Plans for this are still in place..... work has just been INSANE lately, so no time for car fun stuff at all

I think that would be a cool swap... I definitely know the pains of hard to source parts

Cool sounding project man! Glad you were able to get the pinouts you needed. I would definitely be interested in seeing the progress on this car..... you can post pictures here by using an external image hosting site such as www.postimage.org. You basically upload your file(s) and then it give you f...

Nice numbers, that thing must be a beast now

that didn't take long! lol :lol: good result mate, that would be fun to drive :) haha you have no idea.... it is VERY fun lol Sometimes a little scary too! Soo just wanted to say that I'm changing the setup on the Optra a little bit.... My goal is for 200whp on the small CT12B turbo. To achieve thi...

Comparisons at 0.400" for intake /exhaust on other 2.0L engines Exist3nce stock U20SED = 193 /174 Exist3nce ported U20SED= 211/190 Saab B202 (old ) = 153 /160 Saab B202 (new) = 182 /165 C20XE sabre = 196 /166 Ecotec = 204 /152 Subaru EJ20 =151/111 Very interesting comparisons.... Too bad we don't k...

$150 per cylinder does seem quite high to me... Not sure if this helps any, but I did get my U20SED head flowed in late 2009. Heres the stock and ported numbers... (copied from my build thread) **All values are in CFM Intake Lift------ Before---After 0.100"------88------100 0.200"-----156-----172 0....

I'm still alive and kicking too.... I check on here about once a week or so.. My Optra is still going too with only regular maintenance for the time being... Although its use is split between my Lexus IS300 and company car now (Nissan Rogue). I have noticed too that activity here has slowly declined...

So I just wanted to update you all on what I've been up to lately..... I've done a build on my IS300 motor and upped the boost and power some :) New Setup: GT4088R 0.95 AR AMS EMS v1 Wiseco custom pistons 9.5CR Factory SupraTT Rods ACL Race bearings Ported/Polished head and manifolds Brian Crower 26...

LOL nice first post.... I've been around here for a while (altho not as active these days due to a new project car). So it sounds like you are a handling guy which is cool. I have KW V3 coilovers and have been to a few track events, but am not really a true handling fanatic. I enjoy power and accele...

Very creative project... Did you change turbos just because you could? or was there something wrong with the first one?

Wow those are some impressive cars.... wish they had some specs about the transmissions!

hmm so no restriction intake + reasonably large exhaust made 107... doesn't look good for the magic 136hp with just bolt ons. mine must be making about 80whp with the 1.75" exhaust and dodgy leganza intake! hahaha Well yes proportionally large exhaust for an NA car, but don't forget the restriction...

Nice pics.. keep the progress coming

My stock U20SED made 107whp when I had to temporarily take off the turbo to be rebuilt. Keep in mind this dyno run was done with an open throttle body (no intake piping at all) and the exhaust housing of the turbo was left in place (just removed the CHRA), 3" downpipe and 2.5" catback. This is to sa...
