keep up the great work!! car looks awesome. btw what ic core are you using??

 

All of the exhaust components except the catback are ceramic coated. If heat is an issue then I will wrap the dp.

 

I've seen the heatwrap before, but I never understood the material and how it works.

Does it obsorb the heat? and keep it within the wrapping? or does it diminish it somehow?

 

it's hemp and basically blocks the heat....it also starts on fire easily and smells like crap if it gets wet....i ran it for about 24 hours and a lil oil spill on it and i had a nice sized engine fire.
ill stick to ceramic coat myself

 

oh wow, looks purdy.
me next!

 

If all goes well I will be bringing her to life tonight!! I will keep the updates coming.

 

Its alive!! Finally got her fired up today. I need to do some initial tuning to the map to lean it out and get the timing just right, but she runs! I still need to wire up the efan too, but I am very excited

 

I will post up a video in a little while.

 

Here she is!!

 

what was that pop?

 

LOL what happened at the end of the video? You almost got to 4Krpm there was a pop, the engine dies and the video ends....

 

good stuff man

 

ROFL!
that was pretty funny, nice set up though.
clean car.

 

Too much fuel!! It is running insanely rich right now.

 

I leaned it out a little and lowered the idle to about 1000-1100rpms. It is getting there! AFR's are at about 10.2 to 10.9 right now they were in the 8's before.

 

much better lol

 

HEMP Holy ****, this whole time I thought it was fiberglass....




To the OP: Damn nice engine build. I have a question, are you going to cut any of the front bumper in addition to stock opening? I would hope so because why go with a huge intercooler if half of it isn't getting any air? It can't displace heat if it doesn't have air flowing thru it. And I'm glad you did the Yblock to Yblock setup. It allows you to run a single inlet and outlet FPR while still paralleling the rails. I've been wanting to do it for a while. Now I can since my engine is out too. Looks good, You should post up a total cost.

properly done. props

 

nice, it sounds badass.

 

Thanks a lot guys. It should be on the road this week!!

 

In my experiene, the ceramic coating does very little compared to a layer of heat wrap...You don't want to cook the wiring harnes and rubber lines in that area.

 

Damn, Watching that video makes me want to install a SP motor in my carright now

Oh well, Next engine will be Streetported.

 

It is fiberglass....if the stuff that guy was using was hemp - no wonder he doesn't want it anymore!!!

 

Yea I know, I was just being a dick. I'm about to heat wrap my downpipe. Along with the heat wrap DEI makes a silicone spray that you're supposed to spray the wrap with after you put it on so that it somewhat repels water. I got the spray at advanced auto parts.

that spray sucks... ends up just flaking all over the place. also dont use those crappy metal ties they provide they suck *** too. use real hose clamps
