My 4 years in, time for a build thread

Can't believe I missed seeing your car at SoWo. Going next year?

what power did it make to snap the bolts

 

[mrbikle]

Curious as well... Sounds like it wasn't torqued correctly?

I have not been on here in a while, wow. Updates right now are, replaced clutch is holding. Will be getting back into it shortly with one of the intake manifolds, probably HPA, a switch over to a new mafless tune with a replaced lamda sensor and 3 bar map. Some hard piping in the coolant system, and probably some other stuff. I will update when I'm actually not being lazy, or bagging cars for others.

As far as a whp number, no idea, never dyno'd it. Like mentioned my guess is the installer of the flywheel didn't torque it right...it wasn't me. Unfortunately will not be at sowo this year.

If you need ideas for the hard pipe, let me know. I found a fitting that does a 90* bend right at the top of the radiator, so all you need is one 90* pipe to run into the block. If you don't want a filler neck on the pipe, run a remote thermostat housing. I'm in the process of redoing my hard pipe right now

Awesome, I will keep an eye on your thread. I'm starting at the heater core and coming forward. I don't like my one coolant line of that crack pipe and the heater core hoses need work to clear the tubular....the zip tie look is not a good one.:biggrin:

Working on keeping it going, it's getting warm so I'll get back at some stuff

Looks like you got a lot done since sowo

 

[OVRWRKD]

Haven't posted in a bit so here's a pic of some of the changes I made over the summer to the cooling system, shaved HPA intake manifold, wiring and switched over to Eurodyne. Got some more stuff I want to change up and further hide.

Yeah man, kind of re-did everything that I wasn't happy with.

How do you like the HPA intake manifold? I'm getting one as well and was just wondering on your impressions. Any issues with tuning to it?

On a more serious note, your build is quite epic! Absolutely beautiful engine bay man!

The hpa manifold is a decent piece. I deleted all the brackets and mounts I didn't need. My casting had a good amount of voids in it, which made it unable to be polished, which bummed me out. But performance/ cost wise it's worth it. Integrated has a nice piece in the works too, just not sure the price point yet.
