Thought I'd just throw an update on here...

Fuel lines have been routed, the FPR looks ridiculous with the fittings I'm using (not even going to post up a pic; I don't want to get flamed!), and intake is on... Need to cut the hood some (two 1/2" spacers are on, one for injectors, one for plenum).

A lot of work has been postponed. My mom's heart was failing due to a congenital heart defect that occurs in less than .01% of the population (of that .01% only .003% of them has the abnormality on the left side of their heart!!!). So she had major open heart surgery at USC. Fortunately she pulled through, and it looks like I'll get to keep the car. But between taking care of her (it's a legitimate 24 hour endeavor) and going to school I haven't had much time or energy to work on this thing.

Hard to say when this thing will be done, but I'm not giving up any time soon! (Unless someone wants to buy this thing ofc LOL)

 

Sorry to hear about your mom. Glad everything went well. Good luck with everything both family and
Car.

 

Just saw this, thanks man I appreciate it.


Got the lines, most of the wiring done (need to do a little more on the hanger to set things up right and the IAT sensor) just need to do the oiling system and a few other loose ends of course.

 

*creeping*

 

Lol

Current status: waiting on devil's own to get straight nozzle holders (we ended up moving the nozzles to the lower runners)
Waiting for a base tune from dynosty
Going to check for good oil pressure later this week (now that I have gauges almost wired in lol)
Welded up the stock rails; the aftermarket ones I had were leaking like a stuck pig when we went to start her up.
When first start happens, the car will head to the shop to get new flexpipes and a bigger FMIC.

 

oh wow so actually making progress lol

 

Define "progress" LMAO

 

more then one part installed per month?

 

Oh then in that case, we're all progress.

Redesigned the oil system, got an oil pan spacer, got a rev up lower plenum, got tons of nice boost ports and all that put in lol.

Have a bunch of tests this week, 3 day weekend ahead. If I'm not getting drunkenly getting lucky with a lady friend, I'll definitely be up early this weekend wrenching on this thing.

 

Latest on the build?

 

I have some new parts, 265 in tank pump, dual 044 in external sump, rear battery relocation, id2000cc's etc. -10 fpr

Got her running super pig rich a couple of times so need to mess with the VE table.
Unfortunately been dealing with a lot of GI problems (few different diseases, ulcerative pan colitis, and a few that I'm still waiting on endoscopies/biopsies to confirm).
So I've not done much with the car, and have fallen behind schedule in more than just the build relm. Apologies for the further delays. Probably will be 2015 before I'm healthy and have strength again to get back on track.

Have a few ideas in the pipeline... Perhaps even a re-work of the exhaust side

EDIT:
Good news though was after checking oil filter I found no debris etc on the first startup. I have a few oddities that I need to work out on the stock crap that got messed up along the line... fixed most of the electrical but need to order a couple new hardlines lol. And bought new slave/master as the old one was fuxd (not sure if it was master or slave, so just replaced both, but broke the hardline in installation process). Oh and the car is loud as *****, it's awesome. The only video I saved of it running sucks, and the power steering was leaking horribly so all you really hear is a really loud belt squeal lol.
