The turbo is finished and now on with the tuning...
Hey, this is Joseph Davis, posting under Todd's account... using his computer. Been spending the day on Todd's GS-R, here's what we've gotten done to day.
First, we had to modify the DSM 450cc to be non-OBD specific as we had no OBD0 clips.
Test fitted the manifold + Precision SC61
We all love Ken @ cheapturbo, but he sent four bolt turbine flanges instead of five bolt ones. Here in the trailerpark, we don't really worry about ---- like that.
Todd got the wastegate flange positioned, ported, and welded on...
While I humped the downpipe. (Todd is forcing me to post this pic of my ugly mug)
Tomorrow we finish his water-air IC...
... buy the coolant circulation pump ($20 MallWart junk), and set up the AC condensor as a radiator for the water-air coolant, and finish the install.
:>

Re:w00t! What I did today
Awesome work... you stayed about as busy as I did today 
Feels good to come in, take a nice shower, get a nice cold drink (dr pep), maybe some ice cream.. watch TV, chat on HMT.. fun fun
btw, I like the air/water setup... make sure you get some pics up of that when it's done.. I had the same idea with the AC condensor... think it will work good?

You made that? Nice work man. Seriously. It looks like a Lovefab manifold. He sells one that look like that for $500 plus shipping. http://www.lovefab.com/
Anyways, good luck with it. Everything looks nice. Post more pics when it's done.
