Another G getting the boost
Like the title says, I am going boost, I planned this roughly 4-5 months ago. Its been a long process, but should be done within a few weeks if nothing gets rushed or ruined. I am doing this with a friend who has some mechanical knowledge and myself who has some. How hard could it be right? Haha. Well the engine is out and waiting for me to swap the heads to the built block. That should be done by the end of this week and next week I will begin mounting all the good stuff. Here is what my build is:
GTM Stage 0 Block
GTM Stage 2 Twin Turbo Kit
-intercooler, bovs, test pipes and what not
GTM Return Fuel System
GTM Intake Plenum
Head gasket
800CC Fuel Injectors
HKS FCON Vpro Engine management
Upgraded Radiator, Trans Cooler, Engine Oil Cooler, Catch can, Hoses
Exedy Stage 2 Carbon Clutch
Thats about all I can remember, if I forgot anything important let me know or if you have any comments/suggestions, please let me know. Ill post some pictures this weekend.

Haha, I am not really sure. I just asked Sam if he had something instead of using an SSV and he said they have their own version that will work well with my setup. I want to maintain a stock look in case I need to pop the hood.
Its like $60, the car is in pieces, might as well throw it in since it will only extend the life of the tranny.

Why in the hell would you get a trans cooler for a 6mt.There is no pump in the trans to pump the fluid thru the lines to the cooler and there is no need unless they are going to run a seperate pump which to me is stupid.How are you gonna have a powerfull enough pump to move the fluid....its friggen thick gear oil...and the pump would probably take up half the trunk.

I just ordered it since it was $60. Sam never said to get it. But if you are running 800hp, I won't go through the hassle of setting it up. My moms RX330 has one and that car only has like 250hp so I figured it wouldn't hurt.
