Yeah I wouldn't chance that. And I'm pretty sure Farhan wouldn't let me try it even if I wanted to. Good dude.

Disconnected the driveshaft completely.

That's unfortunately because the dyno weighs several thousand pounds and I couldn't get it to move, and cars only look fast when the road is moving.

Only hiccup was the one time the turbo coupler decided to yeet itself on the second to last pull of the day. Aside from that went pretty smoothly. Fantastic day.

Final numbers at the end of the day 477whp/432tq So much moe fun to drive now!

Update time! Let's see what's happened since last time ..... Oh. Clutch pedal assembly was cracked so we reinforced that. Got a brace for the pedal assembly from mdp and welded a reinforcement (thanks @StreetSpeed6 ) and installed firewall brace sandwich plates. That was a lovely way to spend...

Sorry about that. I try to not forget part numbers. That part number is correct, but you will still need to modify the bracket and the bushing on the driver side due to the offset of the axle. I saw that someone on youtube (Wannabe Tuners if I recall) was able to use the Whiteline bushings that...

FYI, I know it's been stated before. But, to get this level of clearance if you go the DSS rear axle route. You're going to need Prothane bushings and then shave it down on both the mount and the bushing. This is what it looks like before shaving it.

Things accomplished this weekend. Front: Crankshaft seal replaced. Shop used loctite on the crankshaft pulley (and I quote: we don't want any reason for that to back out) Passenger UCA - pressed out stock ball joint, pressed in SPC ball joint Pass fork - replace effed bolt with new one from...

Also. Redid my front wiring for the split to both starter and fuse box. Kinda rushed this but it works nicely I think. Now the split is in a waterproof junction box and now I have bussman breakers and heat shrink on everything. Made a bracket that I mounted to the OEM battery mount locations...

So many updates. Not enough time to fish on it atm. One: fuck slate performance. They suck. Two. Made it to Michigan to do the rear end refresh with the nator folk. Drained the diff. And found some broken friction tabs. Yay. Luckily we have spares available to us. So we took the one of the...

Alright that's sorted. Need a new bolt and for it to be torqued properly, but we should be good to go. I'm gonna fix the other leak myself when I get the car back (minimal leaking right at the oil pressure sending unit)

Shop quoted me $900 to replace the crankshaft seal but didn't mention anything about verifying timing after the replacement so now I have to have a discussion with them to give me detail on what all that actually entails. I'd really like my <100 mile built motor to not explode when it leaves...

Also my pilot bearing blew up. I'm guessing this happened when we initially installed it. I distinctly remember it requiring excessive persuasion to slot in.
