So just wanted to start a thread about my progress with the Balt. A little back story so about 6 months ago i messed up my motor. I was saving up to do a LSJ-T build but those plans have been put on the back burner for now. so the plan now is

The car has been in the shop for about 1.5 month. The shop that its at is a friends of mine. he found me a used lsj motor that had about 75k and I'm getting a year warranty for the place they bought it from. They motor has been received and is at the shop waiting to get installed. All i'm waiting for is OTTP to send me my parts.


the part that were ordered are
Spec stage 2+ clutch,
upgraded TOB,
Ottp timing kit,
Ottp stage 3 kit with 80# injectors, 2.8 pulley
dual pass endplate,
new clutch lines
ebc drilled and slotted rotors front and rear
ottp sts with delrin engraved knob.

Part that i already had that will also be installed
new master cylinder
aem fuel pump
ottp fuel pump rewiring kit
ottp cable clamp
ottp break lines
dual interceptor gauges
Carbon fiber trunk thanks to Riceburner
front and rear tow hooks
ingall TD
CAB bushings.

I will be running the ottp tune for a bit. My friend sommer has someone that tunes here in town after he gets his LNF tuned i will get a tune from him. Also thinking about going E85 tune.

Some of the parts already on the car are
option b
ottp H\E
zzp shorty header, and custom manga-flow exhausted
Hurst sts and base bushings
fidanza flywheel
Clutch masters stage 2 clutch
pedder coil overs
varrstoen es2 18 rims
depo gen 3 headlights
aem uego wide-band
stage 2 rotated trans mounts,.


I think that is it for parts. I am looking forward to getting the car back on the road. I know its going to feel a lot different. She been missed since the day i messed her up. So I'm really looking forward to driving the balt again. So i will keep you updated on the progress. I will be leaving on Monday for 10 day for work. So i hope the shop receives the parts soon so when i get back the balt would be ready to go.

 

What kind of power do you think it'll make? Im so jealous of everyone running E85. It just isn't available in my area at all.

 

Idk what kind of power i will be making probably somewhere around 260 lol. I really don't know

 

Anyone with similar mods? If so how much are you making?

 

That's pretty standard for 260-280 whp with a good tuner, car will be fun and be a handful!

 

lol another fake build

 

Idk what makes it a fake build. Just cause I can't put forged this and that in it right now. Sorry i cant afford that right now. I'm just happy to get the balt back on the road. Thanks

 

Lmao that guy is always pissed about something

 

Thats just normal mr. b

 

He's just making sure you know that youre a "Bolt on boy" like he was nice enough to do in my build -er- bolt on thread

 

Mr. B doesn't get laid much.... He's cranky

#pleaseusesearch

 

It's all good I will change the name to fake build then lol sorry Mr B.

 

lol I enjoy even basic "build" threads, but I have to laugh when John comes through swinging

 

your not building anything

im very rarely pissed

if the shoe fits

all the time keeping 3 on a chain is tricky

you don't need to change anything

what you younglings don't get is when you bolt on parts your not building your engine and that is what build threads are for building your engine not having bolt party these threads are about as equal to someone making a build thread for tinting the windows on their car

 

Yes sir whatever you say. Im just want to get my car back on the road. It's getting a new bolt on engine and clutch. I'm good with that.

 

He's going to be 'building' more boost, does that count?

 

Just an update on the balt. New motor went in also with some of the new parts. Clutch, flywheel, fuel pump, 80# injectors, master cylinder, and new coupler and supercharger oil.

Still need to install
2.8 mps waiting on pulley puller
Rotors
Brake pads
Ottp sts
Dual pass
Cf trunk
Painting calipers blue
Rewire all stereo system
Tune
The buff and wax

Can wait to drive the balt again. It's been a bit of a wait looking forward to having her back.

 

^^ This entire statement makes no sense. If this were what a "build thread" is for... then we ought to be forging our own parts from scratch and writing our own software to program our modules with and naming the vehicle after ourselves. That is truly BUILDING. We are all bolting on parts. We didn't create these cars. We Modify whats already there to make it better.

Adding parts to your car that are not factory is in essence "building" It. Our goal is to make our cars unique to the owner that is modifying it.... whether performance... appearance.... ect.

Installing cams... or putting in pistons is all the same as any other bolt on.. It just requires more time and money. You are still simply replacing a part that was on the car all along with a newer updated performance part. You aren't BUILDING anything.

I get annoyed just as much as the next guy about certain things on these forums... but the OP is literally installing a new engine.... with multiple aftermarket parts.... and new parts.... and is being called a "Fake build". Pssh.

Good luck with your car MurderedSS.

 

Thanks Cman yea just waiting for zzp pulley puller then should be ready. To start up.

 

another butt hurt bolt on boy

 

lol I'm not butt hurt at all everyone is entitled to there own opinion. Should have the car back next week I'm so excited. Its going to be a whole new car cant wait. Debating if i should go e85 or stay on 91? I have a new fuel pump and 80's so its possible.

 

another internet tough guy

 

Another kid with a slow car
