Alex's 1993 MB "From old to new" Build thread!
I know man I have to change all my numbers due to the wider tires i am running. I had to go up a bit in the front but she handles better the way it is now lol. Send me your number again.
Update -
Took the car to get tuned. Well I had nothing but problems then when everything got fixed I had timing issues. For some reason my motor has diffrent timing than my tec3 trigger kit. Say if the engin is seen 14 degrees my tec3 says 34 degrees.WTF!
So i bailed out on the dyno better to fix the issue or get a new ecu than blow a $2k turbo and $3k motor because of timing.
So that takes me to this new segment.
FUEL SYSTEM- I switched out the twin walbros for a BOSCH o44 this way its a much easier set up and wont heat up the fuel too much. Plus the flow rate is incredible and only had to run one relay.
STANDALONE- I am shopping for a Power FC as of now so I can get a nice tune and enjoy some last races of the year. Then I will get a haltech or microtech depending where The Marine corps send me next.
PARTS FREEBIES AND PICK UPS- NELSON S from RRRTUNING.COM hooked me up with
-4 BNIB LSX coils with built in igniters.
-MSD LSX boot ends
-Custom made ready to bolt on to FD3s Factory harness for the LSX coils, no need for FD igniter or HKS twin power.
Courtesy of Louie from RRR in Santa Ana - re wired my fuel pump main acc source due to power cuts.
POWDER COATING!!!!!
The sweet old lady at OLYMPIC COATINGS took care of me big time from the wheels to my peripherals down to my Downhill moutain bike frame. Everything in the engine bay was powder coated with cerm heat coating.
LONG NIGHTS AND BLOODY KNUCKLES-
along with my countless hours working on the motor and wiring i did the following.
- stripped harness made to single turbo
-OMP deleted and blocked off thanks to Banzai racing
-custom aluminum catch can with a breather on the side
-DEI reflect a gold heat tape on the front and rear of lim and under the uim.
-Dei reflect a gold heat tape on the air intake box
-soldered resistors on the harness for my 1680cc
-ABS delete system in braid lines
-new clutch slave and master cylinder, throwout bearing, clutch release bearing and clips
-NEW Car INSURANCE lol
-b and M short throw shifter from bottom base up
-new CORBEU FX1 PRO seats courtesy of LUCKY7RACING
MUCH MUCH MORE!!!!! cant remember I was set on finishing the car i barely took a camera out. My phone has a few pics thought.
COMING SOON-
-Front splitter with side canards
-Power FC
-LSXcoils with bi igniters
-suspension tune up by Louie from RRR
-INSTALL my Innovate wideband finally
