Damn that sucks

 

And when Stu was with me that was a biiiigtime ticket if he had been a bad cop(Anderson SC) I was in triple digits He actually liked the car and asked how fast I had ever taken it!

 

did u tell him the truth or just say " oh bout 85 mayb 90" jk

 

damn dave welcome to my world. stupid ****** nc highway patrol. wish they would build a donut shop around here so we knew where they were lol.

 

Haha. I remember that ticket! Nice cop, I need to get him a doughnut.

Also Dave, I called Rob up and he said they don't sell the large streetports to the general public. They do it basically on demand with what the car is running with, turbo, standalone, etc. He said they get around 400whp with the medium SP and GT42 @ 12lbs. I asked him about the bridge and the power FC and he said it should work cause computers arn't THAT smart. I forgot everything he said cause kory and I and his friend are painting S4 tail lights in the shed. Paint fumes FTW.

 

Funny you mention the Bridge port Stu. I was just telling Josh I found a couple guys running HBP on the PFC like I have. Soooo, I gues I will be performing a HBP with Medium Primary ports? And matching exhaust?

I want to thank Josh for swapping me a rotating assembly from a S4 T2 for the S4 n/a rotating assy I had. Know I need a housing, seals and engine o'rings.

I am going to take the turbo apart tonight and see if it survived the ordeal...fingers crossed.

 

I got a nice bridgeport here, and I will most likely get the Medium SP from Pineapple Racing. Plus I got the Bridgeport/PP exhaust on the way too Let me know if you want them.

 

You could always go with something like this :

umm, yeah, cause those are what I was going to order. Let me know when they show up so I can come over and drool with the masses!! I am actually kinda stoked that I get to port it now. I wanted to last time but didn't have the time to keep it down. Should be even more fun on the track after this.
Thanks Stu.

I'll get the medium SP template if you haven't ordered it already let me know

 

ok stupid question. i gave the pieces i got a lookover. are front n rear rotors identical and housings too?

 

^ yup.

 

yea as long as both rotors are either s5 or s4. s4s are heavier than the s5s so if you mix em up youll have a very expensive mistake that happens to give you a massage when you start it.

 

cool. I think the other motor is an s4, the one just bak from Dave is an s5. does somebody got an extra one they would trade?(rotor) I'll see how much they want for the block. im sure one of them is good.

 

I think i just creamed...

 

with that little supercharger no wonder hes got all those tropies.

 

Well, today i decided I wanted to work on the car some more...so i tinted my tails!





Thanks Stu for helpin out! I think they turned out great
they still need to be wetsanded and waxed and what not but they look really good so far

 

I got an S4 TII rotors if you want.

 

Yeah they did turn out nice! Sorry we couldn't get the diffusers out. Looking back I am glad we didn't, if you wanted to sand them off it would be hard to get everything perfect. Then again, it's just light.

Also, they look darker in person. Dang flash!

 

Dave I haven't ordered them yet. I don't think they have even sent my exhaust template yet, and its been almost 2 months. I am in no rush to get them (until kinda now) since I had no reason to use them. I bet if I called I could get the template shipped for free. Also, the templates I have here out of paper (bridge, big bridge, J port), how much would it be to get them made in metal?

I don't know how you want to copy the exhaust template, since it is curved.

 

Well, the engine is in and it almost busted off tonight. I think I may have to call on "Big Blue" for a little assist tomorrow. The only issue I ran into so far is a coolant leak at the water pump. I guess I'll pull it off and reseal everything. I only put gasket sealer on one side of the gaskets. I'll seal them real good next time.

looking good Sam

 

Hey Sam, how hard was it to run your front mount intercooler piping?

 

Hey josh/Stu. I am missing 2 inner oil control rings from one of the rotors. The one Stu got his hands on and let seals fall everywhere Let me know if you have them laying around the house/shed. They are cleaning up nicely here at work. they had alot of carbon stuck seals and springs( side seals and springs) 1 broken side seal and a few bent springs. Hopefully I can salvage a good bit from them,

 

yea we got em and stu said he has any hard seals you may need so shoot me a list buddy.

 

Hey Josh, you got that teaser vid ready yet?
