My Goopy, To4r, Ps1000 final build
 

Well, after years of halfassing my car, it was finally time to start over and do it right. I stripped my 88 SE after the wiring done by T&R melted my whole main harness and fuse block.
In the mean time I picked up a 89 GXL and daily drove the car till I was ready to swap. I cleaned And painted every suspension bit from my SE black and install red poly bushings.
Once everything was painted, I pulled the motor in the GXL , then it was time to drop the subframe and all the front suspension, I also pulled the fenders and bumper. I stripped the engine bay, power washed, primed, sanded, and had my buddies dad 2 stage the white bay black. Then with the fenders removed I primed and undercoated the wheel wells and under the car.
Once the bay dried it was on, all front suspension was put back in, I bought new oem ball joints and tie rods everything.. I also swapped my mazdatrix adjustable swaybar links out for oem S4 ones with poly bushing due to the noise and maintenance that has to be done
Now that the car stands on its own feet time to put my freshly built Goopy motor into its fresh new home. Which btw was not the easiest feat, my buddies and I usually have the motors in and out in about 20min, but this time I couldn't afford to scratch my new paint, so very painfully it took us about an hour to get it bolted in.
Anyway here some pix of my progress...

I'm running FFE crank trigger kit and fuel rails, along with ID1000 primaries and ID2000 secondaries. The rails are feed parallel with -8an SS lines that are Y'd from a -10 line I have a aeromotive a1000 pump I'm unsure I'm gonna use I might run 2 044's Intank but I'm still undecided.
Ignition I am using aem ign-1a smart coils and I will be making my own msd wires provided by C. Ludwig who has excellent service he also remade my hacked up haltech harness and provided me a PnP harness for the coils. The radiator is a Godspeed with a flexalite black magic fan which is replacing my beatup koyo and fiero fan. Intercooler is from an Isuzu NPR and has always givin me low aits.
Here some more pix...

All new clutch and brake hydrolics braided -3an, B&M line lock, I'm running a HKS to4R, neukin turbo manifold, tial 60mm wastegate, 15lb spring and a 50mm tial bov. 3in strait turbo back exhaust, DP and manifold have been heat wrapped and sprayed with a high temp silicone, also have a Godspeed heat shield for the back half of the turbo

Decided it was time to make it look like a car again and reassembled my front put the fenders and bumper back on

Had to get creative make my own mount for the coils, ran some fuel line... I also laid all my harness In the bay ... the inside of the car is a disaster.. But yeah this is the last few months of work mostly after work and on the days off I'm allowed to play with the car heres a pic of what I do during the day.. all my tools are at work so this entire carand the other has been stripped and put together completely by hand all I have at home is a 100 piece craftsman set

Well spent most of today cleaning up little odds and ends, got my wires from Ludwig. Spent a bit making my wires I think they came out well.

where did you get the plug wires from?

Got the plug wires from Ludwig. Hope to get a bunch done before football today

decided to run and 044 intank set up anyone know any thing about the Jay racing pro series 044, supposedly it flows 10% more and uses less amps?

I have the Jay racing 044, I ran it with no issues until I seized it by clamping down on it too tight :(. I have another one sitting on the shelf for my next build.

I didn't measure the flow or current so I don't have any conclusions as to whether it performs better than a regular 044. I did get it cheaper than a regular 044 though.

Yeah I just bought the regular one from them 10 bux more but I feel more comfortable with out the mixed reviews

In an attempt to finish up the rear suspension I bought some oem rear camber links to replace the shity blown out ones. I also need a right rear caliper, and an outer axle boot to finish it all up. then I think I'm completely fucked on my axles, the dust caps on the back of the flang wore thru and they don't make replacements so Im gonna see if the ones on my NA axles are interchangeable, if not I'll be the asshole who silicones my axles to my diff lol.
Today I have off, I'll get some little things done, should be getting my 044 and fittings today so I can play with making my tank top.

