ok so here is what remains

have to make 2 more AN lines for the PCV setup, weld a fitting to the coolant vent pipe to the reservoir, and charge battery, load the tune.

as soon as material comes in, im going to get it running this weekend or next.

 

Well she runs!

got it going this weekend, but ran into a few problems. Got a base tune loaded in order to fire it up and got the idle with the solid lifter cams sorted out. Thanks John W. for the tune file and settings

few issues were:

Need to finish rewiring the EWP on a separate relay. thanks to ARMP and others for the tips on the wiring.

Having an issue with the clutch not disengaging. I tried bleeding several times with no improvement. Per Infra, im going to use my pressure bleeder and bleed brakes, and clutch. Hoping this fixes it or I will have to yank the trans back out this weekend. I bought flywheel bolts incase it is hung on the disk like I suspected.

Also need to sort out a new oil pressure gauge, and diagnose and resolve a IAT2 circuit low voltage issue.

REAALLLLY hope the clutch issue is bleeding related so I can drive this car for the first time in over 2 years!

 

Congrats. Good luck with the clutch. Just put a buddies redline together and now it has to come back apart to change the tob.

 

Good luck, I hope you are right. Been a long time since you have taken it for a rip.

 

Hey jap I had that issue with arp flywheel bolts being to tall with my fidanza flywheel and gmpp clutch....

 

this was the case on my GMPP and stock flywheel, but totally different ARP head design, which I haven't heard this issue being a problem

 

any updates im curious

 

im almost done wiring the pump, due to work and stuff I haven't messed with the trans yet.

Ill give you an update after this weekend.

 

got my coolant vent pipe welded to an AN fitting to run an AN line to the bottle.

also completed the pump wiring but wont have a chance to test it until tonight/tomorrow.

 

yeee

 

Really looking forward to seeing this thing move

 

Please please please CFD the spray before you hit the button.

 

Cfd?

 

Computational fluid dynamics

 

update, shipped the clutch discs back to ZZP

 

Why?

 

long story short, the clutch hub and input shaft spines were a bit boogered. ZZP filed the disc back into shape but im working on reparing the input shaft splines as they were deformed slightly. taking forever....

after that im going to put it together and drive it.

 

Damn man...least they fixed the issue. Can't wait to see this thing finally move

 

this weekend I got the trans back in and subframe bolted up

need to put the front and rear trans mounts on and bleed clutch, install fuse box etc and fingers crossed, drive this muthafkr

 

have gears and it drives, but reqiring and possibly replacing the EWP needs to happen this weekend

gave it a bath finally...

How did those fittings work out?

 

very well!

 

Good to hear

 

So I figured out the electric water pump issue, turns out if you thread the AN fittings in all the way they will contact the impeller
