make sure you clean all your piping, IC, and manifolds thoroghly... All that work cutting, porting etc..might've gotten some metal dust/shavings or small pieces stuck in your breathing system. It'd be a shame to scar up that new motor.

P.s. have you thought about giving her a little slip and slide on a open drift day for fun? I have a feeling you'd be hooked...

well damn, lol i thought you painted all of your parts. Well i kinda decided on either florescent yellow or florescent teal. let me know what brand you use and maybe jaime can help me find someone to do it.

teal, for some reason that color always pops into my mind when I see your screen name.

Just start off slow... your building the car.. So just build it so it doesn't break:nod:Thats one of my main goals:icon_tup: Tires are expensive..but so is gas... does it prevent us from driving? HELL NO!! Pucker up brotha!! Give it a shot!!! :lol:

muibubbles Jul 26, 2011 04:53 AM

someeeeeeeetimes i ride my bike to the store..... hahaha

6am. im 98% ready to fire it up. i have to install the inspection plate, plug in the ecu, buy nuts to secure my coil relocation, plug it in. andd i should be good to go to fire it up!

fiz-e Jul 26, 2011 11:12 AM

good luck on firing it up... hope it goes well...

Rx_Sam Jul 26, 2011 02:53 PM

looking goooooood ;) ;) ;)

phrost Jul 26, 2011 05:32 PM

good luck with the 1st start up! all though you probably already have it started by now. :)

muibubbles Jul 26, 2011 09:44 PM

thanks for the kind words. today. sucked. didnt get it started. battery is good, tried 2 diff alternators... pfc reads 12.5-12.6 at on position but when i crank its 10.5-10.6...

also my headlights dont work and my gauge cluster doesnt light up... i feel like im forgetting something super simple but i cant figure it out.

i know all this stuff works because ive tested this out after i finished doing the rewire. (on the old motor)

besides that. i seem to have wired something wrong cuz my left turn signal is always on..............

if anyone has any idea feel free to post. ill be searching the forum for the next........... lightyear........

KKMpunkrock2011 Jul 26, 2011 10:16 PM

lightyear is a distance measurement, not time.

muibubbles Jul 26, 2011 10:18 PM

lmao i was re reading that as i posted but i figured i was too tired to care...

mannykiller Jul 26, 2011 11:25 PM

double check all your electrical.. and if everythings in the right place... theres only one way to find a gremlin.. it your gonna have to go through the harness =-/

mannykiller Jul 26, 2011 11:25 PM

wait does it crank over at least? or doesn't even crank?

muibubbles Jul 27, 2011 06:01 AM

yes it cranks... i might not be getting enough spark. im gonna change the plugs and see if that helps...and maybe some oil in the housings.. im not sure if its electrical or what... =/

mannykiller Jul 27, 2011 12:29 PM

might just be flooded. Pull the plugs and EGI main relay, and crank her over for a lil. Then plug both back in and fire away! good luck brotha!

KKMpunkrock2011 Jul 27, 2011 06:37 PM

I dunno, I'm torn between street, road course, and autox. Although I've already kinda killed it for autox since I removed PS and the bitch just doesn't like to turn quick enough at those speeds w/o PS on R6s. No ABS on the street and road course is fine though. Plus I don't really want to deal with my brake system at the moment, I just need to get her running.

FDmuri Jul 27, 2011 10:36 PM

what all has to be done to delete the ABS? i was just talking with my friend about this earlier.. your right man the bay would look soooooo much better without it.

muibubbles Jul 28, 2011 09:49 AM

no much, it can be done for under 100.
(feel special, i just made this for you)

The Race for the KDR meet is on!!!

BTW if your reading this, then your not working on your car!!!! get back to it!!!

KKMpunkrock2011 Jul 28, 2011 03:02 PM

in place of the t fitting you can put a proportioning valve which lets you control how much front/rear brake bias there is. You can also run an electric one so you can control it from the driver's seat.

muibubbles Jul 28, 2011 03:24 PM

i know i have a manual proportioning valve that allows you to set how much bias you want from front and rear. u still need that t fitting otherwise your L/R brakes will just be looped to each other.. unless other proportioning valves have 2 inputs and 1 out puts on them. (which mine doesnt. its a wilwood manual proportioning valve http://www.jegs.com/i/Wilwood/950/260-8419/10002/-1 )

muibubbles Jul 29, 2011 11:09 AM

car started but it has trouble turning on. i have to play with the throttle to get it to turn on. i think it needs more fuel... New problem, Rad fans arent turning on. could be wiring or relay. but i have faith in my wiring as everything is up to par so far (minus forgetting to plug the hids in) im hoping its something simple as replacing the relays.......

muibubbles Jul 29, 2011 01:56 PM

afternoon bump.

found out 2 of my fan relays are arent getting continuity. hopefully my rad fans will turn on now so i can trouble shoot if anything is wrong while the car is on!
(and loud =) )

and whats a post without a picture!??!

dei titanium heat wrap on the downpipe. tits!
