MORE WEIGHT REDUCTION
Last time N/A motor was dyno'd, it put down 157 whp and 112 ft/lbs (Motor, intake, and exhaust. At that time the car had the A/C and the Power Steering in it, which have now been removed)
Best track time was a 14.8 @93 with wheel hop and spin. That was just the motor with weight loss. No interior in the back and no passenger seat.
Turbo stats... Not up to date... Retune will happen soon
Got the car tuned with the B16 setup, at 9 psi it was putting down decent power. 235 whp and 174 ft/lbs on a 50 trim turbo. Then I blew up the B16 block in a way. So now I upgraded to the GSR block, and upgraded the intake manifold and a few other thigns and we'll see where the car goes this time...
Car still needs to be re-weighed.
A few pics...

Wheel whoring...
always good to see shots that show the progress
Can't go wrong with a black hatch.
