Project 240SX : And the hits just keep on coming…… CT26 turbo failure
I’ve begun to tear into the 2jz and start cleaning, prepping and stripping for the swap into my s14. It’s been slow going for Project 240SX, but I’ve had more than enough on my plate lately. The saga of the 2JZ just refuses to die down, because after inspecting the CT26 turbos, I’ve been setback […]
Case Studies : Following the progress of Tomei’s Hyundai Genesis Turbo
My first experience with a Hyundai was when I was a teenager, and my father owned a 1984 white 4door Hyundai Excel. This thing was the epitome of the 80’s econo-crapbox, constructed with cheap plastics and budget minded parts that translated into a reputation of being notoriously unreliable. I can remember a time when the […]

In what is yet another chapter in a long line of Skyline’s to be crushed and destroyed by Homeland Security, a man in De Pere Wisconsin recently had two of his R33 Skylines seized by ICE. One of which should look familiar to fans of the original “Fast and Furious” movie, “Big Bird” was a […]

Piggyback Heaven – Installing a SAFC NEO in a SRT-4
Today we are installing the ever popular SAFC NEO into our Project SRT-4. While piggyback computers aren’t as commonplace today as they were 10 years ago, they are still quite useful for the tuner on a budget. While I install quite a few AFC NEO’s, I don’t recommend this install for the SRT-4 due to […]
Case Studies : Project SRT-4 gets a heart transplant!
When we last left our Project SRT-4, it had an unfortunate head gasket tear and consequently had overheated. While the stock turbo had done it’s part putting down 355 @ 25 psi, it was definitely not happy at that level of boost. While tearing the head off for service, we’ve decided to upgrade the turbo […]

Why install […]
Case Studies – Converting the Ignitor setup on a 90 DSM Turbo to a 91.
A friend of mine recently picked up a 90 Eclipse Turbo for 400 dollars in non running condition. After a few minutes, we determine that the engine lacks spark and after a few tests, we find that the ignitor is completely dead. As the 90 is the “black sheep” of the DSM family, I elect […]
