OK so as most builds go I brought a rolling shell just for the Teins in it (to go in my coupe). Few days later Ive worked out its preety streight/rust free for a 93 and a spec M JDM. by now I couldnt part it ouT and scrap the bare shell so I looked for a cheap motor/box to slap it together, sell her and hopefull not loose to many $$..Found a bent shell with a built auto and stock rb25det (no hot or cold side) for a good price.
Went to check out the condition and inds 260 cams, miles of head work etc... so this build just got a little out of control.

Being a manual shell getting an auto Ive put the auto wireing harness in, from the 2dr donor, and modified it to suit the 4dr.
Most of the body is now sorted, Got S2 front and dash, Coupe Backseat (cleaner look then the 4dr) and the box and short motors in.
Still to fit the Prescission 5858, FFP & Front mount. Sort out a Fuel system and ECU.
Oh and all this is going on in the driveway (got another 10Yr project in the garage lol)

While shes not my first Project shes the first turbo Ive built so its going to be a steep learning cuve so I figure what better place to document everything as I go.... anyway Ill post some more pics if the rain ever stops

So got the turbo in the other day. Manifold was a major pain in the ass but. Still need to get a banjo bolt to hook the oil lines up and blockof or bypass the water feed (precision is oil only) though. Exhaust is in and hooked up

PSteer resivour had to be relocated a bit to clear turbo piping

    • Ok guys thank you very much. GCG highflow it is then 🙂 
    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
