Just wanted to let everyone know how great it's been working w/ GTM on my lil turbo project. Mike@GTM has taken time out of his day numerous times to help me make this project a reality. Today he stayed late and put the Stg II. s/c engine mount up on the website so I and others can place orders on it. I'm looking to run a bigger diameter boost pipe from the turbo to intercooler and "maybe" running an intake system forward from the turbo to the front bumper. GTM's engine mount design is perfect for my needs. I've been holding off doing my clutch so I can accomplish all of this at one time. Part is now ordered and I'm pumped, should have a lot more results after I break the clutch in.

Pics of the mount and the amount of room it clears up!

Still have the broken Z. With the motor ticking, clutch sticking (assuming master cylinder), and the steering lock (my light was on 3 days this week), I'm ready for something new. I just bought a daily today...so now I can really start looking

Now I live through you

Damn man, no luck at all. My steering lock acted up on me once, I punched it and it hasn't messed w/ me since! I won't let you down..... new turbo manifold design coming soon, I'm going to run dual wastegate setup, smaller diameter piping, maybe a diff turbo size.....I'm going to try and build the bottom end before years end as well! Keep us posted on what you get into!

Quicker Spool > Top End. Hell my car should be in the 550-575whp range on pump but boost should come quick! I honestly wanted to go 9.0:1 compression but didn't want to wait for custom pistons.

What piston ratio you at? 8:5:1? I'm looking @ doing the 9:0:1 w/ carrillo rods, HKS or Cosworht Head gasket, APR fastners!

Yeap... CP 96mm 8.5:1 w/ PolyDyn coatings, Cosworth rods, Cometic head gaskets, L19 ARP head studs. Go back to my first post in my build thread to see everything.

Yea, wasn't sure if you listed the ratio, I ran those same pistons in my 350. I want to use CP again. Your build is beast.
