nice did you get to do all the work your self?

Everything but the engine work, sadly i do not own a machine shop

No updates lately.. Long story but my garage size was severely downgraded moving into las vegas so despite my better judgement I had to have someone else pull the engine and do a full rebuil on head and block. New oil pump with AZP pipe, shimmed. New oil squiters, BC 272 Cams, 1mm over sized valves... Etc..
Well Final Stage, Turbo Tony apparently used a bolt that was too long for the adjustable cam gear from titan which kept the ball on the end of the cam in the closed posistion preventing oil flow to the exhaust cam. Snapped the Cam in two pieces as well as destroyed the head. 6 mo's later and alot of headaches and a newly reaffirmed distaste for mechanics that touch my car... It is finally over at DDS performance getting a final check on everything before going on the dyno and getting tuned. So getting car back tomorrow... Then ripping apart the suspension starts. Then perhaps ill get to drive it... :dance: |
dam i would love to see ur car never seen it out here in vegas and yeah turbo tony does get mad horse power out of his car but he doesnt do things right and so they dont last long at all sorry to hear that u went through him first i hear things about him since living in vegas to i even meet the guy and chated with him at a meet one day
|
the damn cam bolt....god im glad i never let anyone else touch my cars haha. then i can just blame myself when shit goes wrong.
thats a rough lesson to learn tho, and it sucks that it roasted those cams... hopefully when its all back together it will be flawless, GL! |
The emanage did not have enough tune ability with the 272cams. Basically timing was either to advanced or to retarded. With that the car would either run and give knock and pull power out with boost or just not start at all...
So in comes the AEM EMS. Should be finished tuned and dyno'd by friday. Ill post up pics then |
So as far as tentative dates from mechanics....
Car got a base tune done on the AEM and as soon as it went into boost the head lifted. Thanks again for that amazing rebuild Tony... With the engine out of the car again pulled the trigger on the rest of the build. Fully Forged/Blue printed engine is now complete and all checks out thanks to DDS. Everything should be good to go for Friday hopefully will get some pics up and be able to drive it for the first time in.... |
Love those wheels.. exactly what I am looking for. Very interested in their fitment when you get them on. I am wondering how the rear 10's fit as I dont have mine rolled or pulled. Not sure if I can get away with that size.
Your car would probably show it once they are on. : ) |
