Thanks guys,

At this point i cannot remember where I bought the fenders. It was an online vendor and they are universal. May have been a drift website but it's been about 8 years.

The engine was bored and honed at our local machine shop

Yes the new radiator up front is for the intercooler. The water is pumped through there down copper pipes and rubber hoses beneath the car to the heat exchanger is the back that is inline with the intercooler piping. There are also water injection nozzles located on the intake side pre turbo and one on the throttle body just after the maf.

She has been known to shoot some flames!

Nice job. Thats quite a bit of power that you've achieved. If you used the larger head bolts on your build with that N* engine you should be OK.

Stick to what you know, Dennis.

I have been running Norms inserts with ARP studs and cometic gaskets. Great results. Have ran it up to about 27psi spike and still held together.

At one point when i had the inserts and just the oem bolts and gaskets I did lift the head(s) and blow a gasket.

This engine has been through several full power dyno pulls in 3rd and 4th gear at 20-25psi so i am very confident on the build at this point.
