Getting closer. Planning to try a start later this afternoon (Sat). Wish me luck.

Got her running for the first time last night (3/7). Other than a few small fuel leaks and a leaky collector gasket, we should be FULLY good to go once the wideband shows up next week. Thanks to Glen and Tom from AZRR for their support and help with troubleshooting last night. Couldn't have done it without them. Excellent engines, products and support. Also, thanks to Steve Lieber who lent a hand or two as well during the evening. Can't wait to be out there running with you soon Stever!

Here are a few pics of today's test fit on my hood. I'm happy to announce that all of the IC piping clears the hood nicely, and those vents should really do their job in removing the heat this summer. Thanks again to everyone!! Brap, brap!!

Hey Tim, are those wastegate control lines & plastic zipties as close as they look like they are to the manifold?

They are actually quite a ways away. For lines, I used Parker Snaplocks and their Jiffy hose. Glen says that he's put a torch to the Jiffy hose and it came away unphased. Don't worry... I'll be keeping a close eye on everything, but thanks for the heads up!

Nice build. Glen and tom are great people to work with during a engine build. Im coming up to phoenix today to get a boost controller put on and re-tuned to run 18 lbs, along with running my coil overs and side skirts. If you are around and want to see azrr other project then let me know. I will be at the shop Tuesday and if need be Wednesday. I will be at the dyno on Thursday.

Looks terrific. I hope my paint looks this good!

Hope to stop over Tuesday during lunch to meet you. I did see your car during the build. Wow, 18 psi should be nice. Are you running a "splash" of race gas at that pressure? I thought 91 octane was only good up to about 16 psi? Just curious.

Thanks! Yes, Glenn Roberts at Finishing Touch did a great job of painting the hood, nose and headlamp covers. I'm very pleased with the final product.

No glen said i can run up to 18 psi before I have to run AI. I will have two setting on the boost controller. my everyday driving and the second setting in can i need to chase down something. I will be at glens at 1:00 tomorrow.

His wastegate lines are A1! I can attest to that...it is the first thing I look over on any FD I see. Hate to have what happened to me, happen to anyone else.

I can't wait to see this car on the road!

Ditto

Actually, I can't wait for a ride in this car!

Looking good Tim.

Your "event" caused me to redo mine within two weeks of that thread.

I still get a little sick thinking about that! I can't imagine being you!

Sweet looking FD though, hood fits well. Love the build, good parts choices and a well executed plan. Top notch!

Tim has what we like to call, "Attention to detail."

If you are me...and after all that work and time, you lose an engine like that...you go NA V8...that is what happens.

Thanks Classic. Appreciate the compliments! Can't wait to get the final few details sorted out and start the break in period!

LOLOLOL!!!! Thanks Brian. What a politically correct way to say that I'm anal retentive. Oh well, I love detail, what can I say. From one "detail" person to another, I consider it a huge compliment since I know you've got the bug as well.

RCCAZ 1 · 03-15-2009, 10:03 PM

Well, we ran again on Saturday, this time for more than 30 minutes. Ahhh, the smell of curing heat wrap on your downpipe. Nice

Anyway, all the fuel leaks are fixed now, however, I need to shore up a small oil leak. Wideband will be in on Tuesday, so hopefully we can get a map loaded by Wed and start driving her.

Here are todays progress pics on my undertray and IC hood shroud mockups. Should have these items completed by this coming weekend as well.

Wow. It seems everybody has a horror story with this. I will make sure to be very careful with this in my upcoming build, which, BTW, is a step closer from having just bought the turbo today.
