Well I officially had 4 plenums and a spacer sitting at my apartment the past week.. Let's see..

I had the original OEM plenum that came with my car, which was powdercoated and ported, a Motordyne 3/8 Spacer, a Crawford Plenum, a OEM Z Plenum, and my new love.. my custom SSV =)

I originally wanted to use the Crawford for my new build, but I saw the SSV for sale for cheaaaap. It didn't look like it was in great shape, but I saw some potential custom work to be done! This included having it completely recoated in hi temp gold paint and lotsa hi temp clearcoat.. I also have the engraving shaved off and the SSV cleaned up a bit. I definitely think it will look HOT in my new engine build. So excited to have everything back together really soon!!

Oh and added bonus, my ACT 6 puck was completely dead. It was a decent clutch for a 6 puck unsprung race clutch. I figured since the plates were mostly gone, it was time to pick something else up. I mean that 6 puck barely survived 400rwhp on my G... It will definitely be a better investment to find a good replacement for my 600rwhp build =)
So I was lucky enough to pick up a Exedy Race Spec Twin Carbon Clutch. Supposedly it will hold roughly 600 lb/tq on 2 discs, and it's sprung! It will hopefully be quieter than my ACT unsprung 6puck/Nismo Flywheel combo! I also bought a Clutchmasters sprung FX700 6puck which I have sold recently also. Carbon > ALL!!!

Oh and 2nd bonus, check out the packaging on TiaL Wastegates!! They look sooo nice. I bought 2 new wastegates for my build, silver TiaL's with .9bar springs! The packaging was VERY fancy for what such a odd turbo part.
