Well as some of you may have read i was hearing pinging noises from my motor, sound like bouncing metal. We removed the head, pull the oil pan, and drained oil and there wasnt a single spec of metal to be found, we took the head to the shop that made it and they said it wasnt tensioned properly and one of the valves was bent. Seeing as how they just built the dam thing under 4k miles ago they are replacing the valve and fixing for free. While the head is off im taking advantage of the situation and putting on a cosmetics head gasket. Along with this i just ordered a complete greddy emanage system including the profec e-01 and a remote switching system. Heres my mod list

D16z6
Sport sleeves
JE 9.1 Pistons
Eagel Rods
Comp turbo cam shaft
Crower Valves "ferrera"
Springs "crane"
Retainers
ARP headstuds
Ported & Polished
3 Angle valve Job
MSD BTM
MSD BLASTER COIL
JG CAM GEAR
Pullys
Focuz intake manifold
Alum flywheel
ACT clutch
Underdrive pulley

255 fuel pump- BBK
Vafc--being sold
AVC-R Boost Controller--being sold
Aem FPR
Vortech Fmu---being sold
Greddy Fuel Box---sold

Greddy 15G turbo kit
Greddy FMIC
Greddy blow off
2.5" downpipe
Greddy Turbo Timer
Greddy oil catch can
Greddy a/f Guage
Greddy Boost Guage
Greddy catback exhaust
high flow cat
Mandercoil plug wires
Greddy spark plugs
Optima red top battery (located in back)

e-manage system w/all accessory's
profec e-01
remote switching system
and a cosmetics head gasket

im having it tuned at 10psi daily, looking for 200-220whp and my high boost setting is going to be 15psi which im hoping for between 250-275whp. I cant wait to get all this installed, remote switching system should be a fun option to play with jumping from 10psi to 15psi from a button

Next mod will be sell sell the greddy kit and get my hands on a t3/t4 etc.

FYI the BBK fuel pump is really just a Walbro. It says Walbro right on it.

i would run 15 low 20 high but the damm greddy 15g turbo loses its efficiency after like 250whp, so i figure i would shoot for 250-270whp. I dont wanna overspool the turbo and i think 300whp would be to much for the 15g, so for now im tuning for 200-220 daily and 250-270 high boost "for the domestic folk". Im going to get saving for a t3/t4 w/sst manifold but that wont be for a couple of months.

That's a pretty sweet setup !!

I saw my friends greddy 15G off the car for the first time the other day and its WAY smaller than my TD04L-13T !! I think it could see some nice gains by porting the turbine housing too, its just crazy small, almost as small ( physically ) as my TD04-9Bs that came off my stealth, and they are normally refered to as "doughnut turbos".

I bet its going to be crazy fast, even with the greddy !!! But you'll prob. kick yourself for not using a T3/T4 sooner after to switch to a bigger/better turbo.

Good luck !!

I just got my emanage complete system and my profec e-01 in the mail today.

Im dropping it off at the shop tomarrow, im hoping to have everything done in a week but realistically i think it wont be another 10 days before it might be done. We are still getting the head stuff taken care of and next thing is to install all this profec/emanage stuff but i still need to order the remote switching system and need to find where to order this "optional signal harness for the system"

It should be decently quick for a small greddy turbo, i cant wait to get it all done, the track opens the 20th of this month but my car wont be done in time and im gonna take it easy for te first week or so until all the kinks are gone. My next thing to do in a few weeks after all this is done is to buy a bigger fmic and then save for a t3/t4, 3" downpipe and a sst manifold. My current fmic isnt eye candy and has too many bent fins for my liking. My next intercooler is going to be the johnny race car itnercooler and im going to have it anodized black.
