I took my car in Jan 3rd 2021 and had my new ignition put in and they found all kinda messed up **** from the last shop wiring wise so I had them fix it. The car didn't act right so they drained the oil and found a mess. Oil and e85 separated and chunks of bearing material from where I ate the engine from washing the cylinders. I had no choice to rebuild. 7 months I waited for rods, 2 months for injectors and about a month for my new fmic.

 

It will Def be worth it in the end. cant wait to see the results.

 

I was worried about making a 1000 wheel with the s371 but now I find out its a 72mm that changes the game being I know it will do a 1000 wheel being the pte 7275 has made over 1000 wheel. The thing is I know I have a better cover and billet wheel on the compressor side now. So yeah I am stoaked needless to say.

 

Update:

Well today I got an email from Mandi. It says that Brad the tech working on it and should have it running by mid next week. She will give me an update if anything happens before then, but shes only in the shop a few hrs a week. The way she made it sound motor and trans are in the car and they are just getting everything hooked up and rewired.

 

That is great!

 

Yeah I'm kinda hoping that it's tuned as well I don't want the car back with a base tune and bring it back kinda thing. I don't have the vaca time to do that.

 

Update:

Well I got a pic from Corey today.



I am kinda wondering wtf happend to all my heat wrap and my expensive *** turbo blanket?

 

The turbo just looks like a mock up turbo maybe? no idea about the heat wrap.

You on stock draintrain?

 

Lol no that's not a mock up turbo that's what's going on my car. Corey said the heat wrap was really nasty with oil from somewhere so they got rid of it which doesn't make me very happy but oh well.
Yes I am on a stock drivetrain for now

 

I got an email from Corey this am and he said the heat wrap was falling off? And what was on the downpipe was just **** cause it was soaked in oil and gear lube lol. Oops my bad I forgot about that. I feel bad cause I wanted to replace all that but I didn't plan on taking the car to a shop. I told him that it came in with wrap and I would like it to leave with wrap. I use ptp lava wrap and it was good stuff except when it was soaked in oil lol.

 

Oooooooweeeeeeee! Your headlights need polishin'!
Alos blah blah rad engine big power me jelly.

 

LOL yeah if I have the third plug I have a buddy with brand new jdm evo8 mr headlights that he will sell me being he has like 3 pair of them to replace those. And trust me you don't want the bill for the big power #s lol. This thing has cost me a small fortune already and I still need stuff to help it not break. Btw I am taking donations if anyone wants to help lol.

 

This stuff works pretty well. https://cerakoteceramics.com/product...-headlight-kit
Might save you money for other things. But i feel you on wanting JDM headlights Me 2

 

I have that saved on my phone and I will order it. Thanks for that. But don't beat me up on this being I havent seen the car in a year and a half and it was the beginning of Jan so it was dirty last I saw it. It is going to need some rust removal soon its looking kinda bad.


Brad is going to take the downpipe back off and rewrap it being that things going to see some heat for sure. We are trying to figure out a better solution for a rad setup. This setup sucks and the car will def overheat the min I see boost.

 

Would a full size thin rad not fit?
