Whats up guys!?! Anything new to report?

Well I have the FC back on jack stands.
After I realized my 40mm Wg was too small and was getting beat to **** by my 62-1, I ordered an HKS 50mm. SINCE I had it in the air I decided to get a Greddy relief valve for overboost protection. Then I was also sick of seeing my BATT voltage @ 12.4 volts at 2K so I sent oout my alternator and had it re-wound to 130AMPS and ditched the underdrive alt pilley.

THEN while waiting for my alternator(took a month) I did some interior work. I ended up putting nice high qaulity vinyl on the door panel center section in black. It looks good BUT now I want to replace the nasty grey carpet on the bottom section of the door with black carpet.

I got the car all back together this weekend in hopes of driving it BUT the used gasket I got with the HKS WG was bad(car sounded like a ******* motorcycle at idle and I had major blow by. I might not have seated it proper too though) so I have ordered a new one. I also ceramic coated my HKS tubular manifold and bought a new roll of fiberglass wrap to add to the mani and DP.

My engine bay temps should be SO COOL temp wise as well as my AIT after all this. Plus my heat shields and turbo blanket help too.

Hopefully this weekend it will be back together and I can finish my road WOT pulls. THEN OFF TO THE DYNO.........what is the status on that Ransom by the way??


Matt: Did you figure out your issue. Did you smoke your lights copycat?

FC3S Murray, glad to see you've been making progress. Sucks about the gaskets though. Can't wait to see your car someday in person

I am hoping to be operational by the end of march. So hopefully just in time for the nice weather. Do we want to trailer? We can use the Tundra we just need to find a 2 car trailer to rent.

I should really get at least 600 miles on this motor before I even think of hitting the dyno. I am down for hitting the dyno and splitting some time with ya if you can wait on my slow ***. Hopefully it should not take to long to get broke in once I get er goin. I don't sleep much and that will fill some time.

Theres a free dyno thing going on in bozeman in the late spring if you guys want to come along. Why pass up a free dyno session? We're taking a caravan of cars down there (road trip) and we get to use the facility for the whole day for free.

No need to fret I am ALIVE, giggle.


ransom- I will go in on a two car trailer with ya for sure!! I feel much better knowing that I have a plan B with the Tundra.

The one in Bozeman is tempting BUT I don't want to fight with a bunch of people(probably ricers) and fight for some time. I am expecting about 2 to 2.5 hours one a dyno, i have a lot a fuel to pull in mid range boost transition.


HURRY UP post office, I want this car together by SAT!!!!!!!!!!!


Sorry to hear about the car buddy, get her fixed and looking new k?
