..as the black ninja.

As many of you know, I purchased the original Red Knight motor from Tracy/Gabe a few months back. I spent the winter months rebuilding the motor since I'm crazy. Here are some of the photos from the build. The post-assembly pics are a bit lacking since I was in a rush to get the project finished. I did the entire build and swap in my garage by myself, with the exception of my fiance who helped drop in the motor.

After I'm finished breaking in the motor, I'll dial up the boost to 10 psi and tune with the meth injection. Stay tuned.

Sweet! Looking forward to the updates!


EDIT: You're "in my neighborhood"! I would like a RIDE when it's done!

(You can flog the Supra in exchange...)
