[AuntiesTSI]

[Aphix]

Hey I saw ## name and was like I wonder if thats the same guy from SCR haha. Good to see I'm not the only person from nebraska on here. Thats a nice pile of parts

 

[kelvinb]

i wont be doing anything to the car other than buying parts right now, im stuck in nw colorado for work right now.

the qm twin disc just came in friday, so now i can start looking for an intake manifold and what i will be using for my fuel system.

 

[RT-AWD]

goodness what in the world? Thats a lot of work you got ahead of you. Enjoy it!!

 

[kelvinb]

so a few days ago i ordered my race jm fab intake manifold setup for a q45 throttlebody with nitrous bungs, and an ati harmonic balancer. next will be the fuel pump/injectors and probly some fuel lines

 

[kelvinb]

small update

yesterday i spent some money with MAPerformance. i bought my clutch from them and was extremely satisfied. i ordered an a1000 fuel pump, 1450cc injectors along with a fuel rail, ferrera valve seals and guides. i found out also that ill be moving back to nebraska pretty soon so i can start to put the car together.

[kelvinb]

im scared to speak of hp numbers i honestly dont know. i was hoping for around 700 with the nitrous. i recieved my fuel pump valve seals today more stuff comiin.

 

[kelvinb]

AEM Coolant Temperature Sensor
AEM Air Inlet Temperature Sensor
AEM 5 Bar Map Sensor

spoke with jake aka topstreet the other day about my build and bought his crank he had for sale on here. he also talked me into buying some groden rods, so thats the reason im selling my crower rods. engine should be complete after those parts are received.

 

[kelvinb]

crank is here, waiting for rods.

 

[kelvinb]

groden rods and crank have been dropped off. should be back pretty soon so i can put in the head studs and assmble it all.

 

[kelvinb]

bought a civic radiator and a bigger oil cooler. moving into a new place soon so ill have time to start putting it together. engine is getting assembled now.

 

[kelvinb]

bottom end is finished, working on head now. will be back in my hands soon and be ready for installation

 

[kelvinb]

tomorrow ill be getting some pics up of the engine. i have to go pick it up at the machine shop and start putting the whole thing together including the car. now that everything is starting to come together, i should be able to keep everyone updated on things sooner, instead of once a month.
