So last we left off, I dropped my hot parts off at the machine shop 4/17. I hadn't heard anything from them by last Wednesday, so I called them up to see if the parts would be done that day. They knew I was heading to Pocono Friday. Well, the...
Update time. Still waiting on the block to come back from the machine shop. Dropped it off in January. Getting frustrated. Wanted to have the motor in the car in April to feel comfortable with my time line of my first event being June 22-23. Been...
I'm usually only cleaning it from the tailpipe and it cleans off easily with wheel cleaner and a brush. I'm also able to clean it off the o2 housing etc. with some brake cleaner or solvent like that. The wbo2 sensor gets coated just like...
OOoo nice. I've got a roll of ASA I haven't opened to play with yet. Also some PC that I'm scared to even try. 🙃 Great idea on the foam from an insulation and sealing standpoint. I should have realized that.I'm on Inventor and it has an...
Honestly I've always wondered the same thing haha. And I just got back from dropping the hot parts at the machine shop and they asked the same thing. The red color starts about 2" into the exhaust manifold (none in the head) and continues on...
Thanks! I use ASA for most of my functional parts and everything on this project. I'm kind of new to 3d printing so we'll see how it holds up over time. I do have high temp foam/rubber trim on the ducts where they meet the cooler, so the...
Looks awesome!What material did you go with for the 3D printed parts? I've been making functional parts from CF PETG and I see that's outside the engine bay but I'd still be worried about warpage where it touches the heat exchanger. Sooooo...
Time for an update I guess. Not much happened over the winter, we spent most of the time working on Brian's Miata to get it better-prepped for this season. I got the transmission back at the end of December and got that reinstalled, then...
Here's my setup I put together over the winter:TRE welded 1/2" NPT fittings on the transmission
Setrab 50-619-7612 cooler
Marco UP3 164-020-12 pump
Mocal AF8_240 filter (240 micron)
XRP -8 ProPLUS PTFE hose/fittings
Controlled by RaceCapture...
Back at it today! Had some time to kill with the holiday so I drove out and did some more wrenching. The transfer case is back in and the driveshaft no longer drags on the ground, which is a win for transport.Then came some further testing...
Spring is here (ish), which let me move the Evo out from its out-of-town, climate-controlled storage, and into the shop on the other side of the building. The first priority for today was to get the transmission into the car, so that the car can...
We didn’t take many pictures today, it was just an 8 hour drive on I-8 and I-10 from Yuma across the southwest states of Arizona, New Mexico, and back into Texas! Once again, the DSM did amazing! We have a few little things we want to work on to...
This morning we left El Segundo and headed south on the Pacific Coast Highway. Just south of LA we stopped at Laguna Beach and Victoria Beach. It was still pretty windy in the morning but the sun was shining and we had fun getting our legs wet in...
Whoo! We crammed a lot into a single day!We woke up early and broke down camp. I cleaned all the bugs off the front bumper, checked the oil and coolant, and then we hit the road! We had a roughly 2 hour drive to our first stops in LA and it...
I might be crazy, but I’m doing it! A weekend trip from Texas to the Pacific Coast of California in my 1991 GSX. For the preparations leading up to this trip, check out my build thread...
This is for a GSX? That doesn't look like the fuse box from a 2g turbo - do you have a non-turbo harness? And where is the approximate location of that connector in the car?
I measured a 2ga FWD, 2ga AWD and 2gb AWD pins and found no major differences between them.I also installed them all into a 2gb knuckle just for shits and giggles and to remove all doubt.
