Re: Building a 15g 3KGT VR4, need opinions

If it was me, I might hold off on buying the hard pipes and save the money towards a front mount set-up. Modified dsm side mounts would be another option.

Swanny remember my emanage/emanage ultimate /15g set up? Haha

Yeah...while they work (emanage), well work sometimes, not my most favorite option to use on those cars.

Re: Building a 15g 3KGT VR4, need opinions

So I had the car up on a lift this weekend, and there is a large dent in the pan. Now I know why a rod bearing went out. Also, I am noticing the car is hitting a wall at 5k in 3rd, it is worse the colder out it is, safe to say I have a boost leak somewhere and am maxing out the MAF sensor?

Dented oil pan is the number one killer of 6g72 engines. The "Wall" you may be hitting is a drop in boost on the 9b's, they don't hold boost to redline. I doubt you are maxing out the MAF, but if your intake sucks you could be choking off airflow. (or if your intake doesn't suck properly ).

It feels like fuel cut actually, complete cut out.
