update, motors in the car just need to finish hooking lines and plugging the ecu and haltech in. should start today and get tuned tomorrow

 

motor is in and car is running! will be doing a mild tune today and run it for a week or so and make sure everything is bottoned up correctly and theres no quirks!

 

so drov the car 150 miles and it looks like the HG has let go agian, confirming this and then goign to part everything from the motor out, shortblock crank rods pistons, heads cams springs, injectors. and the gtm tt kit. been talking to the guys down at up rev and working on setting up a pretty big build, will let more info out as things actually start coming together

 

Wow, really sorry to hear that, I'd be gutted after all that effort

 

is there a reason why the head gasket keeps blowing?

 

Its not blown, OP just hasn't updated this thread. He's got another thread in the FI section. Car seems to be running great

 

update, had the car tweaked a bit yesterday had some timing pulled because it was getting a bit of knock and we played with the cam phasing.

end result have a much safer pump gas tune and with the cam phasing adjustment, ended up picking up 30 whp and 55tq. sitting at 656 and 582 now on 92 on just osiris. going to get the haltech tuned on it next week sometime and see if we can bump it a tad more with adjusting the dwell and cleaning up the spark up top a little

 

update, the wrong slave unit i had from the twin OS was causing engine noise and tripping my CEL. so when i destroyed that imput shaft and got the correct replacement cleared all that up. no engine noise no CEL's now. We retuned the other night started with the same map that made 650/580 in 50 degree weather and dide a base run and put down 550/540 with ambiant temps in the shop at 101 degrees. after an evening of starting on fresh maps (cleared up a starting problem i was having with having to feather the gas to get it running, it now starts perfectly hot and cold with no throttle imput) it put down 640/590 on 16 psi heat soaked in 101 degree temps. pretty confident when it cools down here in a few weeks it will be over 700 easy. very happy with how the car is running now ^_^
