Man, that looks really good Sean the more I look at it.

 

Looks amazing man, I cant wait to do my V8 Swap.. As soon as I get back from next deployment

 

Thanks guys. It is a work in progress that is for sure. Should be starting her up next week. I will have more completion pics up soon.

 

POSTED A COUPLE DAYS AGO:

Soooo another day of f*ing around and sorry, no start up vid yet. I plan on trying tomorrow since I will have 3 hours free in the garage YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

Since I couldnt start it tonight due to my baby boy going to sleep at 6:30 and his room being right above the garage. Open headers would make him poop his diaper! However i did get some things done tonight:

Installed 2 grounds that I should have in the first place(other ground is on driverside). This fixed my cranking issue.:


Installed my Norris motorsports PCV catch can. Great product and nice qaulity:



Got in my black sparkplug wire boots....story on these is I ordered them a long time ago back when I wasnt gonna wrap my headers. Part got on back order, i forgot I ordered them due to all the other **** I ordered, they came in today lol. Figured I would sport them, they look good and to be honest I wasnt digging my red wires. :

Figured out my JTR bleeder location with upper radiator hose I was going to use. I ended up just rotating the hose and now the 'hump' is on the driver side. Now the bleeder is in the highest position.:


How she sits for start up tomorrow(intake layout is temporary of course):

Bad asssssss. Nice work Murray. We should get your build up on Speedhunters! You do nice work.

 

murray, are them EGT gauges stacked in the center above your radio?

 

very nice.

Im surprised the turds here who complain about air cones drawing hot air dont get on you for that. lol

 

Very nice man! I have always liked your car, one of the cleanest 7's. Hope your luck with the LSX is much better than it was with rotarys!

 

Thanks man! That would be awesome, I read speed hunters all the time. Thanks for the compliment bud, I try I try.

Yes sir. Auber electronics is the company.

Thanks Hyper. Actually the intake is temporary, I have this in the works:




Thank you! Very appreciative of the kind words. I hope the LSX swap does me good too....I miss driving he car and actually going fast

 

Hey man, really liking this swap, it's awesome!! Oh and what motor mounts and headers did you use?

 

Motor mounts are from a fabricator named PEZ on norotors.com
They use C5 vette pdistals and ebay hot rod rubber biscuits.



Headers are JTR 1 3/4" longtubes. JTR is Jags That Run, V8 swap specialist.

 

cool man, thanks for the info, I'll have to check out norotors.com. Keep up the good work!!

 

This confuses me. It's not leaking oil, and the idle is steady.

 

FIRST DRIVE yesterday.....MAN OH MAN was it SWEET!!

Everything works as expected. The Integra speedo only needed a little tap on the head and then the needle jumped and worked the whole 12 miles. The cooling temp differances in my gauges cleared up. The C6 Z06 clutch is very streetable, I was expecting something a little harsher lol. The low end torque is CRAZY...so nimble when cruising and has good street manners.

It goes to get the exhaust tomorrow morning. I drove it down today to the exhaust shop to have them take a peek at the ride height just in case I needed to raise it for their hoist. Height was fine. They were CRAZY EXCITED about it, I laughed as I pulled up because everyone in the parking lot/block was rubber necking me)

Got some pics of it today....it is dirty as all hell but I forgot how nice she sits. :yay:







INTAKE DONE



Interior cleaned


Ride height is nice but hopefully not too low(rear especially)

 

Exhaust DONE!!!!!





Turned out great looking!

The car is WAY louder then the camera makes it seem. The 6" Magnaflows really have a nice rasp to them. However I am happy I dont freeway travel....these babies will drone at higher speeds.

All that is left now is to get my bumper installed, make a shroud for my radiator/ intake and take it to Spokane on to get tuned this month

 

that intake location has bad new written on it

 

hey i bought your old steering wheel! dude great build i'm loving the lsx swap.

 

lol....no need to worry, I am fabricating a shroud that will seal it enviromentally but allow ambient airflow.

.... Got to love this club...always critics

 

Whoa?! One hella clean FC... And you have crush bent exhaust piping?

Anyways, looks awesome.

 

nice to see shes back on the road! now go make more track videos!

 

you know normally, id sit here and hate on v8 conversions
but this time, i literally have nothing to say, its done so clean and everything seems to be thought out well.
good job man

Lloyd

 

Yeah crushed...I know but manderal was crazy expensive in regards to welding labor. The bends are not too severe so I will take slight power hit to save some major cash...just gonna have more power on the bottom end

Thanks Greg!

Thank you very much man!

 

Great to see this car going again, wish you the best of luck on this setup.

 

yea, you didnt mention anything about a airbox of any sort. so i assumed you planned on keeping it that way.

 

i like how it started with a spun rotor bearing and ended up with a v8 lol
