Yeah, well, it's hard to drive the Twin when it has a blown engine

I'm having an engine built by Bluemoon and will have a tune (possibly different ECU) that will have some safeguards against running too low on gas with a supercharger. Also getting the baffle/flap thingy for the fuel tank. Still a good two months out before its backup and running, probably closer to three... sigh.

It's been a long summer without my BRZ, but, this arrived so should be back in business soon

Thx Bluemoon!

Sleepless - how is progress on the car? Any regrets with the build by bluemoon? I may be headed in a similar direction with my car and would love to hear of any lessons learned: what has worked for you, and what hasn't. Also, I'm local - work in Redmond - and would love to see it when it is back together.

Yes any thoughts on the build?

Bluemoon was very good and easy to work with.

The car is up and running fine, but is now in storage for the winter.

Curious to see how this works out for you. Know many people who didn’t have good luck tracking built FA20’s, myself included. Just know that your baffled oil pan may not be enough.
