2010 Turbo Build: a.k.a. "Project JETS3T 8"
You got yourself quite the build goin on too Ngo! Only 35 days left...
It's funny that you mention it ShellDude, I'm making it a point to actually share as much info, expecially photos, of the build as possible. When I first started there wasn't much to go by as reference, for obvious reasons. So hopefully this build will be of some help to next guy who wants to build someting like this.

For the primaries I couldn't use the stock rubber that goes into the actual hole in the engine because it made the injectors stick up too high, so I tested a few different size o-rings until they fit and sealed just right. You also have to trim a little plastic tab off the primaries, really easy. Also, the primaries have a different plug type so you have to either splice into your stock wires or cut and replace the stock wire/plug with the new wire/plug, which is what I did.
Should be starting it up...again...sometime today.
Next week is finally dyno time if I get my new Adaptronic Select ECU in...
Yours too!
Bring ear plugs and a gas mask, methanol is poisonous!
The fitment problem was one issue, there was also an unusual 5/8-18 thread size that didn't have fittings as readily available. I don't know for sure that the KG unit is in fact better, it's just my opinion that the OBX was a pita.
*Update*
The previous compression test results were way off due to incorrect calibration of the software. (my bad)
Here are the updated results:
Conditions:
-Ambient temp: 65 F
-Cranking RPM: 250RPM
-Engine Temp ~180 to 185 F
-Side seals hand clearanced to .004"
-Rotor Housings only 5K miles from factory refurb. motor
Front Rotor(psi):
128.64, 119.78, 119.30
Rear Rotor(psi):
135.19, 126.88, 123.67
I was able to reproduce these numbers to within 2-4psi each time I performed the test.

Runnin' great! Just took her for a spin today with the new ECU and WOW!
Sounds good Sifu! Texas Mile is the ISH!
Btw, about that. Saturday would be a heck of a lot better...
