Thanks ill get more pics up after I put it all back together pulled the oil pan to reseal it and still gotta do the water pump I hate fresh builds.

 

well a update on the car i took it to get tuned on the stock ecu sd at house of power a month or so ago and i have been fighting small problems ever since grant fixed a few things for me and got the car running the best it ever has on the stock ecu i have always been on aem just for ease of use i plan on taking it back to him to finish up the tune at cbrd on pump gas then e85.

one of the issues grant was having while tunning the car was it would not get any richer then mid 11s at wot as he would throw more boost at it the car would just get leaner so i took my time checking over things the hole fuel system had about 8k on it at the time and only 93oct so i dident think it would be to dirty or anything clogged i finally realized that i think the pumps (full blown double pumper) needed the pressure relief mod done so i did that tonight and hopefully all will be well another thing grant had me do was switch from copper iridium plugs and that made a huge diffrence.

lastly i figured out my stock ignition was on its way out i borrowed a buddies and my car would make clean pulls at 28lbs on his and misfire on wastegate with mine so i found a post were evodan was selling parts i new he had a aftermarket ignition so i pretty much had to have it and he was willing to sell it i spent a few hours today making a mount for the m&w box the finished product will have rounded edges and also be powder coated wrinkle black to match the bay it has rubber inserts behind the tray to help keep vibration down as well.

 

had some time to clean up the tray looks alot better i will prolly drill a few holes in it as well just to keep it as light as possible then get it powder coated.




I am also thinking about making the switch from my fic 2150 to id1300cc injectors i run 93 most of the time and the 2150s are just to big they have to be run rich if you lean them out at all they just shut off.

 

a few small updates i took the car back to house of power to get retuned on pump gas and also e85 final numbers using vd were 594/462 on 93 oct the car had went 130 two weeks before at the track and on e85 it made 795/590

i had the heat on last night and decided to do a 3rd gear pull mid pull i felt hot water hitting my leg so i let out and cruised back home and started to pull the dash yesterday i am assuming the heater core went bad but not sure if i am pressuring the coolant system or not i only say that because one of the heater core hoses has come loose before on 22lbs i am also using L19 arp studs assuming everythings ok she will be at the shootout !!!!



also had a few buddies over trying to get there cars ready to get tuned/ready for ohio the white ix was tuned monday stock turbo with bolt ons and gsc s2 made 375 on pump and 420 on e85.

 

the car looks better than before . good job

 

Its actually a hole different car then at the start of the thread that one was a 05 and this one is a 03 but thanks.

on another note I checked the tq on my headstuds (L19) and they were all at 80 ft lbs so I am going to assume that's why the head was lifting so I tq them higher my block is also o ringed as well so hopefully she will seal this time.

 

Congrats on getting her up and running, man! My car is finally t00ned/aligned and such on the new setup. I'm up in WC every so often, I'd love to check the car out.

 

thanks dude its finally running ok i need to get a alignment still and are you going to the shootout ? if not i will prolly not be in the area again untill the weekend after but i would love to see the car lmk

 

what fitting did you use on the PS pump that adapts to -an? or is it a hose clamp -an fitting?
car looks great! thanks
