Goodbye Omni sensor!! If you have been in the game long enough, you know these are 50/50 with longevity. With that being a factor AND with a target boost above 43psi we had to move on to something better. Also with the 2150s sitting in E for over a year I tested them and........... You know, they were done. I swapped in my Alpha injection injectors for the base tune and some break in miles. The Injector Dynamics 2600s are going in as they will supply the fuel to this car to support our fueling. Out with that crap attempt at a fuel cell. This car has a radium hanger so 2 525s will go in with one on a Hobbs switch. This car has already came a long way BUT the journey hasn't stopped just yet....

6g72 2 bolt bottom end. This is my personal Vr4. Mahle Tri-layer coated bearings.

The discussion is using 1ga DSM Headstuds for main girdle studs. I will also say this......90ft/lbs is astronomical. That WILL DEFINITELY cause for a line bore for the crank. That will also cause some destortion at the bottom of the cylinder bores. You'll need to have the girdle and a torque plate fastened to the engine to keep everything aligned properly. For the 1g DSM headbolts, 60-63ft/lbs using arp l**e will do the job perfectly. This is a topic already in the forums and there's a good bit of people who have already done this. Im just doing this in 2026 lol.

Also if you upgrade the stay feet and use OEM mains you'll be fine as well. Don't just do the vertical bolts on the girdle feet do the vertical and horizontal bolts. This will help keep that girdle from shifting more than it normally will at higher HP and rpms.

Tomorrow I'll do all the measurements and check for roundness. May even have a crank spin video for you guys 🤷🏾‍♂️ who knows!!

90s Icon right here. I want to thank Erick Dixon for doing a great job wiring this car up on Haltech. It's hard to find people that want to do the job correctly. Customer only wanted a safe 350whp (in his words) and told me I was the guy to do it. I almost forgot about him on my Bday weekend and was set just to be playing Ace Combat all weekend. What other way to bring in the new year by tuning a legendary vehicle. Had a minor setback with the starter, but other than that Goal achieved!!

You don't know a good running car, until you deal with a good running car.

These 2 cars have something in common.

3000gt came in with no gaskets on the exhaust side, everything sealed up with copper rtv. Cut braided line pushed over the factory steel lines on the return side, no fuel pressure gauge but does have an aeromotive regulator (they come with a gauge though). The intercooler kit, MY GOD!!! The CX racing intercooler both the dual core and single are notoriously easier to install but with a little adjusting, cutting, swearing, and a little RnB music I was able to get it to fit properly. Haltech s3 and we'll be on the dyno soon!!

The Evo, where do I start. Previous engine lost oil pressure. The timing chain broke a link and it carved up the guides which clogged the oil pump. Built, sleeved and o-ring block later it's back. The fuel system on this car was so poorly done it's going through a complete overhaul. With 2150s and a brushless pump the (VE) Fuel table was maxed out with a base pressure of 55psi. Car only made 650. Out with the G30-900 in with the G35-1050. Let's turn it all the way up and see what we get. BUT BUT BUT, idk how this motor was built so I get to deal with oil pressure that's lower than what I would like. HOPEFULLY they built it looser than normal. I will pull it back apart before I send it(extra work 🙄 cause not everyone is good working on EVOs or building engines....... Why y'all gas these places up 🤷🏾‍♂️).

So that's what I been up to lol, if I'm not posting I'm working....... Sometimes too much!! Fun Dyno day coming up with a few high HP cars and a gang of 3000gts.

That Ecumaster 3.071 update 👀

Beautiful

Been super slammed lately and have had some very long nights. As I'm finishing up these few EVOs, I have a DSM and a gang of 3/s stuff here and on the way. Im pouring 100% into every project here. This EVO is a prime example. I'll have much to show and tell you about this one and the others as well. Enjoy this launch control video for the time being!! As always

After chasing issue after issue and inconsistency with this car the fuel pump setup just didn't make sense to me. This is probably one of the dumbest ways Ive seen a surge tank setup. The tune had shown me there was a fueling issue with the VE map being maxed out in the upper rpms. With 2150s a "450" walbro in the tank and a brushless pump in the surge tank there's no way it's maxed out and only making sub 700whp. This was you guys King at one point lol. Either way let me help you.

Feed from the factory tank to the surge take
Surge tank to the fuel rail(main feed to the engine)
Return line from the fuel rail... Goes to the surge tank
Line from the surge tank to the factory fuel tank for overflow

4 lines, easy peasy.

Also, if your doing a surge tank and running flex fuel, you cannot have the flex fuel sensor between the fuel tank and surge tank. It needs to be either on the feed line going to the engine from the surge tank or the return line from the fuel rail going to the surge tank. I prefer the feed line as that's literally what the engine is seeing.

This BS is the reason why 90% of the cars that come in are trash.

Be patient and know it can cost a grip to reverse this mess and order and repair everything for it to with correctly.
