Hey guys, After a couple of years as a dyno/street car i finally got around to putting a 4link and glide into my car a few months ago. On only it's second full power run and to be honest some pretty average driving i managed the 9.334 with a 1.41 60ft. The car went much faster than we were expecting as it still runs a Std R34 Neo bottom end, A huge thank you to Kyle from 6boost for all your advice over the years and all the boys here at Mercury for helping with the build. Specs on car as follows R34 Bottom end (up opened) R34 Head std other than a quick tidy up exhaust ports 272 9.6mm cams 12mm L19 head studs 6boost mailfold Gt4508 in GT42 housings 60mm Turbosmart Progate Plazmaman Plenum and t/body Std Fuel rail / high flow r33 injectors 2jz coil packs Motec M84 Motec CDI 8 Makes 650hp on 27psi + a 75shot of gas Runs 50/50 pump/CSR E85 new injectors soon and i'll be on 100% E85 Prontrans Glide 9 inch Mcdonals bros lower and upper udjustable arms Qa1 two way adjustable coil overs 255/60R15 Et Streets I am looking forward to the next few months pulling some more weight out of the car and getting back to the track to try and break into the 8's with a std rb bottom end.

Lot's of fuel pressure can make any injector big. Also this is the reason why it still runs a 50:50 pump fuel mix This has been a development car for me to really push all of the standard nissan components, just started out as a bit of a joke, lets put this massive turbo on a std engine. Didn't ever think i would be still running the same engine almost 2 yrs later, let alone run the time it has. Pics posted just waiting for a Mod to clear them Here's the Youtube link for anyone that interested First one is the burnout http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&v=vV0IW78JLu4 An here's the run http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nV1ni0OfbGw Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
