Good job Marc, hard work always pays off. This is a top quality build, I approve :P

With how your car is tuned it'll last a long ******* time, and btw you owe me a ride big time!!!

First Josh's car is running, now your car, I NEED MY CAR to run!!!

[nelsonmxmarc]

Haha thanks guys!

Mitch I owe you a lot more than a ride! lol been a great help through all of this man, honestly.. This guy drove an hour out of his way to eliminate my MAF issue.. So epic..
I hope it lasts! I've been abusing it all night!

Absolutely relieved/happy right now.. Few minor things to do then it's on to winter 2012

[sunnypatz]

sweet numbers brah, cant wait to see it at the track!

[nelsonmxmarc]

They're okay.

It IS an RB20 .. So i mean it has its limits .. 350 @ 23 psi .. but it's not worth the push on those internals and like i said; reliability > performance now, especially after ALL this work lol.

I'm not gonna lie, i've been working on my next build sheet -

Water meth
Newly designed intake plenum to reduce the runner size and narrow plenum
Debating the flow rate of the stock sidemount exhaust manifold.. Maybe go with something tubular and equal length.

And that's it.. lol - at least in terms of RB20 work. RB23 is kind of on hiatus. I'm worried the head wont flow enough to take advantage of the bottom end work.

SR20 (thanks... Pat and Mitch.. fml) looks to be the next big build.. But engine work at this point is a joke, its just a matter of money. The car is DONE in terms of everything else, so an engine swap is a matter of swapping a few wires on the wiring harness and plopping it in there..

And SR20 > RB26 only because A. it's original.. B. it's lighter.. C. It's readily available and parts are a 1/4 the price. I can build a 500 whp SR for much less than a big single rb26, and still have more torque.

fml..

Maybe ill bag a vdub instead (tyler...)

[archaeic_bloke]

hahah nice dig at the member formally known as TW! lol

congrats man!, we all had faith in you that you could do it! even during last weeks, uhm.. dark times.now lets go driving!

[nelsonmxmarc]

Oh Tyler...

Hahah yes, the last few weeks have been VERY dark times, but i am certainly content with the outcome.. Hard to see through all the bs but when it's all said and done, it's certainly well worth the trouble.

Drives/photoshoot very soon!

Marc I just got some sweet news man, my engine I'm prolly putting in this weekend and will have the car on the road within the next 2 weeks! I think I will have to come down and visit now that I will finally have a damn car again.
