I wish you all the luck. It's just that, you can't blame me for being a skeptic when no pics are posted. I'm from NY...if you aren't a skeptic then you just got burned.
I remember a guy who did an r32 conversion complete w/ the dash and AWD system into a Jetta and he posted pics along the entire build. It was the most popular thread on VWVortex.
BTW..I'm married to Brooke Burke.
Good luck with your build.

Exactly. Like I promised before as soon as its stops raining around here, northern illinois I will go pick up my car and print all the charts and scan them in for everyone and thursday I will post my time slips after I go to the track weds night.
As far as picture I believe nate took a few but I tend to be more of a worker and get things done than take pictures of every step of the way.

They dropped it in a Skyline R32 GTR though.

isn't ps even less than crank... also, that motor is an ITB setup with completely different purposes. I doubt that engine can rev as high as 9k...
can't really say "well, it's making more at X rpm" but what is that engine making at 7500? 8000? etc.
also, he's still got supporting systems to change out, the exhaust is possibly a restriction, etc.

No, haven't thought about how to improve on it let as i haven't even gotten a chance to go get it yet since he finished tuning it. Been reaining terrible here since yesterday and kinda busy at home right now. But I am going to union grove weds night to see what happens. Supposed to rain through tuesday here but weds be very nice. So I am definetely going to the drag strip weds night.
