Re: my d16z6 holset vitara build (lots of pics!)
just ordered the Innovative traction bars from Spoolin Performance 
still trying to figure out how im gonna make a downpipe work with only 3 1/8 inches between the bleeder and the exhaust side of the turbo... should be interesting

just a quick update. got the 3" bends to make a downpipe in today, still waiting on my Innovative traction bars, and should have my charge pipe kit and intercooler by this weekend along with a wastegate. hoping to get everything finished this coming weekend and possibly tuned the following weekend.

I'm doing something very similar in my crx. 75.5 vitaras, fjt custom length rods, I just picked up an hx35 with 87k on it. I just hope it'll spool before redline lol! If it doesn't I'll just have to buy the fjt valvetrain kit and spin it to 10k. 
Looking good!!

My traction bars should be here tomorrow after waiting all ------- month. Got about 300 miles on the motor right now just breaking it in n/a. Going to pick up a EX trans tomorrow because i can already tell this DX is gonna murder my 1/4 times. I will be getting it tuned on the 13th if all goes good.

Re: my d16z6 holset vitara build (lots of pics!)
thanks.I think with the DX trans it will fall out of boost between shifts, but we will see because i dont have time to swap out the trans before getting it tuned since i go back to school in a few days and work full time. Not much has changed since im just breaking the motor in stock right now, got about 500 miles on it, but i got the traction bars on and i will probably be building the downpipe, mounting the intercooler and building the charge pipes tomorrow, so ill make sure to snap some pics of that.
