Very nice.

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

Freaking awesome! Love the gauges.

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

Do I see TWO boost gauges?! lol

I ALSO want a ride!

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

And 2 widebands! LOL!

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

The other two are on the A-pillar. ;)

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

It's going to be a full time job just keeping all the gauges working. :)

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

Why that steering wheel?????

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

I gotta pull one of the boosts and put in my auto temp one.

Also just put the narrow band in there to see if I cut the hole right.

Why the steering wheel? Cause its better than rocking a stock one with airbag for track days.

Also huge thanks to Tyler, Miles and Joel. Got a lot more done than I thought I would which is awesome considering we didn't start doing anything till 6:30 tonight.

Got the JIC coilovers installed, trans bolted to the motor with the kiggly kit, and the motor installed in the car. Also swapped rear rotors out for the slotted ones I had sitting here.

On to the pics.

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

FFFUUUCKCKK yyyeaaahhh!!!

I know a guy with a digital auto temp gauge....

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

Sweeeeeeet! Looks great Nick!

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

Nice progress!!

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

Any suggestions for break in. 10-30 conventional with zinc additive? I'd research but back at work and have no free time but would like to pick up today or tomorrow.

Thanks in advance.

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

New motor? I'd just a dino oil and put in some additive maybe.

Someone made a post about oil somewhere, i don't remember. But don't worry about it too much, oil is dependent on tolerances used more than anything from what I've been told.

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

VR1 non syn with an additive. Done. Thanks!

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

Hey that's my thread! Most of that is already after initial break in in my thread. What I did was just put in some really cheap 30wt for initial start up. I ran it for 20min between 2k and 3k rpms varying it the whole time. Then i put in amsoil break in oil. Ran that for the first 30 miles then changed the oil. Then i put in amsoil break in oil again and ran that to 250 miles then changed to a couple conventional.

Regular conventional though too

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

The traditional school of thought was to use a non-detergent oil with no friction modifiers, so the rings had more friction to establish their wear patterns against the cylinder walls.

The people over at Bob is the Oil guy keep finding high concentration of Molybdenum in new cars when they preform a UOA, so that kind of blows the old school theory out of the water.

Frankly, I'm not sure what to believe any more.

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

So what about rotella t5 with a zinc additive. Rotella is what I plan on running once is broken in to.

Thanks Shawn. Ill figure this out kinda wanna start it tonight!

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

Map usually has amsoil break in oil in stock ;-) it's like 7 bucks a quart. Let me know if you do start her up. If I'm off work I'll swing up if you want a hand

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

Now in stupid carpet layer talk. Lol.

But yeah I don't think it matters as long as you get that zinc in there.
