Now what's everyone's opinion on running No Bov at low boost?

 

Cause who doesn't want to lay down in there racecar!

 

Been lazy for the past couple weeks.. Trying to find a counterweight finally found one should be on its way next week fromThe Wird! Woot on other news look at this they turned out awesome imo

 

Spring cleaning!!!

 

This thing looks like a monster truck. This color is amazing. I wanted SHINKA paint from the rx8 but it was 3 stage my dad had never shot before didn't want to mess it up

 

Haha no engine or tranny, and stock suspension= monster Rex haha! But yea the color is awesome not the best paint job needs some wet sanding but it's nice!

 

Hahah my buddy has a 66 Mustang coupe he parked next to my 7 one day when I still had the engine out and the stance was almost exactly the same; nose up.

 

Motors almost all dressed up with turbo parts waiting to get pulled out and swapped into the new car!

 

I notice that you didn't get a t2 pressure sensor in your list . I'm finishing up my second build right now with a 6 port and holset hx-52 turbo . My 1st was pretty much what you got for mods but running a rtek 1.8 with 800cc injectors . Now I sold the rtek and went with a haltech e6k and 1600cc for sec.'s . You can find a good used standalone for cheap ( I paid 450 with clean harness and some sensors ) . Nice build so far and looking forward to you finishing it

 

As off now I'm running a full t2 harness and ecu with the fic to do fuel and ignition changes, I will go standalone mostlikly once I go Bridgeport and big turbo till then I'll plug away and learn

 

Working on the door panels! A nice shave undecided if im going to viynal wrap or just paint it. Still waiting for engine hoist to pull/swap motor.. Haha oh well!

 

Got the motor out started tearing it down for cleaning/ paint , oil pan is super clean, think this is the original motor from 87! All seals are looking good, just need to get the eccentric bolt off so I can swap front covers and put my flywheel on , hoping the motor will be in the car with in 2 weeks!

 

things seem to be coming along quite nicely! half of my engine is currently sitting on my desk as my new clock

 

How did u undo your eccentric shaft bolt? I already broke acouple breaker bars 😔

 

one person with an impact gun on one side with the other sitting on a steel bar holding the flywheel in place. My flywheel nut was very stubborn as well.

I have an impact but we used dave's when he came over to give me a hand. He also has the flywheel bar. Helps to know people with tools

 

Okay, I'll give him a shout, just need it off to switch front covers! Ugh haha

 

Okay guys. This method is absolutely foolproof.

Buy the flywheel stopper. Much safer than using a stopper bar. Put that bitch on before you loosen flywheel nut. Last thing anybody needs is a steel bar flying across the garage.

After it's on, you need to take a propane torch to the bolt for a few minutes to melt the loctite. Now, with a THREE QUARTER INCH DRIVE BAR AND 19MM SOCKET, set it on there. Jave a heavy friend sit on your engine if you haven't a stand and slide an engine hoist leg over the bar. Use that 6ft of leverage to your advantage.

Repeat for flywheel nut except propane. It works every time. Didn't even break a sweat, worked the first time.

The trick is to bounce thr hoist leg on the bar until you hear the bolt creak and then heave it.

 

A 3/4 in rattle gun gets them off easily

 

the $20 or so odd dollars spent to do this right is worth it. Get the stopper for your flywheel. I have personally watched a flywheel shoot across a corn field .

 

Up date on cleaning/ painting the block
It's not perfect, but way better then What it looked like!
