nice, interested in the results! im chasing your record this year looking for 8.5's in a similar built "street" car. i was looking to upgrade to a 91mm as well, but forced inductions no longer does the upgrade on the S88 model.

good luck

Since space is limited on my nissan would it be worth it next year to when im looking to make more power to upgrade from my pt88 to the pt-88-47?

i think all the questions were answered! thanks!

differences from a shelf tti race-water kit:
-intercooler water tank, hoses, fittings, pump from engien bay to behind drivers seat
-i no longer have an intercooler water radiator (it is not my trans cooler!)
-turbo change from original gt80-r to the pt-88 and now this
-re-made merge pipe for larger exhaust housing to clear water pump, change to 3.5" downpipe flange from 3"
-change from 2.5" to 3" and now 3.5" discharge pipe on the turbo end
-wrapped header at alternator as well as the cross-over piping
-now inlet 90* elbow change from 4x4 to 5x4
-changed from short k&n filter to 12" long cone
-some clamps, couplers and junk like that

Missed one. How'd the rod and main bearings look? I'm real curious to know if they are getting beat up at that power level.

i didnt get them back with the engine, but I was told that they were in good shape considering the miles and use (abuse). the entire rebuild consisted only of rings rod, and main bearings, so that says something there.

the erl ls2 block has some filler in the bottom of it and billet mains (on my stock crank) w/ standard replacement main studs.. thats it far as i know.

I usually purchase reducing intake elbows over at Air Flow Systems. They have quite a few sizes and decent pricing.

Is the same stock crank going back in? I forgot that you had a beefier bottom end and 6 bolt heads.

Are you using a pump for the oil drain or just gravity drain?

Cant wait to see that thing go!

spooled faster than the 88, not sure how much gain. the new owner in texas dyno'd 1060 to the tires thru the 4l80 unlocked yank converter /9"

my pt88 as well as this 91 was no issue from either, sorry to hear it.

here were my last passes prior to selling
