Project Leopard – Fuel system upgrades part 1 One of the last things I kind of have been holding off is the fuel system. Originally, I was trying to have a blue theme, but it seems that many of the blue parts I wanted to use aren’t working and haven’t been put on. Example was …
Head drain and oil pan It’s been a long time coming. I was in LA at the end of January 2022 and I was suppose to stop by the SR20 Store. Marco messaged me that his family has Covid, so they were quarantining. It’s been awhile since he’s touched it.. but today… I got some …

Project Leopard – ARP timing tensioner kit When I started to buy everything for the RB25det, I was thinking a lot about this kit. Only place I found it to be was on Boostfactory.ca. They broke down what they did. For some reason, I just waited on ordering. I think it was because the engine …
Project Leopard – Boost Doc Water fitting When the RB25det was finally getting worked on, Marco hit stump. He said the water inlet pipe is eroded. This common of this piece. He said it could still be used, but if we can get a new one, we should. I looked at first and I didn’t …

Project Leopard – ATI Damper for RB25det During my original RB25det build list, I was thinking of an damper. Ross Performance and ATI came to mind. During the pandemic, international shipping hit everyone, so I didn’t pursue a Ross piece. I then looked at ATI. They didn’t have one at the time. ATI doesn’t officially …

Project Leopard – Fuel upgrades One area I really don’t want to play around with is the fueling system. I’ve seen too many people not pay enough attention and at times, car catches on fire. So I decided to update/upgrade some of the engine bay components. NO CHEAP STUFF…. don’t want any INFERIOR fuel product… …
Project Leopard – Exhaust manifold, exhaust manifold and turbo heat shield Cerakote Glacier Chrome Marco (my builder) convinced me to stick with the stock exhaust manifold because it is cast iron and strong.
