To combat oil starvation issues, I am using:
- Ishihara-Johnson Teflon Crank Scraper
- ATI Damper pulley kit
- Boundary Engineering Chromoly Racer Oil Pump Assembly, 1 shim
- Maruha Racing Oil Pan Baffle

 

Nice!

 

Coolant reroute?

 

Yes, from the early days.
I run the BEGI racer version, slightly modified. And this time, it will be:
- no tstat, but gutted tstat at the back of the head
- no heater core circuit

 

Finally, the JE Pistons arrived so the build can begin!

 

All the bits back together:



Full sequential, 36-1, DTA ECU
ID1000s
ATI Super Damper
Big *** cross flow rad, not tstat, no heater loop
Largest #3 BEGI intercooler
Low compression JE Pistons
High flow racer oil pump
Adjustable cam gears
Sump baffles
Same old GT2560R at 15psi
No idle or emission control

 

Ok 245rwhp (290 fly) and 280lbft (fly) will do for now
All on a 4WD SuperFlow

 

So you picked up ~10 rwhp from all that? At least I remembered 235-ish last time we dynoed together?

 

Two things
1) Topic is reliability and I've added little to no performance enhancements. Same old turbo. The 99 vs 94 engine is what makes a difference here.
2) It's not just 10hp (it's 20 really), it's about the area under the graph:

 

No need to go all high and mighty on me, I was just asking.
