Finished ordering all the parts needed to assemble the motor. HP rod and main bearings w/ coatings, OEM oil pump, rear main seal, crank key, crankshaft oil hole plug and the thrust washers. JTran has all the ARP studs in stock and I have the rebuild gasket kit already. Hopefully all that crap will arrive when the pistons get here so we can tear down, and rebuild without waiting on anything. The spare block I purchased has been at the machine shop for about a week getting prepped for the rebuild. COMP Turbo is taking their sweet time upgrading/rebuilding my turbo, hopefully another week or so. JTran still needs to weld up a new turbo manifold as well. Lots to do!
Still debating on a fuel system, I have a few friends running setups from
https://radiumauto.com/index.php?p=c...&parent=5&pg=1 ,probably doing something along this line with a CJM full return system.
Still debating on exhaust cams and upgraded springs/retainers. Seems pointless at this time as cam lift can still NOT be controlled w/ an UpRev tune, only cam timing. Haltech is said to be coming out with a unit with full VVEL control, I'm skeptical but JTran says it's going to happen.
Seat rails are coming from Bride in Japan so who knows....fml.
Get more updates when kool stuff starts happening.
