My Rebuild And Performance upgrade
So finally she is on the road. Took us a weekend too install the engine. After a week of easy driving i noticed that when i give it the pedal abit it just coughed, " crap, vac leak" i thought.
Luckily it was only the primary fuel rail missing its insulators and the o-rings on both fuel-rails had gotten enough so i changed those.
While putting the insulators in i managed too rip the gasket between the uim and lim in two. So its actually got a ripped gasket there atm but i got a new one coming in the mail, im also expecting the biggest cooler that can be fitted on the fc but im afraid it will make my coolant temps rise?? Can anyone answer that..
After more of a while i noticed that my passenger left rail was hot as a mahfakkah, thats when i got out of the car and looked under the car..the heatshield on the downpipe was there but i had and still have a 3-5mm gap between the downpipe and too the next segment of the exhaust. Still the exhaust exit`s at the back where it should.
Also im suspecting that my cat may be clogged, i dont know why im thinking this, i just do. I also have a porthole of somekind coming out of the cat wich may be letting 1000 C* exhaust right up into the chassis just as the downpipe segment is. Im waiting for some money too get the RB REVII downpipe and Ypipe with mufflers and do the rest of the tubing myself, i actually got the RB catback already. Haven`t noticed any exhaust leaks from the downpipe gap and the cat porthole but there is DEFO coming hot fumes from the cat porthole.
ANOTHER thing ive noticed is that my cd-stereo player gets hot as...yes another mahfakkah! Just after a few minutes of playing, i fixed a better ground but that didnt help much so im gonna have too measure some voltages soon too find out what is wrong. Only speakers connected too the player are my tweeters so maybe i got some circuits shorting out( due too my lack of stereo hookup knowledge)
*New rims
*Streetport
*Mapped too stock 0.6 Bar Turbo ( Cause the police here is having a witch-hunt on tuned cars giving fines set for 200,- usd pr bhp over original that u get busted with) imagine being fined for have 250 bhp too much, that would bankrupt u for several years....maybe even a decade
*Silicone tubings
*Power FC
*Polk Audio System
*NSA Dynamo
*Koyo Racing rad
*Refurnished and rebuilt Original brakes and changed brakedisc`s in the front.
*Stainless Braided brake lines
I`ve started too loose control over where all the money WENT but i know so far that ive spent about 14,000,- USD on the car but bear in mind that we make 2-3 times as much concidering the american currency but everything that we shop or spend money on here is also just as expensive, so rounding it down too about 5.000,- for you guys it might be more correct.
Most of the money that went missing has gone into the rebuild and port of the engine ++++ maintenance , fixing other stuff, ALSO bear in mind i had no tools or plickyplocks too work with so i probably spent a fortune there also
That`s it, after about a year in the hospital she is serving me well
Finally a few pictures, bottom one is right after the engine install and isnt showing all the updates.
