So I finally got my harness back from Yury last Friday, who did a perfect job on it, I had to work out a few bugs such as timing, rough idle, and discharged batteries from several cranks, then I went for my 1st ride in it today. I really went soft on the gas for my 10 mile test drive, I began the 500 mile SPEC Stage 3 clutch break-in. It was so tempting to run it hard but I never let it see past 4K rpms. HKS SSQV BOV sounds really sweet, I didn't expect the stuttered venting sound, I was expecting a high pitched whistle sound, but I guess maybe thats at full-boost. Anyway, Nismo motor mounts are VERY solid and it feels like the motor is directly attached to the chassis. Almost stalling out was very very rough. I have to work out a way for the cooling fans to not blow the cigarette lighter fuse it is attached to, or think of another source for hookup. But all in all, its been a long progress, well worth it, and I give my thanks to Johnathan for all of his help. He definetely knows his shit! As for parts, Id like to thanks Phase2, Heavy Throttle, Enjuku, and my team TSF at www.thespeedfactor.com.
