    Default green91 build thread (peer pressure made me do it)

    EDIT: build will be continued at http://www.halffastmotorsports.com under projects

    Hey guys,
    My EF has been an ongoing build for the 6 years that I've owned it so this wont be a ground-up build, but rather the changes its going through now. My thread probably wont be as picture intensive as slow_hatch's but ill try and snap some along the way. Ima a Master ASE technician and work at a Toyota dealer so I've got the luxury of 30k of tools and a lift to make this easier than when i first started lol.


    I had the car previously turbo'd on the stock d15b2, then on a d16z6, and then swapped in the b16a. because of many reasons i was'nt happy with the b16 so i decided to do another sohc turbo setup, freshen up the motor and do some other mods. since all of my driving is mountain driving i am only looking for 200-220whp which will be easily attainable.
