Tore the motor down to prep it for the final mainfold today.

Tapped the rear steamports for 1/8" NPT Fragola plugs

Manifold on

Billet Tensioner pulley

Waterjet accessory brackets for alternator and power steering pump

Installed the injectors with the new o rings

Bought 2 -4 90* to connect the steam ports to the waterpump. I used 1/4" braided fuel line but also bought some steel braided to redo it if necessary.

Welded up my new throttle cable bracket

All together..Need to plug the injector plugs in and rewire 1 sensor.

Cable mount painted...

I may ACTUALLY finish my shroud tomorrow, lol

So, my New new Ls2 manifold showed up...

This one has been ported extensively to give anywhere from 12-22whp throughout the powerband..


On the motor...looks so clean to me..New stainless fuel rail looks really good as well.

Since the LS2 uses a throttle-by-wire TB and my new TB is cable driven, I needed to make a bracket to hold the cable.

Not welded:

My adapter kit for the Ls1 injectors to be used with the Ls2 fuel rail showed up. This spaces the rail up using billet spacers because the ls1 injectors are taller, and a new o-ring so that the injectors seat properly in the Ls2 manifold.

Cleaned up my radiator since its been fixed.

First was to clean off the overspray

Ls1 vs Ls2 intake manifold...

damn dude, cant wait for the wheels to be officially mounted! over fenders for the rears right?

yeah the ones i posted on my buddies car

those wheels seem heavy! Stop eating out and drive more! Seat time=wins without spin outs!

they are, but this car has plenty of torque. Overlook the initiation on the wall and the 90* transition just to focus on the spin at the end when i was messing around. cool. Seat time isnt an issue

[Rob&co]

Me...watch the tansition.

Dad thinks it was "actually really good." :|

Yesterday I got the new rear tires mounted on the 10.5j's. 245/35 hankook v12. If you remember, these were the tires i had on my rx7 while it was being built.

The homie josh

They look perfect in my opinion, but I'll let the pics do the talking.

That camber difference though...sexy

I bought SS sockethead bolts for the centercaps too, and polished them to match :3

Them on the car..

I also bought a ported LS2 intake manifold. It will supposedly add over 15whp over a stock LS2 manifold, and the new LS2 is much better than the stock LS1 manifold. I'm hoping for 30hp

Blake was this at VegasDrift? BTW have you seen or heard from buckey in the last couple days? So happy he is finally joining the club and going to have a reliable motor.

Yeah VD. I saw his car but he wasnt driving. I don't do much dealings with him anymore. He accused me of copying his car and some other stuff. so idk

jesus christ of diffusers...

Lol

your buddies 13 looks so boss

haha yeah its crazy

Looking good,, How did the car feel? Is there any vid from the event yet?

Thanks, it felt really good. Car was really snappy on transition and predictable. I cant wait to run it with good rear tires. I need to upload the vids from my dads phone tho lol
