The wife’s MS6 has arrived.
- Thread starter Jimme T
- Start date
Didn’t get a whole lot more done but I got the shape figured out for the bowl area in the small intake runner. Also wanted to figure out the cc of the stock combustion chamber before I started smoothing it out. I couldn’t find anything online for the stock chamber size(but I suck attrying to find stuff online). It came out to 44cc just I case anyone else is interested in that info. 
Changed my mind on how I done the porting. Ended up cutting it back a little farther before the split starts. I haven’t done the floor yet but this is pretty much going to be shape. Also wanted to check the weight difference of the springs and retainers. Supertech 70lb dual springs VS stock. Actual valve train weight and spring pressure. The supertech came in at exactly 70lbs. The stock was 55lbs. The difference in weight was surprising to me being double spring VS a single spring. Supertech springs only weighed 4.72g more than the stock spring.

Haven’t had a whole lot of time but got my valve cover sanded down and powder coated. I think it looks great with the raw look of the parts from @Derek@LateNightRacing
I haven’t made a lot of progress lately. Still working on the head. Once the head is done I can start final assembly. Here are some pics along the porting progress. The valve seats are ridiculous. The seat width on the intakes are as wide as the valve face. It’s like the factory cut a 45 on the seat called it a day. 
Haven’t updated this for a little while but finally started making progress again. Old motor is out and the new motor is in. Driveshaft and exhaust is on. Gotta finish plugging in the wiring, get the front mount hooked up and run the fuel lines for the pi. Hoping to get that done this weekend. New wheels and tires came in yesterday now I’m just waiting for the H&R lowering springs to ship. Edge said they should ship this week so I’m keeping my fingers crossed. If all goes well , I should have it running this weekend

Looks good dude!
It’s alive!!! I finally got it up and running today. Took it for a short drive. Everything seems good so far BUT I have some electrical gremlins going on. The only window that works is the driver window. When I turn on the turn signal the rears work fine but the front left flashes no matter which way I turn it on and both dash indicators flash as if the 4 ways are on. And the AP shuts off and says the engine has been shut off but the car is still running. If I unplug it and plug it back in it starts working again. I’m still happy it’s running , now just have to work out the bugs and get some miles on it.
on the blinkers acting up - clean your ground behind the driver head light- u will see a small metal tab bolted down with a 10mm bolt - un bolt it, remove it from the car and clean the little metal connector. should be good right after that.
Any time the battery is disconnected from an ms6, you must go to each door, roll down the window with its dedicated window switch. Then roll it up and hold until you hear it click. Only then will the driver door switch work for each window. Do this for the driver window as well for the auto up/down to work.
For the flashers. Infront of the fuse box In the engine bay, there is a 4 wire ground bolted to the frame rail. That's for the bcm. Clean it up and resecure it. That will fix that issue.
As far as the AP. Sounds like a loose pin in the obd2 port
yeah that ground is notorious for getting corrosion and the blinkers and somwetimes the headlights will act stupid. Just make sure you clean all the points of contact. not just where it bolts to the car but the little metal spades too.
Awesome where did u find the broken ground at?
