I am finally finished with my base tune. I was working on getting the AEM boost controller to work and eventually took it out and changed my spring's for the 2nd time today. Now we can start moving forward on making more boost currently now making 16.8 lbs.

I am going to take it out as far as I can. I don't know what numbers I am currently making at the moment but from just running 12.2 psi the car was running strong and pulling really hard.

I am currently on stock motor and have plenty of room to push it with the factory internals. But for the transmission I am currently pushing it over the limits lol. I spent most of monday taking my old K24Z7 apart and just admiring the old motor and getting ready for a rebuild.

Isn’t there a giant hole in the block?

Kinda dumb question, but how old would you say is too old to boost an engine? >.>

That motor has a good size hole in the bottom of the block and oil pump from the rod. Not planning on using that one we were just taking it apart for fun so when we I get a new block I have an idea what to do as a rebuild stand point.
