looking really good man..congrats,don't forget to throw some chicken blood on her right before start up to please the motor build gods...

lol ill probably sacrafice a damn horse to make sure she runs lol considering its my first build i need all the help i can get from the "ENGINE GODS"

Hello again everyone, here is the latest, not quite finished but getting there. She is going to look even better than i thought, but it isnt the looks its the power im most interested in. stay tuned...

looking good!

im jealous your gettting to put it in and get so hands on!

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++=

Looking great can't wait to see some stats on what she's pushing Keep up the good work and kudos for your first build

well heres a pic of how she looked when all was back inside.


Heres one with the doolz


and heres one just for the heck of it


there are still some bugs to work out. when i get back i plan on throwing up the test pipes and H-pipe and running a self diagnostic to see what codes shes throwing, i think i just crossed over the O2 sensor and the number 5 harness but not totally sure, wish me luck. I am currently in Alabama with my Mom. She was diagnosed with breast cancer and is going under the knife tomorrow morning. I ask a favor, if any of you like to pray please do it for my mom, my family has alreayd been rocked pretty hard by the cancer disease thanks in advance...

Ok so for the past few days i have been troubleshooting this build. I have eliminated all my vacuum leaks adjusted the TPS in and checked the timing which needs to be advanced to 15 degrees and is currently sitting at 10 degrees. Reason i havnt done anything about it would be becuase i cant keep it running long enough after i disconnect the passenger side coil pack. It is throwing a temp sensor code, i cleaned the connecter and reconnected it, reset the ecu, still the same code...there are small little backfires as it sits and runs, under acceleration it seems sluggish. As it sits and runs i put my hand over the exhaust, the passenger side is richer and appears black while the driver side burns clean with no suit at all....any help or suggestions would be great.

bump

turns out its bad to bend the new belt before you install it...im using that as my scape goat for why my car may have jumped a tooth...hopefully i caught it in time and didnt suffer any valve train damage. So far it doesnt sound as though such a thing has happened but to prevent anything like this from happening again i purchased a Greddy Kevlar belt problem solved, ill install it tomorrow and hopefully have some results soon on video for all to enjoy happy Zing

Reid, man, that's a lot of nice work, sounds like you dodged a bullet on the belt thing there.

Sorry just catching up with your updates, so talking about dodging a bullet how's yer Mom? Prayers are with her and your family, buddy.

oh my. good thing you didnt drive up

ok put the flower pot mod on and WOW that made an amazing diffrence. Fixed almost all of the problems i was experienceing. It still needs a dyno tune and i need to replace the power steering solonoid on the steering rack but after that, shell be mechanically 100%

lol. i know that feeling.

stupid pots

see you weds?

congrats

Hey pimpin your car is beautiful!!

some of you have heard of my little rumble and tuble i had going on. She sounded like a v8 since the timing jump and hadnt figured out why. well i went to Z1 to dyno tune her and get everyone some numbers. Before i even put her on there someone pointed out she sounded like she was running on 5 cylenders and thats when i discovered i had 0 compression in # 6 So my girls family friend Nick owns a tranny shop and he was good enough to let me use a bay and his huge shop collection of tools during his slow week while i was on con leave this past week. I pulled the plenum and the valve covers off to discover a two stuck lifters. One was #6 and was holding the valve in the open most position and the other was minor was only sticking a little but enough to be a problem if i ever wanted real results out of the motor. So i pulled the motor, removed the head and discovered a bent valve to go along with the stuck lifter. So i took it to a machine shop and replaced the valve re installed the head and put the motor back in in 3 days i was pretty proud of myself. The fourth day i installed all the nick nacks (tranny, exhaust, once over the wiring harness etc) and then did a compression check #6 #4 #1 #3 and #5 all 150 but # 2.... 0 compression. This is enough to make a grown man cry. I was furious, so i installed the new 11B spark plugs (%&$*#* NGK iridiums never again) coil packs toped off the fluids and started her up she sounded beautiful compared to how it was last time, so smooth and i let her idle for probably 45 minutes while i bled the air out of the coolant. Drove her and she was driving amazing, felt like a new car. Got to the house checked the compression on # 2 and wam bam thank you mam 150 psi WOOOOO HOOO. Any ways still need to run a boost leak test but after that i think shes ready for the dyno

Can I drive ?
