Does that mean KA's are piggy or VQ's are slim?

Well it has to do with material, KAs are cast iron (I think, cant remember) VQs are aluminum.

wow you did a fantastic job id really like to learn how to do all that stuff. im actually trying to learn as much as i can about rebuilding cars from body to mechanics

lazysk8er2 · 08-22-2009, 05:42 PM

yea i was thinking with all the electronics and all the piping n stuff and the seats and bodykit and all that nonsense ya know like how it could perform in the end...its def gonna be amazing looking tho

onabulletride · 08-22-2009, 05:52 PM

any updates coming soon? this is an awesome build.

SinisterSntra91 · 08-23-2009, 12:16 PM

Finished piping the wastegate return pipe. That completes the piping for the turbo setup minus the blow off valve which I will add later. Motor will be pulled soon to start shaving the engine bay and prepping the chassis for paint. Here are some final shots of the turbo setup:

Na we planned for that, thus the reason we used all the v-band flanges, its all easy to remove and install.

Cannot wait to see this badboy in action!

The heat of the turbo is not going to mess with anything?

It's coming along aint it.

Feels like yesterday we were sitting in your kitchen talking about what we needed to make it work! Now look how things have developed! Keep keeping on mang, you know I'm here when you need any step of the way! Golf claps to B and Sparks. Mike, things will def get better here soon. I'll text you guys

We are all in awe, and its fun experiencing the potential that we all have. I think next summer will be good for this crew... See, even Zach is in awe lol... he said he was under there for 20 minutes.

SinisterSntra91 · 09-02-2009, 06:23 PM

Got my JDM S14 Zenki Rear Valances in from Japan today, used, but in mint condition, when I saw them I had to snag them up. Im going to be using Zenki rear bumper, valnces and side skirts, I think it will flow better with the S15 front and greddy lip.

OBEEWON · 09-03-2009, 06:27 AM

Its hard for me to look at this regularly. Im so impatient.

xplicit240 · 09-03-2009, 07:00 AM

its like watching a series on HBO. i wanna see all of it in one shot.

xtheenderx · 09-03-2009, 09:52 AM

hmm... and here i thought it was like The Sopranos. Just when it gets good, it's the end. Eh, same thing :/

SinisterSntra91 · 09-08-2009, 05:18 PM

Today I got my VQ30 block in, it was all nasty dirty that wouldnt do for what I wanted to do with it. So I took it to a guy I know who sand blasted everything for me:

All clean and ready for paint. I painted it a almost chrome color. Then I assembled it:

My last piece of furniture ill buy for my new crib for awhile my VQ30 powered coffee table. I know its not the VQ35 but its essentially the same and alot cheaper to purchase lol.
