Sweet! Yeah. I'm perfectly content with 300-350hp. One last question.. Were you running 550's in your primaries with the 1600's in your secondaries? I'm trying to figure out a suitable injector combination for myself which is why I ask.

 

yes exactly, 550s and 1600s. Worked very well for me, just needed meth!

 

Perfect!

 

New bearings for my rotors. Most likely from the owner I got them from had over revved the engine.



New coolant temp gauge. Didn't want another bulky round gauge, running out of cockpit space.





Getting everything cleaned up.




S6 housings are templated, and ready for porting.



Sketchy porting from the last owner..

 

Got the porting cleaned up by Steve (Schlodes). The last engine had an extended large streetport (BRAP), but once pulling it apart i found a ton of big problems with the porting. Steve took care of it like a boss. The ports are massive now, and will flow incredibly. The rotor housings were stock port on the last engine too, so now they match the intake in massiveness. So long to what little torque I had before lol.

These are Steve's pictures:











Engine parts are back home, got the irons painted. The engine should be together by next week, I'm hoping.

 

Super ugly manifold, lots of emissions things and sensors to remove.





Made dese





Got rid of the secondaries, thermowax, and all the other crap on the TB.

 

Got my rotors cleaned up, fully clearanced, and pressed in a new bearing to one.







Almost ready to assemble!

 

Made some billet aluminum engine mounts tonight. The polyurethane mounts I had last year were ok, but wanting to go full solid.

 

Drilled and tapped for my new coolant temp sensor






Picked up my turbo, Garrett GT4088R

 

Parts I forgot to order



Finally built my engine!



Assembling Rotors


All assembled. Vaseline to keep everything in place


Sexy wife helper






All assembled, torquing things

 

Checking crank endplay








Intake all done



Test fitting intake / exhaust manifolds, and turbo. All clears!

 

nice cant wait to hear it Glease.. bad ***

 

It looks very nice.
I wonder though why you used an adaptor for the temp sender since you were tapping it yourself.

 

Thanks a lot man!


Good question, the hole was already tapped for an M12x1.50, and I needed it to be 1/8NPT for the sensor. So I just drilled it out to 1/2NPT and adapted it down.

 

Well, that explains it.

 

wut kind of paint did u use to paint the manifold?

 

i demand more pictures of the wife.

 

I used this, it's great stuff. Dries really fast as well.





I'm sure more will follow lol

 

Got my meth kit plumbed to the trunk. Loomed up the harness and tucked it all away. Still working on the finishing details.







Removed power steering and A/C, at least 80lbs of junk. Made these plugs for the rack.




Got the engine in place. Everything fit just fine. Going to have to relocate my wastegate a few inches, but no big deal.

On/Off switch

 

Had good help






SO much room now


Rolled outside to clean up the floor, and for glamour shots of course



Shop all clean again, and mc-dusty back in.


The manifolds aren't bolted up yet, just mounted to see if it all fits. Should be all together by the end of the week.

 

start it yet?

 

Fixing this from what happened last year. Sent power to something by accident, made fire.







Wiring up a billion things.




New gauge thinger, to accommodate my temporary fan switch and the Meth.











All interior wiring and meth routing done!

 

Lot's done, getting closer to making engine noises. Finally assembling, instead of just test fitting.

Got my exhaust out from storage


Came up a little short lol



Tom'd

 

Filled in my mistake




Tig'd it at work.











Straightened the flanges of my manifold

 

Finally all bolted down for good



Got my fuel system in order. I'll be out flowing the stock fuel lines this year, but I'll have to stay within the limits of it this year. Can't do it all at once...






1000CC Primaries and 1600CC secondaries







Saved some money and modified my fuel rails instead of buying new ones just to get rid of the stock FPR and dampener. I'll need new ones whenever I upgrade fuel lines anyways. Ended up finding out the rails were brazed together, so it made welding them up really tricky. I had to use super low heat to stop the rails from de-soldering. Got it though, opened the rails up a ton and got rid of the unneeded equipment.
