Subscribed. Really like the push connect fitting and you "dash"!

 

.."honey..the studs are here...and those long engine things arrived too"..lol!

 

yep studding mine too.... better be safe than sorry

 

Oversize bolts or studs? It took me awhile to decide.

 

Working away slowly upgrade injectors id2000 and id1000 plus smart coils and a few rising rpm bits. And working on my hardline bending still needs work

 

Some small updates, got a tps sorted. As well as the lines for the Wategate. Also the uim cleaned and painted.

 

finally got the car out of storage has been slow working with a buddy to get his car rolling. i finally got a start on it started with a test fit of the new hood?intercooler










and during the downtown with out the car i picked up a mini mill and started with a side mount alternator for buddys car and did some engraving on my rising rpm oil pedestal.




and semi finished my fuel lines 2 may get redone.

 

made some progress finally installed the motor



took forever to make the decision to mount my aem coils here not sure its the best place but it made the most sense i think.



An fittings for the wastegate lines i hate making -4 lines so much always getting pricked putting them together.



i do need to figure out the best way to sneak my hotside intercooler piping around my rad hose. this might require major modification i hope not any suggestions?



made a small bracket with my mini cnc to hold the fuel and oil pressure transducer hoping my cheap transducers last.

 

long time no post here we go.

finally got the car wired and started little over a month ago and everything went relatively smooth.






installed my new with a quick trim to get it to close.




then two drives in of very light tuning it begins to run funny down low so we take it home we were not very far luckily. only to find the front rotor has low compression and upon further inspection there was some marks on the rotor. so there goes another motor i have not dissembled it yet as i dont have a hoist but with my inspection camera i got a good look at what may have caused it. it looks like some chrome flaking on the center iron and you can feel it with a pick. unfortunately with the motor taking a dive it sent some motor bits threw my brand new turbo so it need a new turbine wheel.





Not ready to give up yet as i already ordered all the parts needed to assemble my last motor with a thicker s5 rear iron goopy seal and oversized bolt. it just needs to be ported just a street port.

 

well looks like ever apex seal broke not sure why as the tune was pretty rich. it did run still which i find amazing.

 

Wait!..did you pull that engine alreday?
I just brought you the hoist 6 hours ago~!..in the rain!

 

Man that really blows! Were the housings okay?
