For you non-Evom people (my build)

[dryad001]

I finally got around to start my build. Engine will be out this week and off to the machine shop. When I get enough time Ill add in the specifics of the build. AC will also be coming out, just need to figure out how to get rid of the freon. Heres a few pics to start off with:

Overall the cylinder walls are in great shape and even after 50k the cross hatch is still there. Ill see if I cant get a good picture of it.

The floater plate, flywheel and pressure plate are all in very good condition

And I couldnt have done it without my helper. She sits quietly in the corner of the garage, amazing for a shepherd.

And I decided to see what the car would look like wingless. So far I like it a lot especially my wing the clear coat is completely gone. So this is what it looks like right now.

[dryad001]

Engine is damn near complete. I had him hold of finishing it so I could get some pictures, and here they are:

He just got done with the last rings for file fitting them, cross hatching looks very good as well.

[dryad001]

Anyways, I got most of the motor together for a mock-up to see if I retained all of the bolts and things getting moved around 3 times.

Before anyone says anything I just noticed the alternator bracket is on wrong.

[dryad001]

Ordered a few things.

Haltech E8 PNP
Full Blown twin pump set-up (-6, -6)

[dryad001]

Just to give an overview of everything. I should be in the 700-750whp range when its all done. Turbo is chnaged to a HTA88 T4Z

[Speed JUnkyz]

Awesome!!! You doing this yourself?


Oh yeah Awesome Pooch! We have a Pure Bred All Black Germy....His name is Buddy. the only thing not black on him is his gotee, its grey from age gaga

[dryad001]

Yes, everything except the machine work I have done myself. The car has seen the dealership once in its life and they are the reason my tranny took a dump a few years ago. It was rebuilt with a shep tranny and got the t-case done at the same time.



GSDs are some awesome animals, she is a little bit bigger now. 8 months and close to 70lbs

[ABSOLUTE]

nice job on the motor. I have a german sheppard mixed with english bulldog. she is 7 months and is up to 85pounds

[JONPKA24]

engine looks great, and if you send me your wing, i can spray on some clear coat on it forya, i do auto body

[dryad001]

Im actually going to keep it off. Ill probably get the rexspeed wing. I never did like the huge wing in the back.

[dryad001]

Alright heres a small update. Within the last few weeks the car moved to a new shop so reorganizing was needed.

But heres the clutch, Carbonetic Triple Carbon

Full Blown twin pump system -6 feed, -6 return
http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b109/dryad001/P3150797.jpg

I ended up ripping out the stock fuel lines and replacing them with the braided SS lines. I just got the first line from the tank to the bottom of the car. It seems the stock line locks on the under side of the car will hold everything in place perfectly with slight modification.

[robogast]

OK heres a few of the pup, when she was really small

Currently she is about 70lbs and only 9 months old.

[JONPKA24]

where you get the throttle body and intake manifold?

[dryad001]

Cant remember the name off of EvoM but its a AMS VSR manifold.

[Speed JUnkyz]

AWWWW Get that puppie a coat for when it is handling biz in the snow HAHA lol awesome poooch!

[dryad001]

I can give you the name of the breeder I got her from. They are on a 2 year waiting list. Each pup is close to $2000USD. She was flown in from Germany with the USA rep in CO, I picked her up while living there earlier this year.

So far she is doing very well and is close to getting her SchH I rating. It's a lot of hard work but it pays off in the long run. This is the first dog Ive trained my self and have learned a lot from her, theres no way anyones taking the dog from me. They would have to rip her out of my cold dead arms.

Forgot I had this one. This was the day I pulled the engine. She was guarding the household...actually she wanted to run across the street and play with the neighbor kids.

[Speed JUnkyz]

Holy Big Photo Batman!


How old was she in each photo, cause this last one she looks big.....

[dryad001]

In the first set she was no more than 12 weeks old. In the latest pic she is 7 months, she is currently 9 months.

[Speed JUnkyz]

ok back on topic people jk lol ;) cute pup though HAHA....

[dryad001]

Yeah back on topic. Anyways Im waiting to head to the AMS swap meet this weekend. Hopefully theres going to be some good buys and I can bring back a ton of stuff to get closer to the end of the build. My AN fitting collection is down to nothing and I still need quite a few more (i hate how expensive they are) Heck Im still trying to re-coup from throwing the engine in on Suday and the weekend is almost here again.

[Speed JUnkyz]

Yeah let us know about those swap meets lol I would love to go to one

[dryad001]

Leaving for the swap meet in a few min. Just got done with this last night. Im missing 1 AN fitting to make it complete. Every single line has been pressure tested to 120psi, a PITA but well worth it. I dont need fuel dumping out all over the road.

Enjoy

[Speed JUnkyz]

Awesome... This is the Sex thread lol Pure Sex! lol


ur oil cap is on backwards HAHA ;) JK

[dryad001]

Thanks, just wait till the manifold and turbo show up, thats going to be kick ass. Im going with a front facing manifold so the turbo inlet is going to be right above the IC core.

[Speed JUnkyz]

Yeah thats crazy! We are scared to upgrade turbo and cams. We are afraid we will compromise the rest of the reliability that we have left lol..

[dryad001]

I beat the hell out of that car with the stock and 3065 turbos. I held 30psi all the time with nothing ever go wrong with the engine or head itself. When I had the block machined the builder said its the best bearing wear he has ever seen in a car with over 50k.

[dryad001]

Well gaskets are becoming a big PITA to find for the car. I had to drive over 2 hours to just get an intake manifold gasket yesterday. Its so close to the finish I can taste it.

The fuel system just needs to be wired and its done. The engine harness is almost done. All I need to do now is figure out what turbo to go with and be done with it. Then its being sent to AMS for a 93 map and a Q16 map.

Once I get back to the shop today Ill have more pics since I left my camera there

[dryad001]

New ignition

I have to take some time away from the project for the next few weeks since next weekend Ill be in Vegas for UFC 91, and the following week I colse on my house with moving in the following days to about a week.

All of this came at a horrible time with booting thr GF to the curb last night. I almost feel better already.

[dryad001]

Well its been a long process so far and the build came to a halt for about a month since I bought a house and slowly moving in. Moving the car in the dead of winter kinda sucked but shes cozy in her new home all to herself. I have an extra 1.5 garage in my backyard that was built for toys so I figure its a damn good toy to have in there.

Anyways, the AEM is installed with a lot of the sensors that have been calibrated.

[dryad001]

Almost forgot. When I fired up the AEM there was a huge fuel leak. Seems like the o-rings that came with the injectors were a bit too small so luckily I had an extra set of viton seals laying around and its all good. I turned the FPR up to about 100psi and no leaks so I brought it back down to about 43psi for the first startup

Pics will be soon. I need to find out what box my camera got packed into and everything sorted.

[intotrouble]

awesome build man:headbang2:
