Orca - 11 sec street rippa

There are for drag racing I'm assuming ?

Not specifically but boomdeeze was able to put down a 1.5 60" on these.

I need tires to for my evo 8s.

I didn't want to shell out $400 but one of my tires is worn more than the others and probably not good for the drive train.

Nice. I've never had a set of dunlops.

She’s a beauty! Definently my next pump

It’s a little awkward to install since the rubber spacer on the bottom isn’t a perfect fit and they give you a useless plastic tube that won’t work on dsm. The zip tie and hose helps it stay in place.

 

[1cleangsx]

Zip Ties ftw , I’m curious if this pump is quiet like the 450 I currently have. Forgive me I haven’t read thru the whole build thread yet but what are your power goals?

 

[AWD-Tony]

I forgive you Jeremy . Noise level seems the same as 255. For power level, max out the 68hta on E for now. I was going to buy the 450 but I was talked into these. Haha

Nice install Tony! Did you have to cut off the bell on the fuel pickup tube or was it already done? That is EXACTLY how mine looks but I have hose clamps and a insulator for any noise, which is really nothing in my car either.
Good job for sure!!!
Hoping she is all you ever need (unless you go to some outrageous setup)

Yes I cut it off last time I was in there. Pretty sure I’ll be set as long as I have the car. I do plan on building the tired bottom end somewhere down the road. Then maybe shoot for 600

Used the topline crank seal that came in the complete gasket kit and it’s junk. Didn’t even last a year < 3,000 miles. Picked up an oem seal from stm. Never using anything but oem seals.

 

[92AWDHX40]

OEM seals for the win, and reliable

 

[Vegas Smith]

Yeah, not worth the couple bucks you save.

 

[AWD-Tony]

For sure.

 

[AWD-Tony]

Got the seal in.


New turbo to O2 gasket. Trimmed a little fat.


Balancer belt must have gotten damaged when crank pulley came apart.

Found my stash of slips from the drag strip from back in the day. I had 15 runs on the first day of keeping record at Raceway Park in NJ, back in 1998. Unheard of in the later years.

 

[AWD-Tony]

Out of gloves, Covid! Have to ration them but I’m ok with that. First responders need them way more than I do. Ugh hate working without gloves.

Had a small strip left. Might as well put her to use. BUT that block though Soon...soon.

I like your valvecover

Thanks Jeremy! VHT wrinkle ftw

 

[92AWDHX40]

Is that dei wrap on pipe.

Is that dei wrap on pipe.

Yes. Is that bad?

 

[92AWDHX40]

Yes. Is that bad?

No it should help with cooling.
