Hey whats up guys just a quick update of the car since its been a while.The motor is just about ready to fire up so ill post a video here shortly, i just need to find my oil dipstick and tube somewhere in this garage, fab up my downpipe or should i say up pipe and hide that hideous throttle cable somehow.

Great car man, hope ya help me out with some pointers for my car which is a 420a engine and just had it rebuilt and are still having problems with. Hope you can give me some tips on how to check for power loss in my engine besides the battery and alternatorr being good still

Thats PURDY! Nice project man!

Looks damn good, however I am wondering why bother with the top timing cover if you dont run a lower timing cover?

 

[Spdfreak]

The top cover is there because I'm going to run my exhaust pipe up through the hood right in that area so its just there to help protect the timing belt from some heat . Thanks for the comments guys appreciate it.

Thats a really sick build havent seen you in a while on here, busy huh, nice progress. Seeing that turbo, def want to upgrade.

Your about to make me swap to a red V/C instead of the blue one I have! Gotta ask. Why no timing covers?

 

[Spdfreak]

The lower cover is actually there just can't tell from the picture, I usually only run the lower just for the timing marks cause the car is not driven on the streets so I'm not really worried about anything getting in there .

You can just tuck/stuff the throttle cable down behind the intake manifold. So it will come out of the firewall, go down towards the subframe, then come back up and bolt to the intake manifold. It'll make a giant U shape pretty much. Definitely makes things much cleaner!

 

[Spdfreak]

Aye thanks snowborder for the good ideal that's exactly what ill do.

[artsvetkov]

What shot of nitrous are you using to spool up that monster turbo? Very nice build!
