And I was under the impression that Bryan had sleeved the block. We had this discussion on CSSU and never got a clear answer from anyone.
Out of curiosity, how much are your sleeves and what do you charge to sleeve a block with your sleeves?

I'm well aware of Paul's. And we both know it died then too.
And I was under the impression that Bryan had sleeved the block. We had this discussion on CSSU and never got a clear answer from anyone.
Was it mapped by Precision though? I'm pretty sure 06black is the one that told me that Precision doesn't release their maps. They've changed up their business a good bit in the last year or two though, so things might have changed. When I bought my HP5557 with billet compressor wheel... it had literally JUST hit the market in the previous 3-6 months. Finding ANY info on it was like pulling teeth.
Ryan's first engine utilized an LNF block, as well. So in all reality, he can be included in that list. Also, Scythe_Snake isn't listed on there, either. His has hit 600whp, but dailies in the mid-500's, iirc.

welcome to the world of turbo conversions. Stuff isn't just basic bolt ons anymore so you gotta expect some things to go wrong from time to time.

dont loose faith man. we are all there from time to time. my car is so great right now but it took months to get here. had something come up just today. I get spark blow out on cold mornings (40~ deg F) I have to regap my plugs to .028 but when its warmed up its awesome from idle to 7200. I am just getting used to shifting at 7K. It feels weird and I am always waiting for something to pop. But I am also trying to take it easy for the first 500 miles. Its worth it just take your time. This is why you should have a back up vehicle for times you need to work something out. I can tell you though it feels so good to jump in the car and know its going to run great everyday. Its taken me 4 months to get here.

Hmm so if I were to get the turbo adapter, what would I need besides the turbo, wastegate, bov, exhaust manifold, and downpipe? I'm very new to the turbo world so excuse my noobiness lol
