot about cars in general from most of the ppl on this forum.

If anyone has some direct drop in 720's for me to purchase please let me know. I want to finish this car up by next month with suspension and brakes.

I have dreams of one day hitting 400whp but for now thats all it is. Plus, i think 400hp on the street is a little crazy but hell its all in fun.

my brother bought it for me in june from ebay I think. I think it was around $250, but it didnt come with the software. It also only came with the main harness. The others like the injector and pressure sensor harness I bought from mohdparts.com.

Thanks pete, and your write-up is top notch man. I'll be sure to let you know how it turns out.

Im going to try and get a couple of vids of when it is tuned on the dyno and probably a couple of street pulls. Im going to hit up dee about some 264 cams in about 3 weeks and go from there. I'm going to see what this "lil" turbo can make on 18psi bolted to a stock bore ca18.
