Hello all,
Sorry I've been away from this thread for so long, but life gets busy sometimes.
Update: Still haven't got a motor together. It's been a nightmare trying to get this bi*** back on the road for some reason. Several motor issues in a row. 2 ish years its been off the fcuking road.
Built one up from the 2 busted ones and it blew the head gasket immediately. Guess I shouldn't have cheaped out on getting it decked. Especially after all the work I put into it so far.
Anyways, I'm up in work at a camp now so I have a lot of time to put into adding the 400+ more photos of all the sensors, Brembos, brake boosters, master cylinder, brake lines, uprights, suspension, intake, intercooler, exhaust, injectors, computer, fuel pump, AFPR, FIC Easy Driver, and any other parts I have installed on this car.
Its juuuuust about there. Need a new motor, install ALL 3 diffs, install the HE351VE Turbo, my VGT controller (that I bench tested in the car while driving around this last summer SUCCESFULLY) and its fully fully done. Minus a final coat of paint and some bumper swaps.
The last phase will be cooling. This thing overheated so fcuking bad at the track that I have been struggling to keep temps down. 10 laps in and its heat soaked from the big16G....gotta figure out a way to dump that heat better. Trans cooler, and some creative sheet metal work to add some ducting for the brakes, and the Taurus fan swap (puts out HUGE CFM numbers....draws 50-60AMPS on high mode i guess)
Stayed tuned. I'll have new pics up in the next 3 weeks for sure.
Cheers,
Mr. Lucas
