Re: SE take two!

I still can't get over how small and cute our shortblocks are. Awwww, it's just a little motor.

Any particular reason you didn't go with new timing stuff?

Re: SE take two!

Tensioner, pulleys, and water pump should be fine with only 20k miles. The belt will be new.

Never liked the 9's gearing imo too short and going with a stroker and larger turbo that would make the gearing seem even shorter plus as a young lad reading R&T dreaming of someday owning a car that could do 200mph so 190mph seemed close enough plus don't plan on having enough hp to get to 200 but should have enough for 190.

Re: SE take two!

Could have gone with a TRE 3.73 final drive too. Here's a sweet chart someone made that shows different mph/gear/final drive options, you can play around with it a little: http://forums.evolutionm.net/2087604-post22.html

Either way, this is a bad ass mod.

Re: SE take two!

Lots of respect for you doing your own work but the colors seem hideous ATM. Hopefully you have a grand vision and it'll look right when your bring it together.

Re: SE take two!

Should polish the letters on the valve cover for some contrast

I shoud've got the letters done in black which I'll probably do later down the road. As far as the color choice I got it from a picture I saw of a Ferrari racing engine from the turbo era.

Re: SE take two!

Black letters would look great, I was thinking that last night too actually. That would be easy enough to change.

The red is a very bright red, not the orange/pinkish it appears in the pictures. I think once it's all buttoned back up it's going to look great in there. You don't see many coated IM's besides black in the Evo world.

Well more progress today and once again it was hot as hell outside but no problem with the AC maxed inside and fans directing cold air into garage!! Laramie and I got the Engine all ready to be put in and away it went in!! Chris came by later got fuel rail injectors and bunch of other small stuff on. Now to figure out where all the fucking connectors on the wiring harness goes All kidding aside it getting real close.I cannot stress too much how thankful I am to have to have such good friends helping in this project!!!!

Re: SE take two!

Awesome progress today! Glad to be apart of this build for sure. Post some pics of the EF3

Things to do:
1. order new front o2 sensor
2. order some shifter cable bushings so we don't have to reuse the crap mush rubber ones
3. look up the ACD bleeding how-to
4. buy some break-in engine oil
