So since i popped my motor in August I started spending thousands of dollars on stuff and started my build in late December. Now that it's early March I need to hustle since spring is just around the corner. As of today the car was ready to start for the first time, until I turned the key and burned out my igniter so as of tomarrow I will have a replacement to try again LoL. These pics are from 2 weeks ago so they aren't completely up to date. Here's my mod list so far. This is just for the engine/fuel/igniton. Much more work to do to the rest of the car.

Rebuilt 13b with brand new housings
Aggressive Street Port
Turbonetics T-76 Turbo
Tial 44mm Wastegate
PowerFC
Spec Stage 3 Clutch
AVC-R Boost Controller
1000cc/1600cc injectors

Braided Fuel Lines front to back
CJ Motorsports Dual Fuel Pump Hanger
Twin Walbro in-tank Fuel Pumps

4 Blaster-SS Coils
Stainless Braided Oil Metering Lines

Apexi GT Series Intercooler
Koyo Radiator
Ceramichromed WP/T-Stat Housing
Ceramichromed Upper and Lower intake manifolds (upper is ported)

Oil feedline looks like a -8? 4 coils and one msd box?

Don't really mean to bust your *****, but I see vacuum caps zip tied on coolant bungs. All that time spent chroming should have been spent welding or plugging that stuff.

Looks great! Keep up the good work!

I agree that the coolant lines should never be capped off, should either weld or run a line from the rear iron to the front. Running a cap is like having a stock AST again, you're just waiting for it to go.

I missed the coolant caps, those things typically don't last.

At this point you'd be better off cutting up a stock heater hose and plugging it with a 1/2 inch threaded plug from home depot. for the passenger side one, use a 90 degree bend portion so it's not as visible, and for the one on the driver's side block just use a short straight portion.

Pretty sure it's 1/2, bring a piece of hose to test fit, your adventure begins in the plumbing section of home depot

P.S. make sure you use some sturdy clamps

LoL wow people sure are quick to jump on stuff like this... these pictures are from a few weeks ago those are simply just capped to keep dust from getting inside since i am working at a body shop where lots of sanding goes on. thanks for looking out though!

Speaking of AST's... where would be the best spot to mount it??

heh nice build buddy :P
you BETTER have that running at my place pretty damn soon!

RotaryBred

yes oil feed line is a -8... and if u read my mod list, the 6AL is being replaced with a DIS-4 so it runs my trailing as well as my leading coils. right now its just setup for my leadings.

I've become a fan of deleting the AST, i used to advocate keeping them but I've since defected

Nice!

Beautiful! Very nice looking ignition system. I had never heard of that setup. Any more details on it?

RotaryBred

well like i said as of now i'm just using the 6AL for my leading plugs off of 2 separate coils wired in parallel. The trailing coils are just wired right to the igniter. Once i get the DIS-4 hooked up, i'll have it pushing all 4 coils individually since it's a multi-channel ignition box. Much cheaper than using three 6ALs and a hell of a lot more space friendly!

i purchased one already... i'd kinda like to use it. i've heard mixed things about whether or not they are needed, but I figured it's best to be on the safe side, plus its shiney and i'm attracted to shiney objects

anyways... where would a good place to mount it be????

GoodfellaFD3S

iTrader: (213)

Heh, I know you like shiny crap, I've probably mailed 7 boxes of it to your place

Mount it as high as possible, wherever you can find a spot for it. you can use a bracket and mount it to the top middle of the rad, above the fans.

I'm sorry man that nobody here pointed this out. You could have saved yourself a ton of money. The problem is your tranny was installed up-side-down. You'd think they would have caught that before it left the factory. No need to modify your engine. Beautiful build though. Keep the pics coming.
