It runs!

Even after all I've done to it! Here's some pics. And if you've never run your engine with only a down pipe on it, you should do it sometime!



Special thanks to Dee, Ryan and everybody else who contribted suggestions and advice!

NICO rocks!

Looks good man! I will have to check it out sometime if you are ever down in the Denver metro area.

You like that SDS? I love it when wicked projects like that come together. That car should do nicely on the track.

You like that SDS?

I sure do. I'm still learning how to work it, but I'm very happy with it. I'm curious how smoothly the CA commonly idles. Mine is a bit rough... I'm not sure if it's just due to the fact that I haven't finished tuning it yet, or maybe because of the poly bushing mounts I used to mount it it's just more noticable? Maybe the big (660cc) injectors make a difference? Any ideas?

Mine idles alright with 555cc injectors. It's a little cold blooded but not too bad. It does change a lot with load (headlights, fan, defrost, ect.) but it never dies or anything.

Do you have the high idle setup Ryan?

Would love to see your motor mounts and manifold. I had the hardest time getting that darned manifold to clear the steering column. I used a SS autocrap one and cut it to peices and re tig welded it up. My car has a custom built IRS with components from a 280ZX Fits into the STOCK MGB rear end only mod is to cut out the battery boxes. Makes the car handle like its on rails! Ran the dyno before the rebuild and was at 202 RWHP will be intrested to see if the internal mods make a difference.

hey Arron, got any pics of the whole car?

[NismoBgt]

Ed this is a Different CAR! His is a B mine is a BGT

[Bwana]

Nope, 'cause it's pretty ugly! I'm in the middle of body work... I'll get a pic as soon as I get it all primed.

Here's a pic of NismoBgt's car.

Mine differs in that it's a roadster.

(If you have a better pic throw it up Todd and I'll take this one down)

[Bwana]

Here's a pic I just took of my manifold, turbo and downpipe (3" btw). I purchased a log manifold kit from forced fab and welded it up. Gives me good clearance, though that big downpipe was a challenge to snake through.

Posted some engine bay shots with the others on my website. Check them out.

Do you have the high idle setup Ryan?

Yes I do. And my cold start problems have been eliviated as well. I had the start cycles too high. I don't know why, but my car seems to start the eaisest/fastest at only 5/6 cycles. One of the first things I learned tuning this motor was to not give it what I thought it should want, but what it likes. That's very hard to get into your head sometimes. Or maybe I'm just bullheaded...
