i really want to do a 11:1 compression 84mm Sleeved GSR Build wit a Borg Warner S372 ( But i told Chris about the compression, and he
) i Figured the Compression would help on a 72mm turbo.
soo i donno.

Sorry off topic man. Killer car and killer wife. I wish I could afford half of what you've done to this car. It's a F-IN sweeeet setup and your future plans are wicked and I can't wait to see what future dyno graph you have on the this beast. I'm really impressed with the rebound you had after the mess your car was in after the theft. It helps inspire me to finish my build after all the mess I've had. Good luck with your future progress.

Thanks for the comments. I painted my Bike Sunburst Gold and had a lot of paint left over. So I painted the wheels since NO1 had them at the time and they were considered Ugly. Lol

Yea man , I spent a lott of $ over the years. But I only forked out a good amount the FIRST time ( then I sell when I upgrade and just come out of pocket about 25% of the total build and go bigger).
And doing most of the work myself helps on cost.
When my car was stolen it fucked me up man, I was going to Quit but I got the car back a month later with allllll of the parts ( just off the shell and neatly stacked in a Garage in the Bx). So I started over. I just did only what it took to get it to run , lol I didn't even fix the ignition. For 3 months I went to the track and raced with a broken ignition, I used to start the car with a Pen!
I drove the car to a best ET of 13.6@103mph All Motor. And it just wouldn't go any faster no matter how hard I drove the car.
this is a 13.8 pass ( lol notice what gear i finish the 1/4 mile in)

So ForcedInduction was the next step and I didn't like the idea of having to fill a bottle for $60 a week!
Over time I have had 3-4 different turbo set-ups and now here I am. ( and I am still not 100% happy with this one because it's not sleeved). But I will get there.
I work a lottt and save a lotttt. I actually wanna get my car to the point where I am Happy with the power and the only $$ I'l be spending is fuel and track fee!! ( but that will never happen, one thing I have learned is that the more power u make is the more ---- u will brake). In FWD even the best product will fail eventually.
GoodLuck with your Build.

Update:.. The motor as it sits now, with all clamps and pipeing up.. and the fittings for the ValveCover breather up ( i have to re-locate that catch-can away from the BOV tho). i'd hate to fill it on hi-boost and get oil in my BOV.
and FIRST START UP. lol OPEN TURBO!! little ruff, but will be cleaned up ( on the wideband it was 15:1 at idle and around 10.9:1 - 11.5:1) <~~ good job Chris, not bad for a basemap.
