I dropped the 2.5L in the bay of the 95 GSt today after we FINALLY pressure washed the empty engine bay. We have to drop the motor in Pricer's red MR2 turbo tomorrow so he can get it sold, then I'll be fabbing the intercooler plumbing for the Starion on the GSt. Should be running and ready to show off by next weekend. Come out and see us!

No, not like you think. I finally took the initiative and pulled the T25 off her (aka Smokey). The bearing is in bad shape.
There is about 1/16" back and forth travel of the shaft. It will be shipped out via FedEx first thing tomorrow morning and at Turbo Performance in CA Monday morning. I will have it back, brand new and even better, by Wednesday afternoon. I'm having it re-built, and since it is my personal turbo, he is throwing in a few "tricks" for me. Ben, you better hurry up.....I'll be in the 12s Wednesday night if the track hooks like it did last week.
Speaking of the track. Going with us to Darlington this week will be the 92 Prelude with the JDM H22a that I just rebuilt.
Skunk2 St2 cams/gears, Skunk2 springs and Ti retainers, Crower St Steel valves, new stock bottom end. I designed a bal shaft elim kit for the h22/23 that is being tested on this car too. A CM 11lb flywheel and ACT clutch, GReddy header and AEM intake round out the rest. On the stock motor with i/h/e he was running 14.1 on the street tires. Cant wait to see what he'll do now. As soon as he hits 5k miles on the new motor were going to throw on a 100 shot too. This car revs SO quick with that flywhel and no balance shafts! <img src="http://www.spartanburgracing.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cool.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':cool:'>
Got to go for now.....see you guys in a week!
