freaking beautiful.

 

I got my parts, spent all long weekend getting everything back together. few more hours to go to get it running. trans is in....took me and bro in law 3 hours to get it on. we had difficulties lol. its all full of oil and ready to rock.

I got 6 gears

 

Awsome! Can't wait to hear how well you like it.

 

 

Got new recirc downpipe on. Not the funnest thing to do. Had to take out the rear trans mount through bolt and heat sheild to get it in. Put bolt back but left heat sheild off. No need for it really. Should get it started by the weekend.

 

So I'm just gonna do a quick list of all the new stuff I put in the car this winter while waiting for trans.

2 new brake lines cause I damaged the 2 front ones are going in tomorrow.
all 4 wheel bearings - timkin
new recirc downpipe I had to modify it.
new style zzp turbo manifold. very nice manifold and is 1.5 pounds lighter than old style.
I swapped out my pile of trash devils own braided stainless meth line for a prometh braided stainless meth line that does not have the steel ends to rust on me.
new ottp throttle body spacer. went fill an4 all the way. installed a solenoid just before the nozzle so no syphoning. there is also a check valve for extra protection.
I ported my intake manifold to match gasket.
all new boost, batt, egt, and water temp autometer pro spek gauges. these things are very cool. love them. nice and simple and clear to read. with peak, low and high warning, and 7 colors. gauges go red when you hit high warning. pretty sweet.
new battery cause mine died.
new f35 6 speed built quaife trans from Jason. which works in first gear and reverse for sure, only 2 I tried while cars in the air lol.
exedy hyper single clutch with lighter Chromalloy flywheel. thing revs pretty quick compared to stock.


idk if I'm forgetting anything, ill probably do a walk around and post vid when I'm done.

of yes and I also threw on a wingless truck lid. looks sexy.

I'm still waiting for those redesigned zzp coil packs and also have all the parts for retrofit project which I will be starting once the car is done here in a few weeks.

 

Damn man lots of work for sure can't wait to see it running in those vids

 

Well she is running. Had it running for 15 minutes yesterday to let the trans get itself all lubed up in first gear. Idk why so many guys always have issues after they do work getting their cars running, mine purs like a wild beast lol. Just gotta check for leaks, throw on the replacment brake lines, rear wheel bearings and wire up my meth solinoid and she good.

I also dont get how people have so much trouble bleeding the clutch. I didnt even bleed mine and it feels great. Filled tob before install and sealed off pipe faceing up but still could push fluid out when trans was unstalled. Then i let my line gravity bleed till fluid came out and quickly hooked it up. Had 0 issues. May still bleed a peddlw push or 2 but as is it feels perfect.2

 

Oh yes i also upgraded to a 10gph meth nozzle. Spraying 1000cc

 

So you're spraying the meth into the spacer instead of the chargepipe?

 

Looking good!

 

Thing ought to scream, and hold together.

 

yes i cant spray into charge pipe due to maf relocate

 

 

True you had to run a bov for your set up

 

i think a little down the road ill get moyer to make me a cp that will be able to be sprayed into. Just move maf close to ic

 

I need to get mine installed well Idk if I'm even going to run it anymore

 

what your bov?

 

The meth kit

 

Some racecar sounds with the new trans

 

first video I accidently went from 5th to 4th lol still getting used to 6th gear

 

Sounds good. Has a bit of wine to it?

 

you didnt hear it? Listen carefully lol

 

Def sounds good I got some goodies I'm going to install on mine
