Well the time has finally come for me to start keeping track of the build with my car. Got everything set in stone this week, so it seems everything is finally coming together!

Started off buying my car from a fellow evom member in VA. Drove it home, loved it for the 3-4 weeks that it ran. Then, one night, a lifter decided to stick, and the motor spun a bearing. Went with a 2.4 because of $$, and that motor didnt work out too well. Wont go into details with that, because i want this thread to stay open

Long story short, since last september my car has been down with problem after problem. Come March, and it seems like everything is going great, finally going to be able to drive my car. I was wrong.

The shop my car was at didn't tighten down the adj cam gears, and the belt came loose when i went to take it for a drive. Then, after 2.5 months, his insurance finally gets everything taken care of, and covers their mechanics work. And behold, my build so far:

English Racing 10:1 Long Rod 2.4- Wiseco 1400HD Pistons, Manley Rods

Buschur Stage 3 Head

ARP L19 Head Studs

Supertech 1mm oversized valves

Supertech Spring/Retainers

Kelford 280 cams

Kiggly HLA

SparkTech Non-cdi COP

Ported/Coated FP Black with 25psi Wastegate

Magnus V5

Boomba 75mm Throttle Body

Buschur Ported Exhaust Mani

ETS 4" FMIC with 3" Piping

Shep Stage 3 Transfercase

DS Stage 2 Axles

Shep Street/Strip Tranny

Exedy Triple Disk Clutch

AMS Shifter Bushings

AWD Motorsports 4pc Solid Mount Set

FIC 1450 injectors

Off the top of my head, this about sums it up. I dont have pics as of yet, as my car is sitting empty at Modified by KC in Kansas. This has been a great shop to deal with, and they have kept me informed every step of the way. Ryan has always answered my questions, and talked me through the build, trying to find weak points, etc.

So, within the next few months, everything should be coming together nicely, and ready to put down some nice numbers! Stay tuned!

 

Can't wait to see what it will do. Of course I need a block to do anything, so it might be a little longer than a month

Well check the for sale forums there is a guy selling 3 4g64s for 500 a pop and a 4g69 mivec dont know price on that he also has cranks for sell i assume oem 100mm dont know. Nick i cant say much or do anything in this thread without pics hommie. Need some eye candy

 

Correction: They were waiting on the oil pump, so its scheduled to be picked up tomorrow! And I've waited about 9 months already, so time isnt a huge deal... haha. I know its getting done right this time, so thats all that matters.

 

I wish i had some pics. But ive been having everything shipped to the shop to save me money on having to re send everything. And the shop is about 7.5 hours away... haha so ill see if some local guys or the shop can take some pics for me

 

I look forward to seeing the results with the 10:1 4G64 will be good and torquey even before it gets in boost!

No more E85? Cause 1450's seem a little small if ran on E85 with a 2.4 and black...

 

Everything sounds good man! Hope the build comes out what is expected from you!

 

Well the 1450's were bought when i was planning on running the green on e85. So they will have to do for now. Itll let the motor get some mileage on it before i can afford some bigger injectors. Then its on!

 

Ballin!

Running dual walbros?

 

well see if those kelfords give you phantom knock issue. will be interesting so i take it your going to want to run against mikey?

 

I dont think they will.
What do you mean about the 2nd part of that?

 

Best of luck to you this time around, can't wait to see the results

 

Yes, Aaron with his 2.4 LR and Hacked MIVEC craziness has convinced me to do a 2.4 build myself (of course with MIL.SPEC parts).

Good luck with things. The peeps up at English are good guys.

 

Nice choice of parts
