Well after thinking I was going to get to this earlier in the year.. work/life got real busy
now that things are cooling down a little and I have some more time I have decided to finally tackle this project with the help of the guys over at Apex Tuning and C2 Motorsports
The goal: ~325-350whp daily ( yes nothing grand or great.. but for what I am looking for, more than plenty. )
First off.. the car:
I have sold the Milanos and am currently running B6 Rs4's on there..no time for pics
Second .. the list
Major Components:
** T3/T04e .57 trim .82 A/R
** Kinetic Exhaust Manifold
** ARP Main Studs
** ARP Head studs
** ARP Rodbolts
** Walbro Inline Fuel Pump
** Custom 3.0" Downpipe
** Forge007 DV
** C2 8.5:1 Headspacer Gasket
** C2 Motorsports Software
** C2 95mm MAF housing
** C2 motorsports SRI
** 42# Injectors
** Spark Plugs - NGK BKR7E
** Sachs Power Clutch
** 38mm Tial Wastegate ( 9psi spring )
** VF Engineering Motor mounts
** JRC Intercooler
** Custom 2.5" I/C piping
** Custom 3" exhaust
** Small Battery
Will be refreshing the engine with :
** New timing chain & guides
** TT Sport Valve Springs
** Titanium retainers
** 8V Hydraulic Lifters
** WaterPump
** Thermostat Housing
** Thermostat
** Thermostat Cover
** Gruvenparts Crack Pipe
** Auxilliary Water Pump
** Rear Main Seal
Gauges & Electronics:
** Greddy Profec B-Spec II
** Autometer Nexus Controller
** Autometer Nexus Boost
** Autometer Nexus A/F (wideband)
and finally the beginning...
Got the engine pulled, cleaned block, tranny and engine bay... just so u know I am a little ocd.. so I was in the engine bay with a toothbrush
Everything looked really good when we pulled the head off http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif
Managed to get the MAF wiring extended by about 6 feet so i can hook it up on the passengers side ... not fun
You can see here that I ran the wires through the raintray and through the rubber grommet at the top and along where the washer fluid line ran. You can also see where i went nuts with the toothbrush
I opted to purchase a new MAF connector as the old one was brittle.. If I have enough room I may cut the connections off on the end so I only have one splice vs 2.
The manifold and exhaust housing are off getting a 1600 deg. coating to help keep the engine bay temps down.
Well that is all for now.. I will update as more gets done
