power washer, and silver paint for the subframe and ****. I want to see the leaks.

 

I have a track day on 9/20. I'm coming home for either a week in august or coming home for a month in september.

SS line. lol

 

Yes, but will you have it tuned by then?

 

I can get it road tuned in a few hours, and hopefully electronic boost control will work. Once I get it running, I just have to get it on a dyno and I have 2 places in mind...then I can probably franticly call BEGi and drive down there for tuning.

 

Yes, the CAS, the pic is just to illustrate the basic idea, that's why I would test fittment before cutting and welding anything...You can place the feed anywhere really and make it as long as you want to.

 

you need to make the lead for the heater core on the engine side of the thermostat, or it will never be hot. No one seems to understand this concept.

 

That, and you'll also have virtually no circulation of coolant through the engine when the thermostat is closed.

 

A 1/8th hole should take care of that, no?

 

hency my problem with the begi reroute.

 

Congrats Man!

 

I'm trying to think positive about this deal, but I'm still ******* terrified of the impending reliability disaster.

 

Looks good. Am i mistaken or did one of the pictures show the 1.8 in?

 

Not yet. I have to do some work to this thing myself.
Its shiney and pretty...so it will go faster:

 

re: coolant route
Since you're running MS you can use the fan thermo switch port/bung as your heater core source. Just overbore and rethread - did the same on my FE. Then just put a port on the reroute pipe that runs from the back of the head the rad. This is similar to what brgTom did with his- drilled a new hole pre tstat and threaded it.

 

I always said "when Hell freezes over, I'll ski there too." Atleast there's some headway now, so when you get back into town, John and I will help ya w/ the trash to get this thing trackin' ASAP.

 

I may get pulled down to San Antonio in a couple weeks on a priority assignment. Now I just have to get home, piece the car together, then drive it to BEGi for tuning...if I end up going. I can't seem to get a break on work.

 

any tips on getting a freeze plug out? I might just get a barb fitting and make a plate to house both the sensor and the heater core bung.

 

use a screwdriver and a hammer to knock it sideways in the hole, then you can yank it out with plyers.

 

that looks NICE

 

With all Hustler's reliability paranoia, it'll look even better with a rod sticking out the side of the block.

Get r done man. You are going to love this boost thing everyone's talking about! Have my 1st boosted track days coming up next week and the week after. Let you know how it goes.
