    Got the head back from the machine shop the other day. Looks good, most of the work was done on the intake side, with a little bit of smoothing out on the exhaust side. For those wondering the new springs came from a nissan KA24. Head bolts were not changed out. For those curious what the torque is with the manual spec 24.5 nm + 180 degrees. It amounts to only about 35lb ft of torque or close to. I increased this number just a tiny bit.

    Okay guys, turbo was a success! I got the first test hits in today. I ended up going with a Borg k03 as my ebay turb was leaking oil and I just didn’t trust it. If you want to see the full build look me up on instagram @dirtgeartv

    Is it working better than your SC?
    Simplify and add lightness.

    There is a brief video from the first outing I posted today on my instagram @dirtgeartv

    It’s running great! I have the wastegate as low as it would go and it’s seems to be hitting 6 psi as early as 2800rpm and hold 6 to redline. Makes some sick turbski noises too! I popped one of the axles so testing has to be put on hold, but soon i’ll get to turning the wastegate up and send her to the moon 😂
