87T2 Major Overhaul :: Highlight Reel

stylEmon · 09-22-2008, 08:22 AM

I went nuts with the coatings, but my motor is pretty tough.

I got a stock fpr for now. Not really the route I want to go, but I got to get her back on the road. (when they sit, things magically break).

So she'll be back on the road this week, and back to tuning.

Car Is Running Again. I Should Have The New Wideband Sensor In Today And Ready To Touch Up The Map!!

Sweetness - I want to see some numbers, lol.

i used to have probe wheels on my turbo II

stylEmon · 09-26-2008, 12:22 PM

I'm sorry.
Mine are not probe wheels on the front. They are from a protege or something...

waiting for walbro #2 to arrive...

Sweet setup man! I been following your build thread on 7club for a while. I kinda wished I got my motor studded instead of being pinned, but only time will tell if I'll even care when shes running. Good job with everything!

stylEmon · 10-12-2008, 09:48 PM

thanks. Yours looks pretty nice. Very clean and well done. I am a sucker for sleepers.
I've always wanted to go with the REW upper intake... I hate the FCs twisted upper intake.

There are a few things I wish I would've done now (S5 motor for rear plate, REW intake manifolds, light flywheel) but mine screams when I get on it so can't really complain.

rotorhead87 · 10-13-2008, 07:15 AM

I bet if you did switch over to a REW manifold and port matched it I would not be surprised if you pick up extra HP for your beast. It really helps the air flow smoothly go into the ports with the least resistance. I guess in the S5, S4 UIM the air gets crammed into the manifold, then the air has to make a climb up the manifolds ports. lol I hope that makes any sense, but I have no hate towards any rotary setups as long as she screams...right. I just happened to be a die-hard 13B-RE loyalist.

stylEmon · 10-13-2008, 09:39 AM

i agree completely. That is the most efficient 13b intake set up. I've seen back to back dynos with an S5 UIM then a RE UIM. There was a decent amount of high end torque added with the RE.

stylEmon · 10-16-2008, 04:32 PM

well, I got the new pump.
Went to take the old one out and the tank is rusted!
Freaking sucks man, this will be the third tank for my FC....

stylEmon · 10-29-2008, 01:30 PM

I went to a local paint supply store and got this Fuel Tank Repair kit from POR15.
I am NOT going through another tank!!

^ POR is great - I'm using it on my FC right now for undercoating.

stylEmon · 10-30-2008, 03:51 PM

OMG that was hard work...
I had to vigorously shake a 15 gallon tank for 20 minutes, THREE times!!!
I'm in pain.

I still have to apply the sealer, but all I need to do with that is roll it around.

What's the best way to make your Throttle cable mod?
