That deck surface looks a little rough for a mls. You might consider getting it apart and getting the deck tuned up. Also might be wise to check the shortblock for damage too.

Yeah this deck has seen better days.
After putting a straight edge I’ll have to do it flat enough no significant damage to the area where the fire ring would go the block did get damaged but it’s outside of any coolant passages.

The head is welded up and ready for another season!

Sorry I wasn't clear enough. The surface job on the deck and your resurfaced head is not good enough for a MLS. The mls can't deform down to close off all the little lines left in the surface by the cutter.

After looking at the data we need more fuel line and even a boost a pump I’ll be getting to work and post the results

Finally getting help from my buddy to do a t case and weld up tabs for the Vamos engine diaper

 

[awdmonster1904]

Tabs welded up and thread in ribbets

 

[awdmonster1904]

A good tip to disconnect the ecu to avoid frying it when welding and degrease the car to avoid a fire.

Process report !

Since the engine diaper will be in the way of the O2 dump we had to make it dump to the side

Up next is the t case and we test it

Just missing a seal and it’s ready to go on

Well small update

Last Thursday took the car to the track to do some testing doing a new table doing boost by gear to hold the WG closed to ramp the boost harder.

The changes done to the car was upgraded the size of the fuel lines and BAP


Unfortunately the BAP failed pulled too much amps blew the fuse and the intercooler blow out again.

I’m sorry brotha but what are we lookin at!!??

For the longest time I’ve been racing the car with a massive leak. This is not including the crack on the intercooler. I had the check valve installed incorrectly whenever the car was making boost pressure. It would leak out to the vacuum pump.

After addressing the issue, I tested the car on the stall, and it made way more boost shorter time

I’ll be testing this very soon and I’ll be looking for a 1/4 mile to finally push for that 8 sec pass

** update **
Went to IFO in Las Vegas and suffered a headgasket failure. It’s looking like it’s leaning out for a quick sec as i build to the boost in 1st. Nothing too extreme.

Could be just a mechanical issue…

The log looks good no signs of issues
Just looked at the log

All data looks really good

- hit target AFR
- fuel pressure was stable the whole pass
- boost was peak at 44-43 while pass
- ignition was 11-13.5 peak while pass
- nitrous turned off on time

Head is at the machine shop got 8 exhaust valves coming …

Looks like a plug broke I’m sure the turbo is going to need to be sent off to FP

 

[awdmonster1904]

I was able to clean up
Some of the damage and dremel the piston smudge taking away the sharp edges
