it took some getting used to, but i think i like it! it chatters a bit if the revs are below 1000rpm but i just bring it up to 15-1700 and let it out nice and slow, doesn't chatter at all that way. its tricky going from 1-2 without either banging second or gotta ease it out, not really a in between which bugs me a little cause sometimes i look like a newb with his first stick shift

god i wish first and second gear were a little closer ratio, first needs to be taller its completely useless @ my power level

 

Snow?

 

yea snow can suck on my ball sack. its 6* here today, -20 when you factor in the wind chill. i work outside and they sent us home today cuz of the cold.

 

I'm out to sea and it's like 80* out here. Not to rub it in.

 

haha! yea but there are lots of chicks runnin round here that need warmed up! "have fun at sea..." (limps wrist with a gay voice)

 

It's okay. Trust me, I look forward to getting back. when the women realize that we have two weeks of pent up aggression, they look for us to break their backs. They just leave the regulars alone.

Women just love a horny sailor fresh from being out to sea.

 

i dont doubt that! well give her a few pumps for me haha!

 

what color paint is your blower?

 

its like a gunmetal. its wheel coating from advance auto i think. supposed to be pretty strong stuff. well see how it holds up to the heat and whatnot

 

yeah i'm painting mine the same color. other than that nice build looking forward to see results. you keeping it the stock blower or going turbo? I didn't read the first post fully

 

im gonna keep the m62 for now. ill prob switch to a TVS though over the winter

 

ok cool nice choice. I wish our cars would see good gains with the tvs without building it. lol

another question where did you get the two orange coolant tanks from?

 

i bought them from vulcan turbo. and they custom powdercoated them for me. i dont recomend vulcan though. thats a whole nother story in itself

 

Yeah i didnt like much of there stuff, but i saw those and I like them so I was wondering. Are they good quality or should i just keep the stock. lol

 

thses tanks are actually good quality. the driverside tank has fitment issues that i have brought up to them in the past and they dont seem to care i made it work tho.

 

Interesting build. The results should be impressive.

 

im expecting 300+ to the wheels. ive seen bigger numbers with less so we will see what hapens. that is if i ever get off my ass and put it back together.

 

in due time steve in due time buddy, and those text you been sending are uber funny lol

 

finally got off my ass and torqued down the head and put the laminovas back in the intake mani. should have it runnin again 2mro and on the road this weekend.

 

nice

 

Nice

 

Any updates? More pics? Vids?

 

UPDATE: Fired it up last night again. I ran it for about a half hour. brought it up to operating temp and made sure the fans kicked on. didnt take it out cuz 1, i cant find anyone to flash my tune and 2, theres 2 inches of snow on the ground. It ran smooth as hell, didnt burn any coolant. not burning any oil. Its runnin rich but smooth. Fired it up open downpipe cuz the ZZP combo dosnt bolt up to my existing exhaust so that will come off today. It was LOUD as ****. Sounds more like a V8 then it did last time around. hopefully the roads will dry up and i can get ahold of my buddy or someone w/ HPT to come flash me. Wicked sent me a base tune for break in through email but for some reason my buddy couldnt upload it last time we tried. if i fire it up again ill try to take a quick vid w my phone or somethin. my digi cam got stolen at a party. Its finally running and im PUMPED. i might have a pin hole leak in my radiator cuz it was steamin and we couldnt figure out where it was comin from. but other than that everything was good.

 

well fired it up again, tried to take a vid and its so loud that it distorts the sound. hopefully i can find someone to take a vid of this beast. i cracked the rpms up to about 4500 and its so loud it hurts your teeth. the window in my garage was shaking and drywall dust was falling thru the seams in the drywall on my celing. its nasty loud

 

Horrible way to break in a motor.
