Wow, been a while since I posted in the 2GS forum but had to say something here...

This is the most exciting mod thread I've read in ages. DCMango, thanks for all the exciting updates and the pictures. Just awesome, and we're all pulling for you to have a successful conclusion to all your commitment and hard work!

This is how my car sits right now and it's been like this since......HIN -




Here's a hint on how my interior will look like -








My new fuel rail! A -10 inlet, next to it is a RB25DET HKS fuel rail. You guys can see a SIZE difference -

Not sure what's up with CL, but quite a few of my posts were deleted and not sure why.

My HP goals are to be right around 500rwhp right off of the back, with 700+ in the future. I wanted to be chasis/year/motor specific, hence why I selected the VVTI version of the motor. I am sure the most of you know that I will not be able to hold as much power as I'd like, but we will see how much this motor will make before I go none VVTI.

As for the intercooler, well, the one that I currently have on the car is an actual GReddy Aristo complete FMIC kit. For you guys that have not read through the whole thread, well, things have changed quite a lot since the beginning of the build, well, the same goes for the complete motor setup. I will run this IC setup for now, but I will eventually (SOON) have to upgrade.
