Thread: Convention Build Status

Sorting out a ton of small stuff on my B14. I doubt it will be ready, but I am trying. I am busy every weekend from now to the convention so its tough to find time.

Hmmmmm where is that motor heading out to

Will be a monster when its done.



Good stuff Shawn. The bolted-on DE may take the prize. Has the best chance of not breaking



Hurry and get that thing up here. 4am tuuuuune timee (with Roco)

Head up one of these weekends and help me build the turbo car. Manifold/turbo will be here in a week or so.

Truth! Hammerin Hank threw it down last year for the DEs.

speaking of CSK, need to contact my guy about mine.

Did you sell them to somebody... then buy them back and then sell them again? Now need them back again?

Bring the pulsar......oh wait, you sold it

Ordered the last couple parts yesterday, a couple are in transit already, and everything will be waiting for me when I get home on the 3rd.

On the 4th I plan to take the head to the machine shop to have resurfaced, cleaned, valve stem seals, springs and retainers installed, drilled for the 1/2" studs.

On the 6th I start working on the car, build the motor, take the new intercooler to have the v-band flanges installed onto it, take the fuel tank to get the sump welded on, and so on.

Leaves me plenty of time during the day while my daughter is at school to get the job done.

I have my dyno appointment weekend of the 19th, as long as that goes well ill try to get as much seat time in at the track to dial it in and as long as that goes well, Cage week of the 21st. While thats getting done ill get my new front bumper painted and ready to go on. All in all its going to be hectic but it will without a doubt get done without having to stress too much.

Sounds like you have plenty of time.

Get her done. Should be doing the turbo car build around the same time.

Nope he didn't buy them back (yet)

Yeah everything is pretty much ready to go. Its really just a matter of building the motor which is less than a days work then putting it in. I have a couple wires on my mil-spec harness to finish up installing connectors onto and adding the wires for the EGT, mock up the piping to have welded once its in the car. Install my 5/8" feed line and -10 hoses and fittings and new pump.

Lots to do but in reality not really. After its done ill fine tune the out of boost fuel and timing and related settings and then do a corner balance on it and then take it to get an alignment as it needs one badly.

Ill be busy thats for sure.
