What do you plan to do with the motor (i.e. autoX, drag, street...)
I run the ACTXTSS and it's freakin' great. :thumbup:
Why are you building up a Dseries motor so much (if that's what you're building)?

Im going to use the car for street purposes...
I threw out a rod bearing on my D16Y8 engine....took it to our mechanic to see how bad the engine was....too my luck it wasnt that bad. The engine block is fine just broke a rod bearing, main bearing, a connecting rod and scratched up the crank shaft. I would just swap out the engine but i need the car ASAP. So im just going to fix this engine and save up on for a swap.

Over the next couple of weeks, I am preparing for my turbo install
I am searching for a clutch, but haven't decided on a brand yet, as I am open to suggestions. I will also be intalling some custom 2.5 inch piping along with a hi flow cat.
Immediately after the install I will head to Birmingham, AL for some dyno time.:thumbup:
