Go with what you got I guess, it's a locked apartment garage. No robbers to speak of, but to each his own.

I have been away for a while but that was all in an attempt to get the major parts of this build sorted.

Big thank you to Jwick and Sasha for all their help in this. More pictures to come but I wanted to throw a few on here to mark my progress. I have everything in and the base map loaded. She Lives!!

Quick update to the parts list includes CJ Motorsports S1 fuel return system. Great customer service from Charles as well. When I was checking over the system I had no fuel pressure at the gauge.. Sent Charles an e-mail that night and 7 AM the next morning he was in touch seeing how he could help. Great guy. Turns out it was my stupidity by not letting the fuel pump prime several times to build pressure. Also, that kit is a beast of an install due to the cramped quarters in the engine bay.

Here is the start of the pictures. Currently the only issue is a clacking/rattling sound upon acceleration in 2nd and 3rd gears. I plan to go through the majority of the heat shields and exhaust connections to rule them out but no leaks as of yet. I have ruled out oil levels at this point. Any input would be greatly appreciated here.

Nice bro. Glad you got the fuel pump sorted. Tune is this week, right?

As for rattling. I would check all the inter cooler piping and t-bolt clamps. I had to pad a bunch of places to prevent knocking on stuff.

Supposed to be tuned today but had to re-schedule due to delay of base tune.

As for the rattling.. Double sided tape?

That would work. I used foam tape on the t-bolts and in other areas I cut up the OEM radiator hoses and zip tied it in place.

This weekend's update is the addition of the Z1 Akebono Two-Piece Brake Rotors.

While I wish I was at Zdayz.. I got a little car time in:

Finally got the car dyno worthy after a fuel pump issue. Will write a detailed report later but here is an image of the car on the dyno and the final results:





She is officially an IPL now. Barks tires and all.

Thanks to everyone for their help along the way.

Nice!

Who did the tune? That's a lot of power for 9psi.

[Gajewski]

Motion Lab in Charlotte, NC. Great people over there.
