Preparing for a build
Posted 07-26-2008 at 05:18 PM by yesItsdsm
As it stands my car is posted for sale. I have had the motor in and out at least 4 times Since I bought the car in November 07. I've experienced spun bearings, a stripped timing belt, a broken oil pick-up and many other mainly smaller issues.
With that being said a lot of people are bs'ing me about buying the car, so this week I will be rebuilding the bottom end and starting a new build. -with ARP rod bolts too this time
I want to build a cost-effective 300+ hp 14b powered car. I have a set of FP2 cams installed, and also a 255 fuel pump. I plan on pushing the 14b to the limit. I also have most of the parts I need to install water injection (just missing a nozzle and boost switch). Water injection will allow me to milk the setup for more timing and hopefully help with gas mileage. After that who knows maybe I'll throw on a 75 wet shot of nitrous and push the stock block to it's limit.
I plan on either tuning it with DSMlink or E-Manage and maybe picking up a set of 550cc injectors. I think he stock injectors would be fine with the water injection until I start spraying, but a wideband and datalogger will tell...
I just hope I'm not leaving anything out for this build, I have most of the stuff I need already the only links I am missing is a tuning solution and wideband. I'm be picking those up early fall sometime. Just gonna run low boost til then.

I knew you'd end up keeping it. I saw that coming a mile away.
