my cams have over 11mm lift, 272 hks cams are 9.3!
anything over about 9.5-9.7mm lift makes the 2J an interference motor so i need bigger valve releifs then the norm

the braided hose ends (speedflow 10X numbers) should be used with the braided hose only.
the push on rubber hose ends (speedflow 40x numbers) should be used with the rubber hose only.
This is the type of thing we love to see, I'm so glad you stuck with it Troy, i certainly remember a few headaches along the way - but persistence is the key and look at how it's paying off!
HELL YES!

well all my fitings are the screw on except a cuple
i might just get braided hose and offload the rubber hose
its the good speedflow blue stuff so should be able to get rid of it
just hope i can get the hose out of the fittings lol

Anyone knows when building a car its all well and good to have a set plan, but budget, time, and goals do change.
What would u like to see out of it troy, hp, mph and ET?
Nice turbo, when you finished with it send it my way ,
they have a 79mm front wheel and a prototype garret rear wheel from one
of garrets race programs from a few yrs ago. If it doens't run 9's on pump
i will supply some of Bp's finest 98 and a match
Looks horn , can't wait to see it finished
cheers
darren

shhhh Darren lol
its not quite 79mm but damn close
haha yes it shouldnt have anytrouble running 9s on PUMP and at pretty low boost
haha you should buy 1 off Larry lol, i honestly think they are a bit expensive if you pay full price but i didnt lol
as for what im after with it
9s on pump would be a good start, as for HP, who knows what it will do
ive got some figures in mind but have no idea what it will make
would also like to get into the 150mph+
also, as far as im concerned, its something different that not every1 has so im happy with it and cant wait to finally drive the damn thing!
