Hmm .... when is it gonna be done .... Can't wait man. Any HP estimate? or expectation at least ?

 

nice build up

so you Re-manned the Reman huh?

what year was ur Re-man from?

 

Should be done mid to late December, hopefully mid. The engine is going in this weekend/today. After that the things that need to get done are the I/C instal (should take about a day), then get piping fabricated. Once fluids are in then its crank up time, brea- in, alignment, then tuning.

HP estimate? Well this is what we are doing. I think the wg spring I got was the 8psi spring so with my boost controller off I am going to be at 8psi. Then a low setting of 12psi, and a high setting of 15psi (or whatever the wg spring and fuel will let me). I am hoping at 15psi to get somewhere around 420whp...hopefully.

Thanks. Sure did. Haha. Well when I bought the car I had no clue what a re-man even was or to get a compression check or any of that good stuff. So I am not really sure what year.

 

engine is installed buy there is a dp fitment issue you can check it out in the pics

 

alright. everything is hooked up (power steering, a/c) and Sean has fixed my dp and shipping it out. Garfinkle torque brace is being fitted as well. Here are some pics of the Blitz Front Mount installed for the most part.

 

so it is almost done. Downpipe came in and intercooler piping is being fabbed up friday. After that it is getting the filter in, possibly changing radiator hose, and installing the torque brace. Also waiting on my BOV and Greddy Catch Can to arrive. Here are some pics of the mockup and re-fabricated dp from a-spec. I hope this gets some OOOOO's and AAAAAHHH's. Oh, and does anyone know if the stubby K&N like the one Goodfella run will fit with the OEM radiator hose. I saw one picture of a similar setup and it looked like it fit. Just wanna get some more feedback.

 

I also need some opinions...

Polished UIM: Y or N (I think it looks really clean right now and not too flashy but also think with a polished UIM it will make everything blend very well)
Greddy Catch Can Position: Passenger side or Driver side (area where battery was)
*With this I am thinking Driver side so I can run some sort of ducting from the front of the bumper to the passenger side area towards the cold side

Also, if someone is planning on polishing their strut tower brackets I would really like to trade my driver side for theirs. Mine's paint got stripped off and if you are already going to polish this blemish wouldn't matter. And I'm not wanting to polish mine.

 

Can't wait to see it man!!! Looking nice and clean!!

 

latest pics. We started it up no prob but Oil cooler o-ring failed and started blowing oil so waiting to replace those and then we will be ready to start it up again.

 

Nice job, real clean. you have the same IC as me i would fit some extra brackets underneath the IC as where it mounts on the sides of the IC to the car frame is week point. i knocked mine and thought nothing of it then i started loosing boost so i decide to take it off and flush it out with fuel sealed the input & output started swishing it round and fuel pissed out a crack under the weld that you couldnt see.

 

Get to drive it this Thursday.
