The basic reason why I had so much damage to my pistons was the hot *** air from the turbo. I barely won my motor off of ebay today... so I'll get that in there and get my stuff together.

Of course it didn't help, but a lot of novices think that intercoolers are like the most important thing in the world. You can get by without one, or a very small one if you know the other limits of your system. We have a few locals with home-built turbo kits running non-intercooled, usually ~6 lbs. A good friend of mine with a S14 240SX just put down 205rwhp on his non-intercooled setup. A/Fs look good, as does EGT. For his setup right now, there is ZERO need for an intercooler.

I've pretty much read through the Haltech manual... but I still don't know the best way to tune it.The basic reason why I had so much damage to my pistons was the hot *** air from the turbo.

He autocrosses the car quite a bit, but never done a track day.

SR owns KA-T. hahaha....j/k
I met a guy this weekend with an SR20DET with no intercooler. For some reason he didn't get the stock side mount. From his compressor housing to his intake manifold, he made a pipe with PVC and rubber adapters. It was hard not to laugh.

It's better than nothing, but it's still a crappy vlsd.
And I don't really like the SR20. I'm a fan of the RB series
