So not much of an update, parts are slowly starting to trickle in. Got my intercooler kit in, Pettit added a few goodies for the delay, they had to wait and get the new turblown intake elbow to fab up the last charge pipe connection. they threw in a billet oil filler cap and some other goodies...

SRI, HPFP, testpipe, tune. stop there. add a gfb bpv for fun noises if desired.

worked on the engine side fuel system today. Pulled the entire factory assembly out and replaced with radium components and a JP3 kit. 1050 primary and 2600 secondary. Total flow capacity is around 7k cc. Good enough for e85 if I ever go that route. Came with all the fittings and lines needed...

Well I’m in deep now. First look at the keg itself. Fortunately none of this is going back so I didn’t really have to keep track.

So right before the end of the season. Mrs DB's waterpump decided to take a shit Drained the coolant and replaced it last night. Also pulled off the extra brackets from the dealer installed AC system that doesnt work Got it all back together but havent turned it over yet. She snapped the...

Soo finally an update Over the winter we pulled the valvecover to check clearances between the cam and valve springs, while we were in there did an old school mod and jumped the cam forward 1 tooth on the timing chain. then did a compression check - went to 180 on all cylinders Rebuilt the...

So, not much to report on the car as of late Fixed the overheating issue - stock Tstat was getting stuck - replaced it with a 165* fast acting, replaced the hoses while i was in there Eliminated the smog air pump and associated components in preparation for an upgraded fueling system Found...

Made some new friends. haven’t thrown money at it in months so it started overheating just to show me who’s in charge.

350/325 @6k had to retune due to my cat deciding to brick itself and clog the exhaust. New tuner. He didn’t like the injectors running at 110% like the previous tune, especially on 30 yr old factory components. limited me to 85% IDC and basically run out of fuel at 6k so that’s the new...

Shake n bake baby

Check for critters eating wires. Tommy had the same issue. Ran a new wire to the fuel pump and was all good

Since my wife wont make her own build thread here, I will. Hopefully she decides to join and update as she progresses, time will tell Since she has been very suppportive of my rather expensive project, last November she was able to source her own. There are rules I must follow and she checks...

My favorite build so far. There’s an ungodly amount of money into this.

Its not much more than any other car, all the components were just sized correctly for factory levels without much headroom. It also depends on goals, im looking for maximum spool for street use There is the rotary tax on components though, i thought the speed was expensive. Turbo kit I am...
