    Custom headers, waste gate and turbo are installed. The engine should be running on the test stand already but I have a EC wiring harness issue I cannot figure out.

    The fan is close to completion, just needs some touch up, painting and balancing.

  5. This is a serious question. Why are people from Canada more friendly than Americans. I have a life long buddy who moved to Toronto 8ish years ago, have visited several times, and have never once met an asshole. I walk out my front door and all I see are jerk offs. Weird.

  6. And as far as hobbies, in the summer I play golf. Which leads me to another question pertaining to Canada. I throw right handed, bat left handed. I play golf left handed. There is a far higher percentage of left handers in Canada than America. The only explanation I've ever been given for this is that Canadian's are much more into hockey than Americans. A left handed hockey player shoots to the goalies stick side, rather than glove side, which is a higher percentage scoring shot. I was told kids are taught by their parents to "bat" or "shoot" from the left side at an early age. Not sure how much truth their is behind this, but it's interesting.

    In the winter, I train with primarily free weights and set a goal for body weight. I eat healthy, which can be considered a hobby when cooking, and I set attainable lifting goals, ie.amount of weight I can lift, and amount of lean muscle weight I can put on. At the end of the year if I don't like the results, I restructure my goals accordingly.

    I'd never even heard of it until now. So I looked it up, it's not nearly powerful enough for what I need.

    Originally I had planned on 400HP or so but now plan to boost the 20B up to about 450HP, or around 10 psi of boost.

  10. Flywheel horsepower? That's no problem for an EJ20 or EJ25 (JDM or USDM Sti motors) - throw a 20g or GT30 on there and you're golden. Tough, reliable motors. These motors, much like the DSMs of the world, have spawned a huge host of reliable aftermarket 'packages' that can provide for a range of higher hp applications (as have rotaries).

    Can't see the comp map you posted (and the weiner one is too small, haha) - what are the specs of the turbo you are using?

    Seems to be coming along nicely.:)
