Don't worry you'll be hooked when you get that first "hit" of boost. I had a boosted S14 and I'm dying to boost the SC. But just not sure what motor I wanna go with yet. Once I get it figured out and the stocker goes then it's boost time baby!!

I think modifying the SC is a drug by itself. There is always something to restore or improve on. As for horsepower, if I lived back in Florida I'd have swapped a 400-450hp 1JZ in the car by now.

First off, love your car. Next I agree with you having a SC is worst than drugs! I haven't even began building my car, right now I'm collecting parts-some times I feel like a fiend, especially searching forumns, the junk yards for parts, ebay, craiglist, etc. I can only imagine my addiction once I delve into the engine?? It's good my wife has me on a budget! LOL...

yes it is and no it oil cooled. I have mixed feelings about it because i stepped up to a .91 back housing from the precision .68 so i miss my blistering torque and spool but oddly the borg warner spools faster than my precision t70 but the torque isnt there i must say this, the sound this turbo makes and the endless top end is not making me miss my precision much anymore. it sounds EXACTLY like the HKS t51r turbo, the sound is pure sex. But we'll see how it goes. I bought the borg warner for longevity, im not looking to be one of those guys that rebuilds his turbo constantly and buys an upgrade every year or two and borg warner seems to be the only company that can provide me that luxury.

And thanks to everyone else, its nice to see my work is well received.

Yes I also have a problem, but damn it I may slow down but never stop. The only thing worst then having one car your always work is having 2. Or in my case 3. Money, what money, better spent on my girls than a girl
