Super clean

[AceUp]

due to financial and work circumstances, we couldnt get the car ready for Vegas, but have had a lot of progress so far. I decided to go with a GT3582R instead of the PHR turbo and utilize a tiny T4 Single scroll .58 exhaust housing. to release backpressure, I kept the dual wastegate setup on the twinscroll manifold. Got my fuel rail in and some Delphi 880cc injectors this weekend. Waiting for the ECU, Clutch, and other small stuff to come in so we can get this thing ready for the next vegas event!

[tunermt]

Looking forward to our first e tune session my friend.

[AceUp]

Oh boy where do i even begin?! These past couple months have been pretty rough with a lot of ups and downs for us and the car. But slowly things have been working themselves out. After Evil Engineering (RIP) finished up with the fabrication work, i yanked the motor out for the final assembly. Enjuku Racing and SPEC Clutch hooked us up with their stage 3+ Kit, which is the only clutch that can handle large amounts of Tq and maintain a soft pressure pedal ( I hate clutches that feel like the actual pedal assembly will break off while depressing)




Before throwing the engine back into the car, I wanted to make sure the Trans tunnel would allow enough clearance to pull the much larger R154 tranny out with motor in. So I ended up taking my stress out on the tunnel with a sledge hammer. 20 mins later i made enough room for a fat woman to fit between the trans and the tunnel. After that was done, I used some Low Solid aluminum mounts my friend Dan made for me to bolt the motor up as low and as far back as possible without cutting into the subframe. In theory it would be awesome but in practice it put my oilpan a good inch lower then everything else underneath the car... Luckily the JZ Pick ups arent like SR ones where they are a cunt hair away from touching the pan itself.. Either way Ill eventually build a rally Style Undertray for it.. Next came the wiring.. I hate extra wiring and when you lose the Twins, there is a lot of extra wiring.. On top of that some famous JZ conversion shop got a hold of the harness before me and extended it 3ft for no reason. So when i went to lay out my harness I had a rainbow colored anaconda in my passenger compartment. so after too many hours My friend Efrain and I gutted and shortened the harness back to original length. At this point AEM Electronics decided to join the team and provided us with the Series 2 Box and all the needed sensors


After the wiring was squared away, I moved on to the fuel system, and ran -8 Aluminum Hardline split into dual-6 feeding Delphi 890cc Injectors and used -6 for return. At this point i was pressed against time and wanted to make it to Vegas so i kept the stock tank. The hardlines were a pain in the ass and i would definitely recommend going with AN Flexhose. A week prior to Rd 3, me and a couple of friends worked on the car nonstop for 36 hours to button up all the Plumbing and all the small to stuff to try to make it to a local event to shake the car down with a street tune. 4 hours before the event it was finally time to fire the car u...Plenty of fuel, no spark. At this point i was delirious and wanted to throw things at the car, but after 45 mins of going back thru the harness i pinpointed the the problem to the ignitor. Luckily had another one laying around, threw that one on..No go.. Long story short took 4 hours to realize the ignitor was pinned backwards At that point i had given up on trying to drive it.. Sooo yeah the following week i spent majority of the time trying to work out all the small kinks and stuff but decided with no seat time behind the new powerplant RD3 vegas was a scratch.. But it will be ready to terrorize all those silly sounding V8's in a bit.. so stay tuned.. Since I hate gauges and wiring My friend Dan hooked me up with this fully customizable TunerView RD1 with the AEM Inteface..




PS i apologize for my horrible grammer and lack of cool pictures. I suck at these things.. but i promise to get better and have cooler updates from now on

[TheRealSy90]

Awesome build! Too bad about not being able to make that event.

Bumping because I want Elevens to paint my car haha.

[AceUp]

good choice. Elevens Does work!

[vas570sx]

i want a picture of fire coming from the wastegates NOW!!!

[TheRealSy90]

^In for that.

I'm running my wastegate out the hood also. I THOUGHT OF IT FIRST! :P

[joel.e.krueger]

I'm glad someone else said it too.

[nathanong87]

u guys build some cool stuff

[sil80d]

Damn link!!!! I remember the day you bought that car!

[Johny5]

goddamn this car is cool as hell, fire out of wastegates asap!

[kalypso123]

im in for this <3

[tunermt]

let me know when you have some time to get this thing dialed in so you can post some pics of fire out of those hood exit dump tubes

All you need is some internet while connected to the car and i'll take over your lap top again from across the world for some tuning fun!

Wish i could have made it down to AZ this time around to get this done in person but don't you fret brother the only down side to my distant location is the fact we can't have a throw back BBQ this weekend!

[AceUp]

Found some time and put the front end back on. One of my OEM headlights fell off a shelf and shattered the glass, so i had to settle with some cheapies. The back housings of them are substantially much larger so i had to cut them out to fit. Also need a driver side Corner lamp if anyone gots any!?

Then I got all anxious to see how the tubes would look out the hood and cut a hole out and made a little aluminum plate.



Sometime next week i will address the vmount duct in the hood. Iam Super bummed Iam not driving with all the homies out in Seattle right now, but thats what i get for random midseason drivetrain swaps.

Holy crap, that looks dope! Do you have to slide the hood over those things?

[spectra]

Baller..nuf said.
