The car runs, it would have fired right up but I forgot to mark which coil was what, so after 10min of poking it starts and cams at 1400rpm on E-85 with an old map I had converted to 550cc primary injectors and E-85.
Now for the bad news, to make a long story short I was trying to get the car on the dyno and up to the MAP shoot out this weekend. But the Evo 3 3rd and 4th gears I bought for the home made Stage 4 tranny are on national back order and I will not have them for a few weeks.
I would ask to buy or borrow a tranny or just the gears from a tranny but I think I can wait a little longer for my parts to show up. So for now here is a small look at what we have been up to for the past 2 months.
Here is a run down of the new shinny parts:
- Tranny, everything to make a stage 4 tranny: evo 3 1st gear, cut double syncro 2nd, evo 3 3rd and 4th gear conversion, new bearings threw out, welded center diff, welded parts on the front diff you help keep it in 1 piece, new shift forks, new magnetic drain plugs, new throw out fork and throw out bearing, etc
- Quarter master twin disk clutch
- Tial 38mm WG with 1.6bar springs x2
-Tial 50mm bov
-A1000 fuel pump, filters, and FPR
-PTE 550s primary and ford 1600cc secondary injectors
-civic 1/2 sized radiator
-17" wide Kirkey race seat and 5 point harness for the passanger side
-A ton of electrical stuff to make everything work
-BF goodrich T/A drag radials 225 50 15's this should give me a 9.2" contact patch at all 4 corners
-etc
So I hope to get it down the track this season yet, but as the title goes on the galantvr4.org post, the never ending project.
