Build update

I have started my engine swap on the FD. I will be doing this in stages so I can make the races I plan to attend. I am trying not to get too many projects going at once.

Stage 1:

Engine swap, built by David Jerome.
Excessive LIM ( Thanks Jeff Kiesel)
Newer transmission from 36K donor car (Thanks tomsn16)
Swap diffs (I was planning on testing out some things for the first race)
Addition of EGT probes so I can log the exhaust temp. (Thanks Ludwig)
Addition of back pressure sensor to log pressure in manifold. (Thanks Ludwig)
Fix damaged fender ( Thanks to my body shop dude and Brent for the donation!)
Dyno tune ( Ludwig)

Stage 2:

Electric water pump controlled via Ludwig installed Haltech
Electric power steering pump from S2000
Relocate Alternator. ( not yet decided)
Maybe play with different exhaust housing based on the data from stage 1 results.


Also here are some pictures of the damage I did last Sunday.
