Dave Gibson, of course!! I knew that name was familiar. Last summer I got in line to purchase an engine - it was about 3-4 weeks before the next shipment was to arrive, so I was first. When the new engines arrived, there was only 2 S5 13BT's, and both of them had defects. So I had to wait another two months for the next shipment. The next shipment they got specifically gearing up for sevenstock, so there was a bunch of good engines. They had it to me in a weeks time from the moment the shipment arrived.

They have an eye out for QA, which is very important when selling used imported engines. No one wants to get their engine only to find out that compression is low, and the engine is drinking water. Definately Kudos to fc3s.org on the engine, it started right up tuesday morning. The true test of course is yet to come....

Thanks guys for the compliments.

It looks like I'm going to have to take the TB off again though... I put some gasket sealer on the gaskets between the TB, UIM, and the phenolic (sp?) vacuum spacer. Now I can't seem to get any fluctuation in vacuum, engine running or not - it just sits there -17kPa on the haltech (4200 ft above sea level, thats atmosphere), so needless to say I've still got some ironing out to do.

Oh, and I had a small mishap. When I started it this morning, I forgot that I temporarily disconnected the engine ground, and tried starting it. The only path to ground was through the SS clutch line, which after cranking for about 10-15 sec let out a big puff of white smoke. It melted the teflon, which oozed out of the SS wrap. The smoke I believe came from the hydraulic fluid, that found its way out. Needless to say my clutch is really limp now

I really hope to have it on the road at least by this weekend.

 

Thanks to you Bryan (just noticed the spelling, sorry). The turbo was a work of art. If you can really sqeeze 388 Hp out of it...I'll definately be a happy man.
