If you don't break any other rules by doing so, yes. Whole engine system is pretty much wide open assuming you're still using a Mitsu engine. . .

Please don't go top mount There's a reason the Subie guys ditch it!

I'm sure he's going to need a lot of them through the season at that level of racing. Can't just bang up your car at an event and wait 3 months for some more from J-Pan.

Nothin's really changed since last year component wise. Got rid of the cart seat and got one that meets the new rules. Got a data logger so we'll be playing with that through the year. . .

Weighs just 5 pounds.

5.5 pounds with the support bracket that comes with it. Bracket bolts between the block and the manifold to help support it and prevent cracking from stress.

It's going on the car tomorrow. The turbo is currently at the machine shop having 3 of the 4 manifold to turbo bolts drilled out and the threads retapped. The bolts broke off when trying to remove the current manifold. This ALWAYS happens!

I did notice that the OEM Mitsu turbo bolts appear to be stainless steel (non-magnetic). Has anyone tried using a hardened steel bolt to see if they have less of a tendancy to seize in the turbo and snap???
