That all depends on how you drive it and initial condition of the parts. With a heavy foot on the street and moderate track time through the year , you should easily get two plus years at this power level

NA-T is certainly the way to go tho.

Well a little update guys, today I went to put a payment on the rims and the guy told me that the set he was gonna sell me was bent from the hub, so there was no fixing, BUT he has a similar set but a diff brand, I think it's hpr or something, same wheel the only thing is that he only has 3 of them, so as soon as he finds the 4th one he'll get back to me, also i'm starting to think I have a bad head gasket, I dont know if it's overheating or not because my temp needle isn't plugged in, but once the car warms up I hear the same noise I used to hear when my antifreeze was low, but the radiator's filled, and yesterday my overfill tank was bubbling, I set up an appointment at the shop so they can check it free of charge, and i'm waiting on my guy to let me know the shipping for my w58 so I can order it, so as soon as I figure out whats going on with the gaskets and such, i'm gonna upgrade my cooling system (bigger radiator, better waterpump, and toyota red) and then I can statt boosting and doing bodywork

Shops are about profits. If they let you see and pick what you're getting then you're more likely to buy. Unless you really do just want to see haha

Well today I changed my sparkplug, old head spanish dude helped me cuz I lack some tools, egr valve is dirty as shh inside, sparkplug 2 and 5 were full of oil, I was told I need a valve cover gasket, also inside the manifold, everything was dark and grainy like covered in mud, also the car had some cheap *** plugs, autolite brand, here's a pic

Autolite FAIL! What did you put in? Hopefully NGK.

Also, if you have some oil on plugs, probably a good chance you need some valve cover gaskets.
In order to get rid of the mud like stuff, is to either take off the intake manifold completely and have it hot tanked *which still probably wont take it all off* Or take it off and use a can of brake parts cleaner. Or a parts washer lol. Any of the above will help. Seafoam through the vacuum line will also help-a lot.

EGR is obviously pretty easy to replace.

Looks like the car is coming along, and i'm glad you're taking care of her! Good to do maintainence!

The tube seals are leaking. You'll get new ones with a vcg set. And I agree with ^ about you hopefully putting in ngk or denso. I've had autolites fail cause a misfire right out of the box. I won't install them unless a customer asks for them and even then I advise against it. Looks like your project is coming along real well ^.^

Yes sir! Ngk platinum I think, such a difference, my car was backfiring every minute with those cheap plugs, i'm not worried bout the manifold cuz i'm hoping to get the ffim, but the valve cover gasket, dude told me I should have already had it so I coulda saved time, ill get it soon thi

ceegeeaye

What brand was the kit again? And can you share where you bought it from so i maybe could grab one?

m1k3yg

I think it's a duraflex, admire front bumper or admiration, front and rear, cyber 1 skirts, I got it off a cl member cuz he had it laying around in his garage, I can take some pics of the kit but I can't put it on yet lol

ceegeeaye
