Well and maybe a very slight increase in mpg as it will not be in boost at the lower rpms but that's about it.

I agree with Awa. If you don't plan to run extra fuel or a built motor you should stick to a smaller turbo than the s4 or 3076. They are 500hp capable basically and you would lose spool time and not need what it offers. My vote would be gtx2867 if you could afford it instead of the s3.

Good luck man! Hold the gas all the way to the floor and let it crank a few seconds. Do this two or three times before starting and it will help get oil to that amazing new turbo before it actually runs :)

Nope it's just a regular phone picture lol It sits high right now but I am going to be welding the matching vband (that came with the turbo) onto the t3 to vband adapter and will bring it down about an inch and a bit closer to the block too

It is a Pulsar version of the gtx3576r .82 a/r and is vband inlet and outlet. The manifold is t3 so I have an adapter that goes from t3 to vband it helped raise the turbo a bit and vband is much easier to unhook.

So here is a sneak peak of some of what I have been up to..... It's so sexy and NSFW lol jk I wanted to powder coat my valve cover and intake manifold but decided to wait until everything is working and plumbed in correctly etc. :) @SyntheticAtmosphere I'm sure you'll love the top mount BT...

Alright guys so I have found many situations where people didn't know whether or not to reuse their injector seals or not. I have asked for people's advice and personal experience on this subject and here is what I have found out so far... Anyone else let me know and I will add to OP...

Remove what you want man and put it in its place it's no biggie. Sorry

My engine builder installed them the first time so I honestly don't know what they torqued them to. I would hope close to that spec. Needless to say I torqued them to 25ft lbs this time in case they had slightly over torqued them the first time around. Hopefully everything seals up well. This...

So like 20ft lbs? I may have did a few lbs more lol

This is an old thread so sorry to "resurrect" it..... When reusing my CS injector seals what torque should I torque them to the second time around? Anyone who has had success with reusing please chime in for mine and everyone else's knowledge please! @Sho @JohnnyTightlips @Enki

Crazy fast turn around once the motor was ready. Not going to lie I'm a bit jealous haha Can't wait for some amazing videos (PLZ!?) and so glad for you bro!

Well because my builder said that's what he has used a lot and it seems to do a great job. I hope it doesn't bite me but he does build engines a lot

Engine is back together for the most part but needing to do some of the "bolt on" type stuff. Made a crank pulley holding tool that I figured I would share. Kind of wild looking and rough since I didn't take time to clean it up yet but it worked flawlessly! It is made to set against the floor...

I just done my vvt and I put a bolt in the pulley along with the timing pin and plate installed for the first 70ft lbs. Then marked the 90% mark and removed all the timing tools and finishes tightening the crank pulley bolt. I actually made a crank holding tool for doing this and it worked...

I double checked after final tq of my crank bolt. Bumped the crank against the timing pin and the cam plate slipped right in and crank pulley is on the 20th tooth with the crank position sensor. Everything seems right so I won't worry about it! Thanks for your help man I appreciate it!

Well I am just double checking a few things but am not having much luck. One thing I looked into was the position of the vvt solenoid sprocket. Couldn't really find an answer on it as I didn't know the orientation of it before. Now I have installed everything and am wondering if it was wrong...

Might just be that I strictly use my phone but I can't ever find stuff it seems. I have downloaded most of the shop manuals to my phone but it loads it sort of slow. Is there a method to which shop manuals (1,2,3,4,6 etc...) are for what purposes? I mean I assumed that info would've been in the...

Do remember the bolt location for this @Sho because I am about to install the TC lol

I finally made some progress on my engine and got the head installed and torqued down. Small note- If you look closely the cross hatch is still good even at 30k miles!! (that's when you know your builder did a good job building it all)** Got the cam caps all installed and torqued to...
