Why do you have to get the MoTeC M600?

LOL. I suggest going to z1auto.com and buying an Electromotive TEC3R for ~$2800. HKS FCON V Pro is ~$300 more after you get all of the accessories. That's the route i'm planning on taking, just need to find someone that is willing to do some wiring and knows how to tune.

The Electromotive Tec 3 is a GREAT unit for stand alone management but is going to cost you a FORTUNE in wiring. Getting the HKS Fcon V pro and accessories is going to be the most cost effective proven way to do a standalone. Not to mention if you spring for the A/F knock amp you can do target AFR tuning which takes a TON of guess work out of it. This is the way I will be doing mine when I swap over to a built motor.

I haven't done much research on the HKS but I will do so now. In all honesty I thought both were around the same price but now that I see it the $$$ for the HKS it is, I think I can fit it into my budget.

If I remember correctly, Jhame is the designer of the turbonetics ST kit correct?

Just a few pics of the new Koyo radiator, nothing anyone on the forum hasn't seen before . The Pauter rods should be shipping out this week but I'll probably wait for the pistons before I send them out to get cryo treated.

I'll post pics of the entire valvetrain+cams after the cryo treatment, which leaves them with a goldish color...I just need to get it all unwrapped.

Well here is some more for ya MIA

As you can see, after the cryo treatment the cams, springs, and valves all have a goldish tint to them, but I was told that it comes off once they are cleaned up before install.

I wasn't expecting the ARP bolts to come in until next week but UPS dropped them off today

Now all I'm waiting for are the Pauter Rods and the pistons before I send the bottom end to get cryoed...it's just a matter of deciding on which pistons I'm going to go with.

GREATTTTTT CAR ****!!!!!


Well the Xtreme Duty ones that Sharif sells are on my list for sure. I would certainly be happier dealing with a little piston slap during warm up then a broken ringland on my forged pistons later...
