I'm looking forward to your results. I'm still debating on going single or twin when my time comes. How big of a turbo do you think would fit with this kit?

You can go up to a 67mm turbo. I linked a youtube video in my build thread with a supra making 800whp with the 67mm turbo on E85.

The blower is at 928 motorsports right now being rebuilt with the impeller upgrade. I've been tossing the idea around in my head for a turbo kit. Just need to pull my resources together for a built motor first. Up until now I was considering the Powerlab kit, but this kit is starting to grow on me. I'm just so impressed with how all the welds came out.

it is a great kit! Id highly recommend it. engine bay temps will stay low... AC will work and no need to wrap it...downpipe is nice and short and can be changed in manner of min.. etc etc

haha I think he might get to the same situation as I am. the way his welds look. Im sure he will either A) not trust anyone to put the same attention AND detail into the kits as him or

B) Have a hard time finding the right person to train to build these things the way he is

I have allot of people tell me the same thing back in 240sx forums about hiring people his work is very clean and can definetly compete with mine i say stick to the one man show and if anything have your wife handle the emails, and orders so you have more time for technical assistance and working on the kits! they look really good so far

BINGO!

To be honest, I would not trust anybody to do my oil changes. Not even on my POS DD.

This will remain as a one person operation. Things will pick up in the winter and I will be able to put much more time towards this. Up here the summers are short, with two kids we love to get out and do as much camping as possible.

ya, at most i could maybe see sasah finding someone statesize to get basic parts that are heavy and expensive to ship and just have them shipped out or do some billing stuff. The making of the kits will definitely be all him since that's his trade.

Shipping of parts could be done but it would have to be a well trusted individual for him. Might save some on shipping costs that way depending how much the other person gets of the cut.

sorry, OT

vas, get it done man!
