Indeed. Took him four years. :rofl: Custom turbo manifold, custom pistons and rods. Using the USDM stock block.

I have a custom ground Gude cam with springs/valves/retainers sitting on the JDM G25A2 block...boosted with those internals would be freakin silly.

Kind of remotivates me. h:

He's going to post dyno figures soon. I wonder what kind of management he's using, must just be some shitty AFC.
