LDK build thread, version 2.0
Starting a new thread for my LDK build. Details are in my signature. Build will be done shortly and going into the car very soon. Here's some teasers.
Clearance too tight, honed to .0037-.004
Clearance too tight, honed to .0037-.004
I made this 5th injector kit.

Thanks to Tom for the idea on the oil return line. It will also have heat shield wrap on all lines nere the hot side of the turbo.
The inside of the 5th injector is just flat and flush with the inside of the intake, any weld bleed through was just ground down and smoothed out with a deburring tool, nothing really to see. I liked this design of the injector holder because of the way its being held with the side tubes limiting the screw tightness so you can't over do it. It was overall pretty cheap as you can get the siemens 60# injector for cheap online, and can always go bigger. As for the injector controller, I had something laying around collecting dust that drives the injector just fine.
As of now, the engine is done, finished all the fittings and AN lines today, and will be in the car next weekend.
All dressed up and nowhere to go...... until next week lol

Damn that return line is way straighter than mine, I'm gonna have to redo mine now lol. I also die grinded the return fitting that connects to turbo bigger and made it sloppeed into the fitting for better oil flow, and made the fitting going into block a little more open as well.

I ordered my oil line from agp a little longer than I needed (18") to make sure I had clearance and I have reflective insulated heat wrap tubing good to 2600deg, it's all good
ive been throwing around the idea of doing my own T51R mod to the s257 for fun, most likely will do in the next few weeks as I need a spare compressor cover. If you don't know what a t51r mod is, all sound baby ;D

After two forklifts and lots of swear words and cuts later it's finally out and now I'm working on the lpfp and feed line side of things today along with dressing the new engine up, mounting the ky stage 4+, and getting it ready to go back in.

Those valves are the result of 147,000 miles and not cleaned once, stock pcv system. Gotta love DI.
The aem e85 fuel pump is a pain in the rear, lots of modification of the fuel pump canister is required as the pump is slightly longer than the stock one and the pump plug needs the pins reversed, but got it done. LDK is all dressed and ready to be bolted to the trans.
It's all the little stuff like cleaning the engine bay re looming wiring that's taking it much longer than anticipated, I'm getting burned out but trying to push forward. Still have to fab up the down pipe and turbo intake once it's all in too.
