Mix_67 Posted May 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 (edited) Well its been a while since this was updated. Just finished up a complete engine rebuild. New bearings and rings reusing stock components. Updated to an m28 head with a metal headgasket. Balance shaft delete. Complete intake manifold rebuild. http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/pp171/mix_67/My%20Cars/2016.jpg http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/pp171/mix_67/My%20Cars/IMG00044-20110402-1415.jpg http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/pp171/mix_67/My%20Cars/IMG00039-20110323-0634.jpg Now running an evo3 16g with a talon exhaust housing that has been modified to use a turbonetics deltagate. Header wrapped the stock manifold and added a PTP turbo blanket. http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/pp171/mix_67/My%20Cars/IMG00045-20110402-2118.jpg Running 750 and 1100cc injectors tuned with a SAFC-2 and a SSI-4. http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/pp171/mix_67/My%20Cars/IMG00052-20110421-2141.jpg http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/pp171/mix_67/My%20Cars/IMG00047-20110402-2121.jpg Sorry about the blurry cellphone pics. Haven't taken any good pictures yet. Currently only has a 6 psi spring in the waste gate so I haven't even got a good pull on the engine yet.

StarquestRescue Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 (edited) Any updates? I like the Caterpillar yellow engine block. Edited June 8, 2011 by StarquestRescue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mix_67 Posted June 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 I should have more info in a few days. Trying to put some miles on the engine before I crank the boost up to about 18psi. Got a decent tune in it at 9.5 psi. It is running very nice right now. Kind of hard to get used to the BSEK and the the lightened flywheel. It is bit of a trick to get going on a hill start without killing the clutch or the tires. Last compression check was at about 50miles had 120psi on the two outer cylinders and 130 on the two inner. Hoping they come together a bit after a few more miles. Also the block is Mopar MAX Wedge orange. Summit had it on closeout and I wanted something other than black so that's what I got. I had been fighting an occasional huge puff of smoke out of the engine bay under boost. Turns out it was a lose clamp at the water pump outlet that only leaked when the revs were high and revs only were high when I was boosting. it would spray out and the rad fans would blow it back against the exhaust manifold causing a huge puff of smoke when it hit the exhaust. I have it all fixed now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mix_67 Posted September 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 Well its about time I update this. After fighting a huge amount of gremlins I have the car running good. I have around 3000miles on the motor and it is running real good. I have a nice tune at 15psi that I have about 20 auto-x runs on. The car performs well on the auto-x course. It is a hair more laggy but much more torque and throttle response at partial boost/power. The car seems to be more controllable now when the tail is out compared to the 14b. I ran a 15.095 @ 95.0down the dragstrip at Norwalk with a 2.5 60' for time. I only had three tries and never got the launch quite right. This was with the boost at about 17psi. I am dropping about 3psi between 3k and 6k but I know that I have a leaky 1g bov. I have just purchased a hks SSQV w/ the recirq fitting hopefully fixing this drop in boost. With a car weight of 2800lbs the innovate is showing 177HP and 195 ft/lbs calculated HP/TQs this is at 14.5 psi dropping to 12psi. Timming is at 10* I hope to get a bit more time in the street tune then get it on a dyno before the snow flies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mix_67 Posted October 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 A few more updates: A shot under the hood after the engine installhttp://i409.photobucket.com/albums/pp171/mix_67/My%20Cars/Drag%20radials/conquest046.jpg There's a shift light on the column. The stock tack wont keep up with the engine any more.http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/pp171/mix_67/My%20Cars/Drag%20radials/conquest047.jpg Bought a set of SHP'9s with BFG 250/40/16 Drag Radials on them. They cleaned up decent and fit well under the Flatty after some quality fender rolling time.http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/pp171/mix_67/My%20Cars/Drag%20radials/conquest040.jpghttp://i409.photobucket.com/albums/pp171/mix_67/My%20Cars/Drag%20radials/conquest031.jpghttp://i409.photobucket.com/albums/pp171/mix_67/My%20Cars/Drag%20radials/conquest035.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyW Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 Holy Jebus man!! nines fit?!?! awesome! Can I have it back now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mix_67 Posted November 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 The 9"s fit width wise no problem after the fenders were rolled. The coilovers just need just a few cranks up to give me a bit more room. Work has been nuts so I haven't had a chance to get any more logs or out the dyno or the track. Should be putting the car away sometime next week. Your more than welcome to take her for a drive some time next spring. The bad news is I will probobly only get one more inspection out of her. The front fenders are completely rotted out, as well as the portions of the body to reattach them to. Worse is after every auto cross I find bits of rust allover the dash. There is starting to be significant rot around the windshield. More than likley will be on the search for a good solid body in the next year or so, then I can swap everything over.

Mix_67 Posted November 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 I don't need 3, just one and I think I am going to stick with a flatty. I plan on putting 215/45/16 A6's on a set of 7's next year for auto-x. Should just need about a 5-10mm to keep them off the strut on the inside.
