My winter build

[420a-t]

So, my valve seals went this past season, and I decided to replace them, along with a couple other go-fast parts. This is all going on a 1g head and matched with a holset hx-35 turbo in a BEP housing.
Let me know what you think! I'm hoping to get deep in the 11's this year, and on a stock bottom end. Hopefully everything holds together...

BC springs
Mitsu timing belt
3g revised lifters
My old (but new) turbo timer w/ harness
candy black valve cover
OEM headgasket
custom 10mm wires
misc gaskets
comp 101100/101200 cams
I also have an auto tranny fully built with IPT parts and 3800rpm stall

On the way parts:
Apexi huge intercooler w/ piping and new couplers
Forced Performance 3" intake pipe
ARP studs
new valve guides
and some porting work on the head
1g water pipes and thermostat housing
electric cutout is going to be custom on the dp and through the bumper
oil press, tranny temp gauges

How much did that intake manifold set you back, look nice.

 

[420a-t]

Thanks guys. Yeah, the 2nd pic is relocation bracket, I forgot that picture. I actually got that manifold used for 300 from a friend of mine. By looking at it though, you couldn't tell it was used though. I only see a couple scratches on it, and has been powdercoated silver.

Do you guys think I should replace my tensioner for the timing belt? I did the water pump, al belts and pulleys last summer. Hopefully everything goes alright.

 

[Supa Dexta]

I don't think it's powder coated. It looks to be polished aluminum. Great deal though.

 

[420a-t]

He powdercoated it when he first got it. It was a great deal! Im excited to see how verything goes together.

 

[kittay]

Looks awesome!! Are you still going to run the meth with it?

 

[talonalex92]

In the gasket pic, is the middle one the exh or some sort of intake gasket. Like the kind that claim to reduce intake temps?

 

[Bluefire16]

Looks like a good time, i would love to be able to build my car over the winter...to bad i dont have the money haha

 

[meliketoball]

I wonder what you do for a living because I see baller status.

 

[420a-t]

The gasket is a 4-layer metal exhaust gasket from Slowboy. If anything, it looks freaking sweet. they grey one with red around it is the intake gasket. And yes, I'm still going to be running meth with it.

I just got my pump back from devilsown and everything looks good. I just got some bigger intercooler pipes, a genuine greddy blow-off, and a HUGE apexi intercooler. Hopefully everything comes together good. I'm working on porting my head today, I'll take some pics of the progress here soon.

 

[WFO731]

Your setup looks good man!

 

[420agstuner]

man i hope you got a garage to work in. i just got around to putting my exhaust on and i have no garage. it was fricken cold.

 

[420a-t]

Well, I got almost everything in! My tranny is gonna be put in in about a month or so. I just ordered some gauges, 2.5" cutout and a non-cruise control throttle cable. Cruise control sucks, it takes up so much space. I'll get pics of the intercooler soon too.

Instead of going with a holset hx-35 I found a killer deal on this h1e. 300 shipped brand new! I got a BEP housing for it so it will bolt right up too.

 

[92AWDHX40]

Hey thats a nice project, coming along great.

 

[greengoblin]

Looks great Josh! You sould of sent that turbo housing to me. I could of shot it for you too.

I lot less work than polishing it.

[420a-t]

I've been working hard on trying to get everything together. Here's what I have so far.

new 6-bolt head on with oem headgasket and oem timing belt. A JMF SMIM and 1g TB. Nice VC by greengoblin
Greddy type R BOV with custom piping. Also, my meth switch all wired up
CAS cover shot the same as VC
Apex'i front mount skyline core
tranny cooler with SPAL fan
2.5" cutout
oil pressure gauge
stock holset housing vs. BEP .55 housingtrans temp gauge
TC 3800rpm stall

 

[420a-t]

I still need a battery, and decide what I want to do with my exhaust. I also need to finish the timing belt, re-wire the coil pack, turbo install, other tranny installed and I'm sure I'm missing some other things. I'll keep you guys updated!

 

[greengoblin]

Looking good! Simple green is you friend for the underside.

REPLACE your tensioner. It's not much money and you won't have to think in the back of your head "should I have replaced the tensioner?".

[danyz250f]

Eckmans has one maybe if they havent got it sent back yet. It was like 65 bucks. Not OE but its new. The parts guy only comes to visit once a month to get all the stuff so they dont have to ship it back.

Josh your ballin I hope it goes fast you will probably be faster than me!

 

[420a-t]

Ok I'm picking up a new tensioner thursday, then hopefully I get to start fabing up a 2.5" downpipe with a cutout through the bumper here soon. It will be a tight fit. I also got my gauge bezel for around the steering column today. Should be a busy next couple weeks.
