suspension is almost all together.  I did change my mind on some things on the engine though.  I'm just going to go ahead and use the E6 manifold instead of the ATR header.  I don't have time to keep screwing with that ATR.

I know others who feel the same way.

It's looking great. GO! GO! GO!  LOL

PITA to get any bolts in!  And with my track record of blowing head gaskets, I don't want to deal with it.

That, and they tend to crack.

I do plan on building another header next winter anyway, so I can get by with a ported e6 for now.  I did fix the atr, but at this point I think I'm going to put it up for sale.

Got the engine partway there.  Got new bearings spun in, and the head on, Cam swapped out, but I need to order new lifters with modified housings so they will get oil correctly :facepalm:

What turbo are you running?

That combo screams for a T3/T04E .50 stage 3 or a Holset HX35!

I really am a fan of a fairly stock build with a little cam and those turbo's. Of course autocross might work better with less punch at boost onset from a smaller compressor wheel.

at this point its a stock .48 T3.  It might get a holset next winter, but at this point there just isnt enough done to the head to support the holset.  I thought about a ebay turbo with a rebuild right off the bat, but thats something that can happen later also.  I should be able to get plenty of boost right off the bat to get out of corners where my other car always struggled.  I havent been able to make heads or tails out of compressor maps so that makes figuring out turbos a little difficult.

You might be surprised how well that combo will do without doing any more to it. I just put valve springs and a Stinger header and got 288 HP and 322 TQ with engine management and a Porsche intercooler on pump gas.

Your turbo will work great for autocross. Mine was to laggy for that. Good at the drags, though!
