Looks great. Nice job.
that bay is so tight, that was a feat to get it to fit, let alone work.
Where did you get the guage cluster for the dash ? Custom ?

Awesome ride!
There's an 8th gen in my town that's got a nearly identical turbo setup. Sounds like a monster!

Really ? I would definitely be interested in seeing what some one else put down # wise. although if its an 8th im pretty sure its an SI(K20Z3) and not the base model ex,ex-l,lx,dx (R18A1)
I have not found any one in the US that has built an R18 only people i have come across are Russians (R18A2) with CP Pistons/Manly Rods and all running GT2860RS making 325 PS = ~ 300whp but all of them under 1 bar (~14 psi).
To my knowledge i am the first person to SLEEVE an R18, thanks to the help of Golden Eagle Manufacturing. Although it has just taken utterly and entirely too long of a custom project. But i do understand no company releasing a product till they are satisfied it meets their Standards. My plans are to run 1.5-3.5 bar (25-45psi) Maxing out the 5857 jb PTE Precision Turbo.

Yes they do I am expecting big gains from they're work, as well as this is the first R18 head they've ever touched. Thanks BTW
