Won't be able to tune until late may early june. I found a load cell dyno near me so I should be able to a real good tune.

 

Great build you have going on. Would love to see it finished on Base

 

dropped engine in this morning. planning on first start up next weekend

sent my manifold to ATP to get inconel wrapped

 

Damn ATP wrap

 

Smart choice IR gun temps after shutdown show 480 degrees on manifold and 200 degrees on the wrap. It really helps control the heat. On the bottom of the manifold you may want to have ATP trim the two underside bolt areas especially if you have arp exhaust bolts. I had to trim the shielding somewhat to get the nuts on the bolts.

 

I dunno if you chose the right diff for the power you going for... A stage 2 puddymod is only rated for 350whp as per Puddydad.. I have 370rwhp and blew my AP1 diff to pieces even with being cautious about launching and banging gears. I am waiting on him to finish my stage 3 diff, no worries about ever blowing it again under 500-600whp

 

Thats what i thought also. but puddydad told me he has people with 550ish whp running it and as long as im not stupid it should last.

if it breaks ill just buy a new one and get him to build it better

 

Brian,

Looks like we accidently send you a second package that was supposed to go to another customer. Fed ex confirms it has been delivered to you. Can I email you the label as a PDF to slap on the box and drop at any fed ex or kinkos near you?
Please let me know As soon as possible. Thank you for your assistance. I have tried contacting you by email and PM with no reply yet you have logged into the forum on a few occations already. Please contact me.


Regards,
Gregory

 

Came in the other day :



Also got exhaust on last weekend. After work tonight I plan on puttin in work on my S and make the fuel lines and start connecting things to the engine. I have been slacking on my project lately.
Oh and also bought ARP exhaust manifold studs and installed them :-)

 

FINALLY got the FB dual hanger fittings not to leak!! holds 40 psi steady on my IP fuel rail! First car start up is looking like tomorrow after church!
just need to:
bleed brakes/clutch
reroute fuel lines
install rest of turbo kit
add all fluids
do a once over on all parts to make sure they are tight and good and have my friend follow up

Also I have been having a problem with the Ptuning turbo manifold bolt holes not being perfectly matched up where they should be.. I sent it to Ptuning but they said it fit their car just fine. It doesn't fit on mine so I am going to have to widen out 2 bolt holes on the manifold to make it fit

Hopefully getting it tuned beginning of july after we get the street tune good and get AFRs set right. hopefully hit 600whp on E85

Also does anyone have any tips on how to break in the engine on the street?
