ok guys well I took delivery of the car yesterday and here are some of the mods that the car comes with it has a full HKS Hi power exhaust,reflashed Ecu the motor that I am getting has hks 272/264 cams.my goal is to acheive around 450-500hp just wondering what other mods it will take to acheive this?

 

HKS turbo kit and u are on the way to 500hp with a gd tune and several other support mod

 

You are going to need a new flash since it is not the same motor nor even the same mods.

 

Yes that is VERY important. haha unless you want to go searching for yet another motor.

What a steal though! Good luck with your build

 

Yeah, i'll say, I thought I got a flippin deal that thing is the cost of what I bought just in parts!

 

Nice

 

For the first time i decided to install the cam locks which is what holds the cams in place inside the head.They are labeled E1-E5 which I know is exhaust and the I also have another 6 which are labeled I1-I5 which is Intake.



My problem is when I started to install them starting from the side with the cam gears which is where number 1 would go on each side and kept working my down the line in that order.When they were all installed the cams would not rotate.Also keep in mind I don't have the valves and everything else installed yet only the cams so they should spin freely or atleast spin with little effort.



Here is what I think and was told by a few mechanics.
They said it is little chance that i would work because the cam locks were not the original ones that came with that exact head.And that if they were to work i would be cer lucky.So the only solution is to get them line bored for my specific head.



Question.
Is the above theory true or false?



Here is what I did.
I went through everyone of them one by one on each installation point (which took me a few hours) and on the intake side most of the the ones marked "E" were usable only one on the intake side I could not find any of the cam locks to fit.On the exhaust cam I could not get any of the locks to work.



I hope I made this clear so that you guys could understand if someone could shed some light on this i'll really apprecaite it.

 

Ok guys got the motor and tranny inside and started the car today and boy does she sound mean without the exhaust lol.Will have some pics up later tonight or tommorrow and be updatuing this thread more often.

One problem When the car is off it goes into gear.

When the car is on it does not want to go into gear. Does anyone know why?

 

bleed the slave cylinder?

 

yeah I did but I am going to do it again since I feel the clutch does not have full pressure.

I also noticed that the wire for the clutch sensor is disconnected so I can now start the car without pressing the clutch would that have anything to doe with it?
