Re: Public Service Announcement

It was worth it. These roads are incredible. It's crazy how relaxed the local law enforcement are too. As long as you keep control of your vehicle and keep it between the "mustard" and the "mayo" they don't much care how fast you drive the road. Unfortunately everyone does't abid...

Re: Public Service Announcement

What a journey. The car has had low oil pressure for a while and the day before we left for deals Gap I decided to cut open the oil filter and inspect it. I found metal shavings in the oil. Luckily I had a spare motor built for it already. The old motor was built about 10 years ago and had a pretty ...

Re: Public Service Announcement

She's alive! And Scarry low! I fought some rpm sync issues with the Megasquirt for about 3 days until I found a broken solder joint and dug out a spare crank sensor and dropped it in. Problem solved. I still have an issue with my trailing coils not firing but I can live with that if I can't figure o...

Re: Public Service Announcement

I think it was pretty ok. I'm not a great aluminum welder.. so I had a couple different people tack it and weld it. The better welder put nice beads on it where the less experienced welder made some fairly ugly tacks. My thought is.. if your skilled enough.. you can make a good weld even if its poor...

Re: Public Service Announcement

Finished up the last big piece before final assembly. Downpipe.. Check. It's not exactly pretty but it will do the trick. Good thing it will be wrapped. 3-in 409 stainless steel and it barely fits. I also started the final assembly of the manifolds, fuel system, and wiring harness. I have to say it'...

Re: Public Service Announcement

More shiny parts! I decided to powder coat the intercooler plumbing and it turned out pretty good! Finally got the fuel rails cleaned and powdered as well as the fuel pressure regulator top hat. Now it's time for assembly!! The rails and top hat are in wrinkle black powder... hopefully it's not too ...

Re: Public Service Announcement

Not this build.. but I had to take a break and build some motors.. this thing is going to be cool too. Bridge port NA rx-2. Assembly is balanced to 1 gram with late model 12A components. Below you'll see some rotors from a twin dizzy 12A. Dual side seals, 6mm Apex seals. The convertible is a turbo L...

Re: Public Service Announcement

Yea.. it's too bad they come assembled. It's possible to desolder them but it sucks.

Re: Public Service Announcement

The worst part about Megasquirt is the cheep DB37 connector. Unfortunately I won't be getting rid of it entirely just yet however I will be building a case that uses a AMPSEAL connector that has a jumper to the DB37. If I were building a MS from scratch then I would leave the connector off and wire ...

Re: Public Service Announcement

One laced up! Only three to go. Color looks great with the orange centering ring. I found that some of the bolts that came with the wheels are a different size. They are barely different diameters yet same size 12 point socket head. I have no idea if they go in a certain spot or if a different size ...
