Don't worry I gently placed them there. Thanks man, I'm running a 90 because it had a 90 in it when I first got it, so all I did was switch pins 6 and 14 if I remember correctly because they were never switched, then sent the 90 to get chipped and socketed.

You driving this thing to the shootout? Would be good to see several GVR4s there. I'll be driving mine if the military will allow me the time off.

Is Mike at FIST doing the motor build?

Not gonna lie that is a nice build. Glad to see quality parts going into it.

Nice! What type of numbers are you shooting for?

I don't think the reman'd Mitsu alternators and starters are as good as the originals, after hearing of others' luck with them having as many issues as some of the regular parts stores varieties. I'm pretty sure they don't come from Japan. If they were that good, I'd purchase those over the Bosch units I run. That said, all the other new OE parts are awesome.

That is an awful nice pile of parts. The shootout is getting close Mike, get your game face on!

So what turbo are you using with this setup? What are your power goals? So many nice things there, you should share

Currently I'm still on my EVO 3, orginally I wanted to get the Hta68 right before the shootout but I'm realizing I'm running out of money fast and I still need to budget for the trip. Powe goal is a healthy 500 to the wheels with a/c and daily driver status still just like it is right now. =)

Mike,

Kudos to you for sticking with this, that car is really going to be nice when it is finished ... speaking of which, I didn't see an exhaust in that pile of parts

Lol Actually I was Thinking of taking it all off and just going the whole trip with open downpipe, but I don't know. I don't wanna attract alot of cops attention during the big trip. Plus I like how quiet that muffler is that's on it and still 3 inches. I've driven my 1g around with open exhast like that for like 7 or 8 years so I can def handle the loudness, but like I said I just don't wanna attract the unwanted attention, but who knows, I might just do it anyways

Mike,

Before you put that Fluidampr on make sure you bolt it to your OEM pulley and check the timing marks line up!

Yeah it may not be an issue if that's a recently manufactured one as I think that they have rectified the issue, but Brian had a dud one and so did I. If it is a bad one and you don't catch it before you put it on, you can't tell easily just by looking and you end up setting the timing over and over, only to find the car runs like crap!

Didn't even notice that...inquiring minds wants to know.
