Goodhart's budget beater 1g

[goodhart]

Picked up old man Hill's Thermal muffler, a recirc'd fp intake, and a set of clean stock cams last weekend. Now when I have some time, I can install the cams, gears, etc and get the timing belt on. I still need to clean up one of my valve covers too, maybe get it powdercoated and put that on.

Nice.

Got the motor timed. I had been having a hell of a time getting it set, the crank kept ending up a tooth off. Took a few days off and gave it another shot and it ended up being perfect. Also got some more crap bolted onto it. I sold the 16g a whole back, so I picked up a turbo that will better suit my needs and bought the hardware and oil feed/return for it this morning. Also having the neighbor guy powdercoat the dipstick tube and water pipe just for shits. He's cheap and does good work. Baby will be here any day now, so it will likely be a while until any more progress is made.

Nice.
You might want the pulleys off for installation.
Did you get longer plug wires to reach that bracket? Is that there since you are using a 2g setup?
Looks really good. Just a few mins every day man it's close.

[goodhart]

Nah just got a good deal on it. And it looks nicer imo.

[goodhart]

Well, I got anxious. :D

Got the ARP turbo hardware from FFWD Connection, so it's all mocked up for now until my water pipe and oil/coolant lines get here.

Making good progress man! Can't wait to see more!

[goodhart]

Hasn't been much progress lately with all the house shopping, and the baby and everything. I've slowly been plugging away at ripping stuff out of the white car. The harness is a WHORE btw. Have a pile of parts here that I need powdercoated, and picked up some other random items I've needed.

Got a clutch, it's actually the same one from my green car partout! haha hasn't even been used in the 3 years since I sold it. It's a Comp stage 4, 6 puck. Also got some A1 head studs I'll probably use at some point, and ordered a Turbosmart compgate 40 today. Once we get into the house I can start chipping away at some of this shit.
