From what I have been told you can not just go directly off of the master to the brake calipers, you would still have to use a proportioning valve. I am doing a custom hard line on my car and will be using the OEM valve that is mounted on the ABS module.

 

was just talking to alex, who created the kit and he said you don't need it

 

Interesting, that would make my setup all that much easy to make.

 

But for 40$ being able to adjust the brake bias in the
cabin It's a nice upgrade , specially if you don't have ABS anymore

 

i don't think he was referring to the ssbc proportioning valve that comes in alexs kit.. ill probably tackle the brakes this weekend and show pics of what I've done

 

That would be great. I am planning on getting the ssbc proportioning valve instead of OEM for my setup now but it is more along the lines of 100.00 not 40.00. Alex's kit is great, I just wanted a cleaner look than a bunch of steel braided lines so I am doing a custom bent hard line setup.

 

I've been getting lazy with working on the car, I'm almost done with depowering the steering rack, just getting the pinion welded up then i can reassemble everything else. the wiring harness is done and wrapped up.. ill have to take some pictures of that. Addicted performance has started my motor and should be done later today- large street port with goopy seals and all new bearings



cleaned rotors


motor



oil pan brace from banzai racing

 

starting to put everything together


new bearings in

studs




motor is getting shipped personally through my friend aha

 

it looks so good I'm in love, tomorrow i should have most of the parts on if i don't get to distracted

 

Yea i like to murder everything out, I'm gonna have little chrome accents so it will all pop out more

More of an update:

oil pan and brace buttoned up






clutch is on and aligned



Primary FF fuel rail with EV 14 1000cc injectors


going to be the last couple days on the sled, its been above melting point and it feels like spring!

 

Looking good! I need to buy that last photo to get through next winter( we will be doing an Adaptronic lineup for them )

 

Great build... I always hate to be the one to nit-pick. But why not swap out that aluminum motor mount arm? I can understand (and relate) to keeping the rubber mounts... but the arm is a known weak point and they can be had pretty cheap.

Otherwise - keep up the good work!

 

I did notice that too..
Rollcoal the rubber is still good on that ? I remember mine was soooo bad (It does look a little bit too from the picture) You don't necessarily need to get the steel mount Just get the engine mounts, drill a hole and bit of grinding on the aluminium so the mount seat flush. Otherwise , AWSOME !!! Nice and clean !! I'm so jealous you got your engine back already !! keep the good work

 

You have the motor mounts on the wrong sides of the engine. Steel mount with heat shield goes on the turbo/exhaust side.

 

Yea i realized I put them on wrong aha. To be honest I just needed clamping force for the silicone on the oil pan so I didn't want to undo it until it cured. These motor mounts are toast so I will be getting a set of semi hard mounts as well as a new bracket. So they need to come off again .. I'll be making an order once I get paid. Its getting down to the small things that I need to buy which is gonna hold me back from the final stages of running and tuning.. I'm hoping by June it should be tuned with all the kinks worked out

 

Can you use 2 left side (steel) arm mounts .. I know it has a little difference in shape but was wondering if they both would work

 

cute little turbo mounted:P i need to paint that ugly alternator

 

This is looking very nice! I love the paint scheme for the engine.

 

as you can tell i like black aha, look at my truck .. will look sick when I'm pulling this to the track ill be like a shadow once it gets painted

 

Put the intake manifolds on

Next to my truck

Steel motor mount bracket with new mounts.. don't mine the mess i was trying to find something and tore everything up aha, its cleaner now :P

 

made this bracket from scrap aluminum, polished it



mounted the AEM coils

 

Hmmm I like where this is going, keep the good work

 

Couple more updates

 

Looks sick man. Just a couple questions...
What turbo manifold are you using? Is the turbo touching the shock tower?
Did you paint the longblock parts, or did Addicted do it? What method? It looks really smooth and shiny.

Keep it up!

 

I'm going to be switching up my turbo manifold.. I sandblasted then sanded and then powder coated my long block parts.. You want to sand down all the caating grits off to get that smooth look.. I just got eye surgery done so ivwojt ve working on the car for a bit