Well got a lot of wiring done yesterday and today I set up my tank top here's what I got... Any suggestions or comments welcome...

Got my injector clips all sorted out so I checked all my fittings tightened them and installed my UIM, ran my throttle cable, modified my brake booster line, ran some vacuum lines and a bunch of other small things also took a couple of pix of my interior. I ordered some new skinny wheel locks so I can put my wheels on and finish installing my bumper and fenders. Also plan on ordering a mac 3 port boost control solenoid and bracket from Ludwigs website, I plan on controlling boost with the haltech instead of using my profecB type 2 which is for sale if anyone's interested. I just needed to get some work done before this gay hurricane ruins the rest of the week. I have a week vacation in a couple weeks I hope to get a lot of the car done, its almost there just a bunch of small things left I pretty much have already set up

Ordered my boost control solenoid and braket engine bays almost done gonna have to drop the rear soon

nice build. i would suggest moving the O2 sensor further back from the turbo to increase its longevity.

Thanks yeah when I redo the exhaust I'll be having a better DP made up

Being this hurricane let up I figured I'd get a little work done.
Installed and tightened my cold side IC pipe all t bolt clamps, and my strut bar. Resealed and mocked up my premix reservoir for my RA adaptor just need to mount it and get some -4 braided line to run. I ordered my boost controller solenoid so I mocked up my lines need to use the extra -4 line to run the waste gate the hose the one I have on there isn't long enough to reach where the solenoid will be mounted. Ran my oil vent line and did some eBay shopping for a catch can. I also tightened down my DP and installed the Godspeed exhaust housing heat shield I bought a while ago which can out really nice. To end today FedEx is up and running so I'm waiting to receive my lug nuts so I can put my nice wheels on and finish bolting down my fenders and bumper. also might be picking up my friends sno performance water meth kit

Got my fronts on today, also finished bolting down the fenders and bumper. They have 245 40 18 contis on them. I run tokito blues and intrax springs all around. I had to roll the shit out of the fenders, and there's like a mm between the sturt and the wheel, no rubbing. I know my rotors are on backwards when I took it all apart they got swapped..
here some pix of my dirty ass whip

Put my pump top on today with new ss hex head bolts. Did a bunch misc stuff, should have my boost control valve this week . Need to order a catch can and -4 line. Will do wiring next week I have off hoping to get this thing moving soon. Also trying to find a new base map for my new mods..

I am thinking of seeing goopy for my next build. I have all ready talked to Jonathan. I am following your thread closely. Keep up the good work.

Thanks man, Jonathan set me up well for my first build resurfaced housings, 2mm oversized seals, solid corners and his Coolant Orings. I clearanced everything really tight and got excellent compression #s. the motor is largely ported and has appx 2k miles on it.
I got my boost control solenoid and bracket and ordered an oil catch can and -4 braided line for the wastegate and external 2 stroke reservoir

Here's a pick of my MAC boost solenoid and bracket I got from Ludwig

Got a free set of rays 370z rear wheels they're 19x10 +30 gonna see if I can get them to fit on the back.. I just ordered energy suspension bump-stop #9.9101 for a front diff pinion snubber.. also found a Mazdaspeed oil fill cap I had got while working at Mazda It doesn't fit our fill tube but Im gonna see if I can mod the catch can I have coming to use it as a top. I also got my braided line so I'll set up the wastegate- boost solenoid and my 2 stroke tank. It's gonna be warm this week I have vacation I'm gonna see if I can damn near finish this hog...I Got a 300 dollar order to place with Mazdatrix then that's it I can start the rear I'd really like to finish the whole front first before taking more shit apart

2 stroke reservoir mounted and hose ran. Boost control solenoid mounted and lines ran. Also ran wires for the fuel pump and ignition. Disconnected coils so I don't fry them when I plug in the ecu... I'll be finishing the wiring soon then getting the rear ready
