Too bad you can't see the exhaust headers in the car, these were just starting to look cool. | | | 03-20-2017, 02:41 AM | #92 | Member Join Date: Nov 2015 Location: missouri Posts: 99 | Washed out the engine bay, and heater box area and drains. Even scrubbed out the ecu box. Still deciding how i want to paint the bay, but still have a lot of brackets to cut off and smooth down so i have some time. | | | 03-26-2017, 03:31 PM | #93 | Member Join Date: Nov 2015 Location: missouri Posts: 99 | Decided to go with rhino lining. Also coated the inside of the frame raills. | | | 03-28-2017, 02:50 PM | #94 | Member Join Date: Nov 2015 Location: missouri Posts: 99 | Un-created the engine and getting ready to drop it in. Had the wrong pilot bearing or i would of had it in last night. So try again tonight. | | | 03-29-2017, 04:54 AM | #95 | Member Join Date: Nov 2015 Location: missouri Posts: 99 | I guess my test bay worked, because it went right in first try. | | | 03-30-2017, 05:15 PM | #96 | Member Join Date: Nov 2015 Location: missouri Posts: 99 | Its coming together. Felt kinda bad cutting brand new air ducts that had to come from Germany, but oh well. Also got the new hood cable installed, not looking forward to doing another one of those. | | | 04-06-2017, 01:34 AM | #97 | Member Join Date: Nov 2015 Location: missouri Posts: 99 | | | | 04-06-2017, 05:14 AM | #98 | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2011 Location: SoCal Posts: 702 | NICE!!!!!!! Honestly if it was any other forum that had more active users this would thread would be a lot more cluttered up. Your not getting the attention I feel like this would deserve!

Nice build. Better search for a ZF gearbox and some beefier axles! What ecu will you run? Also curious about that oil pump. Is it quiet? Have you bench tested it to see flow and scavenging abilities? IIRC in the M5 it was just used to drain the heads in heavy turning (>0.8G). | | | 04-06-2017, 02:17 PM | #100 | Member Join Date: Nov 2015 Location: missouri Posts: 99 | Where is the fun in changing them before I get to break them. As for ecu ill run a modified dasc tune to "pass" emissions and a haltek standalone for when i try to find the limits of this contraption. As for the oil pump i figured I'd give it a try and yes i bench ran it. it has very good flow and actually very quiet. The question will be the long term run of it. Its not scavenging off the turbo, it draws from the pan to the cooler and back to the pan. | | | 04-06-2017, 06:04 PM | #101 | Member Join Date: Nov 2015 Location: missouri Posts: 99 | | | | 04-08-2017, 11:09 PM | #102 | Member Join Date: Nov 2015 Location: missouri Posts: 99 | Re-floorpaned the hatch and this is my new setup. | | | 04-14-2017, 02:15 PM | #103 | Member Join Date: Nov 2015 Location: missouri Posts: 99 | Tank and bottles mounted and front end going on. Might get it on the road this weekend! That is if i finish all the wiring. | | | 04-18-2017, 01:48 AM | #104 | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2009 Location: US Posts: 315 | This is such a cool build. Sorry of you stated already but what rad hoses are you using? | | | 04-18-2017, 02:42 AM | #105 | Member Join Date: Nov 2015 Location: missouri Posts: 99 | I did about 18 hours of wiring this weekend and I'm still not quite done. But got a gauge pod made for center console and an aux fuse box in the glovebox to run all the additional items. Took it for a short spin tonight and at 1200 rpms it makes the 6 psi from the supercharger and by 1700rpms its making 15psi witch means the waste gate was fully open before 2000 rpms. Now im pretty confident it will make any boost i want it to.and as for the radiator hoses, they are stainless steel formable hoses from a dress up kit i had gotten for my 68 camaro that i hadn't gotten around to using. | | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
