Feels ok to me so far. Can't say I've driven the car hard yet but so far so good.

Beefing up my cooling a bit. One of those cheapo Isis fans I flipped to run as a pusher finally died so I'm swapping it out with this 2210 CFM beast until the other fan dies then I'll add another. Hopefully doing some street tuning and finally Dyno time this weekend.

Finally hit the dyno yesterday. We got stuck at 15psi with the stock map sensor but made some decent numbers and managed to kill the trans at the same time 377hp/370tq


1st gear no longer holds but the car drives hard otherwise. Looking to swap out to bigger injectors add another fuel pump and go with E85 so we can get some more boost

Love the attention to detail! I was on the edge between going JZ or not and seeing another SR to JZ thread I'm pretty much locked in.

Hey big Mike build looks real good man. I also as most people on here want to to 1j. But I got a question on how you went about replacing those rear bushings? Did you just burn them out and cut that metal sleeve out or do I got it wrong? How difficult was it to do cause I want to do it to my s13.

Don't do it Big Mike! Keep it, and even if it sits a while get a new trans! You put way to much time into the build to give it up man

From what I've heard, the CD009 transmission is solid up to 1000HP so it would be worth the money because it could handle pretty much anything you can throw at it.

Let us know how it goes. I thought they had got out of building the R154. I know they make there own parts so I hope they keep it going.

How much was it to ship the trans and who are you using to ship it?

Ill never forget the time Mike was installing his fan, looking for a zip tie, he looks at my car, then seems to have an idea and turns to me and asks "hey do you have a spare zip tie in your car?"

I reply "no" casually, it was the truth, and he stops, and gives me this look like, how is this possible, I laughed "I swear to god Mike everyone of them is tied up holding my car together, not one to spare or its gonna fall apart dude"

Amazing build man. Very motivating for me who just started it couple weeks ago!

Thanks for all the answers and solutions for couple of problems I would have met in couple of weeks!
