ive only had experience with a single turbo FD, and maybe someday you should consider going that route if you ever have time/money. its been an overall positive experience for me, we dont have that mess called the rat's nest and it simplifies alot of the things going on in there.

either way goodluck and enjoy! ive always loved checking out twin turbo FDs that run great

Thank you sir...

I bought BNR stage 3's off Herblenny (Phil) and installed those when I rebuilt my engine a few weeks ago...

the rats nest was "smaller" in size from the factory... due to the JDM, it never had 2 or 3 solonoids that the USDM ones have...

I have already removed the emissions though, full exhuast, BNR Stage 3's Mild Street port, DBL throttle replace, etc...

those are all done..


Now I need to install a few more things..

Garfinkle Motor Mounts.... (he does great work)
reseal my oil pan
remove PS
remove AC
install GReddy FMIC
then I have some rims and body rice to go on...


first I was all about the go fast goodies...


on friday (My birthday) I got her running 100% and took her out for a while, putting kms on her....


Drove her to a wedding 140kms away (Calgary) everything was good...

got to the church early... decided to go for a little cruise...

well 20 minutes before the wedding it stalled on me, after doing a full run through the gears..

i tried to accelerate from a stop sign... and it died... I did the de flooding procedure on the side of the road, in dress shirt and pants... hoping it would start... but when I tried to de flood it... there as no sign of fuel at all....


so now working on getting her back up and running... agian.. lol

it was a nice 148kms tow, thank God I have a AMA membership
