Re: my new project

Aaaannndddd keeping with the grand scheme of things not one thing can go right with this car. So now my starter went out. I was able to track down a used one to get me by for now. I just can't catch a break with this thing. I'm soooo effing sick of it and am losing my motivation for working on it fast.

Just ask swifty what he touched and replaced it.

Buy mine and do auto swap and use the other one as a DD/beater car.

Re: my new project

Unfortunately I don't think I'll ever be able to sell this car. In the 10 months I've owned it I justhave to much time and money into it. Plus if I did sell it I would buy another hayabusa and turbo it

Re: my new project

Not quite yet lol. I still have 2 weeks till I go on the dyno and a lot can go wrong in two weeks. I will be happy once my car makes it on the dyno and puts down some decent numbers. I should really stop being so pessimistic about this thing but it's kinda hard right now lol

Re: my new project

Alrighty I got the turbo swapped and John redid my exhaust and lower intercooler pipe to fit the 6766. So now the car is running on the new baby turbo. I just need to get an air filter and make an intake pipe or see if I can get a 5in to 4in reducing coupler and make my intakepipe from the gt42 work. I'm also going to need to get the turbine housing ceramic coated or buy one of those turbo blanket thingys because it cooks the carbon fiber hood pretty good.

Also between yesterday and today I've put about 200 miles on the car so the engine now has over 400 miles on it. She's just about ready for the dyno. And big thanks to John (pushit2.0) for letting me swap turbos and his place then redoing my exhaust and intercooler pipe!

Thanks man! I feel like I need the the luck right now. I think I'ma llittle overly paranoid about the charging system after last year on the dyno. The charging system seems to be all over the place so I hope she holds up on the dyno

Re: my new project

Also its kinda interesting. I weighed the gt42 it was almost 38lbs. The shipping weight on the 6766 was 25lbs so take away 1 or 2lbs for packaging that means the 6766 is about 14 to 15lbs lighter than the gt42.
