Not much has happened since my last post except my color is finally decided and I got some new parts.
Rain, a suspended license, and school has been keeping me from working on the project. But the motor is ready to be pulled, it is unbolted, then lines and wires are disconnected and marked, and it just needs to be craned out.
Before it starts getting cold I would like to repaint my engine bay and mounts, get my new harness in the car, weld a patch in my car where i cut out a rust spot and prime the car.
Right now I am in the process of buying the parts I need and saving up some cash before I start putting it together.
I have purchased some evo 8 rods and pistons with hardware for 150 bucks from my buddy in New York and he is sending them in the mail monday. I bought my 1g crushed bov, 450cc injectors (for temporary use just to hear the car run I also bought some 680cc injectors from another buddy but he ended up buying them back), I got my throttle body and turbo elbow, a s16g turbo, and a turbo header so far.
I plan on getting my crankshaft polished from a local machine shop, having my head rebuilt with a port and polish and then installing some cams. But I will end up taking my block and internals to my school to put in the parts steamer and to hone the block.
My goals are a little lower right now.
300 hp
or a 13 second quarter mile
I was thinking about having buschar racing dynoing and tuning my car for the first tune.
But plans always change so we will see I will get some pics up soon when I get my rods and pistons.
