looking good man you should look at exsoccer ewp setup its mega clean

 

im surprised I just came across this... good work man... I had euthanasia gasket match my IM

 

I did mine lol.

 

That's the best way to do it. But he got rid of the heater and all. I still have the heater.

 

Yeah i'm not running a single part for hvac. it has it's pros and cons but overall i'd say it's worth it.

hurry up and get this thing together!!

 

I don't have axles yet. And not sure when they'll be done.

 

did u gasket match the IM

 

Yep, just took my time lol. Not perfect but the ports are all the same size.

 

nice man... euthanasia cuts the IM open p/p then welds it back together

 

That's a good way to do it lol.

 

And it's probably faster!

 

Haha

 

Can't wait for the dyno #...

 

alright, had to re do the water pump, the way I had it was causing the pump to push coolant back up in the coolant tank. So here is the way it is now. I have a little left to do but looking to get it on the road tomorrow. Have to make sure there wont be any leaks and what not. And am going to make a new bracket to hold the water pump so it looks a little better, on to the pics.

 

I forgot what our pm's consisted of honestly lol. Looks like you just split the coolant pipe. Was that your A plan or B plan?

 

That's plan x prolly lol. But I talked with t jolley about his he did. And I was missing the concept of the ecotecs coolant system. The coolant constantly cycles throughout the motor and then once the coolant hits 180 the stat opens and pulls coolant through the motor. Where I had the pump at it was just pushing and not circulating anywhere but the coolant tank. even with the controller and the thermostat out, since I had the pump in the wrong spot it still wouldn't work. So now I don't even need the controller again and put the stat back in. Tomorrow will be the day.

 

Essentially the davies craig pump is acting exactly like the stock pump now.

 

good work man

 

Ah I got ya. With mine it just never let the engine get up to temperature. That's why we put the controller in there. It wouldn't heat up past about 153*.

 

That's why I just put the stock thermostat back in. And I can get my 270 bucks back from the controller.

Thanks man.

 

is this a good option for a car that is a DD... or for only race cars

 

I still plan to put 10,000 on it a year.

 

Can it be driven on? Yes. I did it and will continue you to. Chris will do it much more. But I would stick with the oem pump if it's just going to be a daily driver.

 

Freakin awesome build man!

 

Chis I have a few questions:

I just got an s259et Batmowheel myself like I had told you I was going to.

1) Did you go with an ATI balancer for your engine build?

2) What are your plans to rev this thing out to? 8k? I'd imagine with that 6262 the higher you rev the better. If you are reving it out high was there anything you did to this build to aid it in doing so? I'm going to have to rev mine as high as possible now too.

3) Who ported your head? Was it ZZP? What would your gains be from the ported head?
