So, this will be the rebuild thread. I bought a "complete" car (LINK TO THREAD) which ended up requiring a complete restoration. The only thing i kept from the car I bought was the chassis, transmission, exhaust mani, and TC. EVERYTHING else is now replaced.

Joel's mod list:

• Buschur FS635 cast kit
• ID2000 injectors
• Full Blown double pumper -10 feed -8 return
• Aeromotive FPR and fuel rail
• Buschur Race FMIC
• Buschur UICP/LICP
• Tial BOV
• Buschur mini-battery kit
• Exedy Triple cerametallic clutch
• Wilson W2.4 custom intake manifold for the 2.3L
• 65mm ported TB
• Buschur twin-muffler v-band exhaust
• Buschur 2.3L
• Shwitzer stage 5 head with FP 4/5 staggered cams
• ARP L19 head studs
• CBRD Radiator

I know I am probably missing some things but i'll add as I remember.

Some parts pictures:






Wilson intake manifold (awesome piece! thanks 9sec9/Indy)








The ID2000 (thanks Tony @ T1!) / Full Blown / Aeromotive Fuel setup:






The turbo setup (buschur cast FS635 kit + shearer mani)





Buschur V-Band dual muffler exhaust (thanks Nick!)

 

Good luck with the built. Keep us posted with some pictures, I hope everything works out for you. Subscribed

Cheers

 

Assembled the motor tonight with help from Phenem... its coming back together, I am really anxious to get it running again.

 

ooooohhhh ****....

Get the manifold polished or somethin dude... **** looks in worse condition that the car when u bought it...lol
injectors are tasty!


y would u let phenem touch the car?!?! that guys just a problem!

 

intake mani is one of my favorite pieces. It is a work of art IMO.

 

Does look very nice.. similar to stock but with great flow characteristics im sure.. what made you go with this vs ams f1 or any other?

 

a side by side comparison pic may be coming. it is actually quite different, especially in the plenum area.

I chose it because it has all the stock provisions AND has great power potential.

 

Nice parts. INterested to know if that mani is the one that Wilson cut in half to port and weld back together? COuld you pm me what you paid to get it done. Thanks.

 

Yep. its cut open, and a bunch of work done, the plenum is enlarged, the port work is amazing. I hope Indy doesn't mind me telling what they all do, but you can tell the put a ton of work into them. Contact 9sec9 here on the forums for pricing

 

Motor is close to drop-in point.





Full blown double pumper install with -10 feed and -8 return. Turned out REALLY nice. i love doing fuel systems.

routed into the engine bay

Looking good man!

Good luck with the build! Is that a used timing belt :/ tisk tisk

Keep it coming, good work
