1 BAR?! DAAAAAMN, did you have upgraded injectors/Z32 MAF/fuel pump/etc? I keep reading about how the stock 370cc injectors are at their limit around there. I'll probably running stock boost, but I'd like to run at around 10PSI. Possible w/o the aid of a boost controller?

whats up everyone! i was thinking it would take till friday for the swap to be completed but they called me today and i picked it up this afternoon. had fun wid the car all day long, just got home (its 2:30am) from a night of fun. the car runs great! just gotta take it back in next week for some minor tweaks. the HKS BOV isnt in yet cuz its still coming in the mail. theyll install it next week. even though, i can still hear a nice ppssshhh when i shift gears. i love the car so much right now. pulls really hard but i havent pushed it to the limit yet. anyone know what the stock SR redline is? im shifting at 6.5 right now cuz im scared i might hurt the motor. mad props to the guys at Evolution Motorsports. quick install and good work. finally im not stock anymore!

the shop is located in south sacramento. you can check their website out at http://www.em-racing.com. the swap cost me a fortune haha. i spent the whole summer saving up for it. for the parts alone i spent $4,400. Then for labor....they charged me $1200. so the entire swap cost me a hair under 6 grand. a lot of money yes, but i think it was well spent.
