Looks really good. I have been wondering if anyone has ever top-mounted a 16g

With that radiator, it looks like running the water line out of the front of the head would be the easiest route. There's a couple guys that have run with the front outlet without issue. I'm going to try it and see what happens. You can get a kit for $70 at Jay Racing.

yea i have toyed with th idea of doing the front water exit

at the moment though there is too many people saying it isnt a good idea
and the only poeople i have heard doing it are running no thermostat and usually race/rally cars

i need the car to be reliably street driven, it may mean a bit more enginnering not but hopefull should give me worry free cooling

What are your plans for heat shielding on the brake booster?

S0LJAH · Post by **S0LJAH** » Thu Sep 13, 2007 1:17 am

not sure at this stage

the dumppipe and exhaust manifold will both be getting heat wrapped

i may ceramic coat the exhaust turbine hosuing too which should elimintae most problems, but may just leave it as is and see what happens

if not will just make a little sheild

hey guys well she finally goes

specs again:

vr4 4g63t
running big16g tdo5
tial 38mm
560cc evo injectors
link g4 ecu
l200 (d50) gearbox
hilux rear end (locked)
s14 rear brakes
starion coilover front struts and brakes
new bushes tierods etc throughout

so managed to push out 300rwhp at just under 16psi of boost
thats when the clutch started slipping

on wastegate spring pressure of 10psi its making 240rwhp

need a new clutch and gearbox as the 2nd gear synchro is not in good shape (cant select 2nd at all when changing from 3rd or if going hard from 1st to 2nd)

then guna thrash it over our summer and look at a nice w series billhousing as next winters project
