great list of parts and looks like its not going to be rushed which usually always turns out for the best. good luck with the build & i look forward to the dyno numbers

 

Ok got the head issue all figured out yesterday. I bought a core and shipping it to Headgames to have them perform they're head service. Should be a awesome setup After talking to Dave at Headgames i was completely sold on they're work. Turn around should be two weeks so I will take some pics of the head then!

 

Thanks man. I should have some more updates in the coming days. Im redoing wiring for my gauges this week as the previous owner had quite the cluster F*** of wires everywhere. I removed all old wiring and starting fresh.

Also going to install throw out bearing today.

 

This looks a lot like my build! Lol. Except I decided to go with a 35r instead of something a little bigger. I dont want to put too much stress on my clutch and tranny yet. Once I have the money saved to get a better clutch and a shep built tranny then Ill probably upgrade to something like a 6765 and just go nuts with it lol. Take ur time with it though. There's no worse feeling than dumping all your hard earned money into a car just for it to break again. : / best of luck to you and I cant wait to see it finished!

 

Yah a $2000 Journal bearing turbo thatll make 600hp by 4500rpms and like 400 by 7000rpms... Any fp black will get raped by a 6262 setup just because of how those stock framed turbos fall off on the topend. That and the 35R, 6262, 3586 are all superior in reliability. Plus nothing sounds better than a 44mm externally dumped wastegate! : )

 

Glad to be apart of the build!

 

Thanks man, I look fwd to seeing what the head can do for the setup!

 

Well haven't been to productive late, just kinda playing the waiting game. I pulled out all the old gauge wiring and old wideband and started putting new gauges and working on getting a new wideband. installed the hydraulic throw out bearing. Next two weeks should yield some better updates..

 

Ok just wanted to give a update for anyone paying attention...

Head should be here this week. Once i have that motor will be finished and then things will be going back in the car and back on track as planned.

On a side note..

Came to the realization that i should have ran a surge tank with a external pump for my goals the other day. Dont know why i didnt think about it before....kind of frustrating. I just dont think the 2 in tank walbros will work well enough at the track to supply the fuel i need for over 750hp. Sadly this little project will have to wait until next winter. I dont want to delay things any longer. I will see what i can get out of the walbros for this summer...

stay posted for more updates soon..

 

Head is back...





Can you tell what is "missing" in this last pic...its a good missing

 

^^EGR welded up and smoothed down, nice idea.

 

Nice progress

 

that does look cool! Still haven't down loaded your pics,lol

 

Hahaha i would hope you think it looks cool. Head came out awesome, worth every bit and then some. Thanks alot man. Hopefully see some dyno numbers in a few weeks.

 

I have just about the same exact build except the built head. I should be getting tuned here in a week or 2.

Heres my build up if your intrested:
