Run a Spec stage 3 unsprung 3 puck clutch. Worst company besides JGY for SR20 clutches. Its still on the T25. Way overkill. That's a good way to pop your tranny.


Benito i agree with you totally, Why the hell would they buy a
S13 downpipe . They need to do some searching on this forum and the old forum

IIRC they had a deadline to meet so they didnt have a lot of research time. we know where to look, they evidently didnt. they're not into the B-chassis like we are. its a good article, but we know where they could've made some "improvements"

They must really want to break the tranny with that clutch. I don't really like the whole no-headlights deal but whatever. It is such a track slut you won't be able to do anything else with it. I like the mag a lot and had a good time reading that article. But the build seems juvenile. I would like to take my car on the track against theirs and see how it does lol. I would prob keep up just fine.

And there's another one this month.

JWT ECU, 750cc injectors, Z32 MAF, T25.

Which one of these kids doesn't belong with the others?

They are going to upgrade it I bet but I dunno. Probably trying to call SR20Development or JGY as we speak. I bet they've found the forums bye now.

+1^

T25 is a safe bet, easy to get and less expensive - they probably didn't want a snail they might not be able to tune for. It's at least marginally if not substantially harder to start out with larger turbo.

The MAF and injectors otherwise make little sense; save no labor, not needed now, do not see the point other than making the list look better in the mag.

they got a disco potato for free from jwt! THOSE LUCKY FUXX!

They also got dyno #'s they made 318hp 269tq

Then they destroyed 3rd gear. It seems their b13 welcomed them to our family in the traditional way. hahaha that sucks.... but if they got that turbo for $0.00 and kept their tranny, i would hate them!
