If he does, tell him to go pound sand, lol.

 

Thanks buddy!

 

Got some parts in yesterday. This ati is therealfuckingdeal.com



Also prepped my other rims, strut tower brace and valve cover for getting powdercoated.



These are gonna be JDM #As #****

 

Nice color choice

 

Its actually gonna be more like that new light blue mustang color - like 1lsj2nv actually

And thanks, really hope it works great!

 

You can order them directly from MrB or from CED. Same thing.

 

Hey rice, out of curiousity, why are you going to still run meth? If you are using E85 and the cooling mods you have listed... I cant see it being beneficial enough to bother running. The rest of the build looks great! Cant wait to hear your numbers.

 

Heres my worthless philosphy

During the summer with the same setup minus the stealth h/e the temp difference was great.

Running a cooler burning gas will not affect how the blowers spinning rotors from generating heat and warping, as well as creating hotter intake temps

 

So guys i really need your opinions here.

Was at Joses exhaust shop yesterday talking to Hector, and he was telling me to get an EKG gauge. I said what for? He says to monitor my EKG valves.

So i go home and look up on ebay an EKG gauge. It looks so simple to install and use. You simply hook one wire up to the battery, and another to ANY point on the chassis. It can pick up the signal anywhere from the vehicle. As long as it is connected, a green light will stay on telling you that the EKG valve is fine.

Id rather be safe than sorry so i bought one.

 

Yo is that the gauge with the beeps and the lines? Like when the battery dies it goes all flat and ish? And you gotta jump it and it brings it back to life?

 

ElectroKardioGraph?

 

Smh

 

Pretty sure you mean EGT and get an AEM, you'll learn where normal operating temp it and where your normal 1/4mile will put your EGTs then you know when it starts going higher to back off before your engine dies (also probably could figure out if you're actually spraying meth or if it's having an issue)

 

Mayb's

i'm just trollin. lol

 

Lookin good! And had to let out the inner troll didn't you lol

 

the troll is not strong with this one

 

i admit too easily haha

 

so i've been thinking. before i put the car away, whenever id go WOT i'd hear some bad noises in front of me. i thought it was something with the trans/axles... not sure...

but maybe it was engine knock??

it did sound quite a bit like in this video below.. :/

if so... i'm hoping it just something in my tune since it wasn't doing this before my meth quit working. the reason id go wot knowing this was because James Rakes told me it was not tuned for meth... fml


kinda like this maybe... i gotta get a video i think

 

looking for a few things:

adjustable cam gears?

and balance shaft delete bushings.

should i go this route:

Level Zero Motorsports


also... some new powdercoated goodness...

 

other questions...

what other tools to i really need? like do i really need the valve spring compressor? engine will be out of the car.

and can anyone link me to where to get the camshaft alignment tool or do i not need that since new cams are goin in?

just looking to save my time and money

 

Rice is LSJion porting you a head for this or are you just going to put the cams in? I had josh install my valve springs when he did the head saved me some time.

 

Valve spring compressor
Piston ring compressor
Cylinder hone deglazer

Those are the only special tools I needed

 

I DOUBT you have rod knock.....ecotecs rarely have rod knock unless you are running the corn and not doing the proper care or someone has your car tuned really really rich or has too much fuel at idle.

anyways when rod knock strikes you usually have rod knock even when the cars running not just at wot. easy way to check is to pull the pan off and wiggle the rods around. if they wiggle a lot its going to spin sooner or later and at that rate you might as well build the bottom end.

 

lsjion is porting my head i oughta bring this up to him thanks for the tip!

 

you want to preferably have a machine shop do it at a 320grit blade hone if not use a 240 grit ball hone go clockwise then counter clockwise there Is no camshaft alignment tool

get the guides checked
