are you gonna upgrade the PD and FPR? You can probably black powder coat the upgrades (along with the BOV) for that super sleeper mode!!

 

Looks great...now.
Unless the hardware is stainless, they're gonna rust like crazy as soon as they get wet.

 

wow nice build alex your going the route i want to go with my seven. good luck with the build man

 

Thanks guys

For now while I break it in It will have the PD and no aftermarket FPR. I will be ordering parts soon and most of them will be AN fittings and hoses . All of those will be black too. The fuel rails will be moded with welded an male ends on each rail. The lines will be black braided ones. Again keeping it as fresh and clean as possible.

Yea wish i had stainless bolts but compared to dirty, oild up, and rusty screws and bolts a fresh wire wheel and some wd40 will fix rust for a bit. I also steered away from the screw king, my last build i used a lot allen head screws and it was a pita . They look good but suck when you have to get the allen in weird places.

 

I love the plan! This car will be wicked... and what better color than a sexy black sleeper FC!!

 

Very nice work sir. That's one shiny dorito motor.

For what it's worth, you can get stainless bolts from mcmaster.com for a great price, in just about any size/strength/head combo you like. I redid my entire motor with stainless on all low-loaded points for under 100 dollars.

 

moarrrrr!
it looks great man!

 

Thanks guys

Wow man, your motor looks a lot like mine with my build last year. Got to love the brushed aluminum look.

It is so nice when you clean everything! I went through about two wire wheels.


As for the harness, mine was not that bad BUT I did do the exact same thing you did with tape and wire shroud. We think alike

 

^^^ that is what im goona do when i get my swap ready to drop in?
Great work by the way (this is what keeps me motivated to keep working on mine!). sucks you moved outta florida. would've loved to see your last 7

 

Thanks

yeah well u know how it is its about been low key

my old 7 is in Miami area somewhere unless the rebuilt it or something last i heard the guy blew the motor. Couldn't hack 450whp lol...

 

I think some of the low key cars are the best built cars. Nothing too flashy, just a sweet, clean, car with reliable power... There is always someone faster then you, but there isn't always someone cleaner...

I have seen rusted out buckets that are faster then anything I have owned... But to me there has to be a balance.

 

UPDATE:

The car is running and purring with rpms at 900. She still has a couple little hickups i have to do but still havent driven her. Right now I am in need of the passenger side hardline and proportioning valve off a non-abs model in order for me to drive her.

BAD NEWS!!!!!

I am deploying to AFGHANISTAN in september. I am doing training all of august, and I am leaving for a couple days this month. So i only have 3 weeks of usage before I put her in a storage for 8 months.

I will get her running and cleaned up in the time been,sucks but I got to do what I signed back up to the Marine corps for.

With this car IF SOMEONE WANTS TO BUY IT PLEASE PM ME!!
if it doesnt sell its fine i will continue my build when i get back. Just shoot me a decent offer.

 

your gonna be gone for 8 months? wow military life takes away soo much if your free time. lol

well when u go, good luck and stay safe!

 

wow!! Nice

 

Good luck bro! Thanks for serving the country.

 

Don't put it in storage or sell it. Bring it here and I will take care of it while your gone.

 

You got to come back to FL!! I want to see it! Plus you can see my dad's 88!

 

dude, ill put it in my garage for you, i am in onofre housing, my wife wouldn't be happy but oh well lol

 

Thanks Mike

I got a couple places where I am thinking of keeping it ,yours is another option now. Sucks but time is ticking and Mohave viper is a #itch.

All I need for the car to be driven now is the brake master cylinder, passenger side hard line, and the proprtioning valve.

As soon as i do that i can take it to the dmv and register it. Oh lets not forget smog lol.

Wich brings me to WHO HAS A T2 STOCK EXHAUST SYSTEM I CAN BORROW FOR MY SMOG

 

First PICS of my new build 1991 TurboII, I will post better ones later. She is a little beat up but nothing I cant handle. Those of you who seen my last build saw it through 3 stages of paint so a fresh coat of Brilliant Black and some cabon goodies and she will come out pretty.

 

 

And what the build be without a video!

 

 

I see a fram filter... wasnt there some crap floating around that they desinigrate?

Car has potential to be very clean.
