Forcefedhatch Posted May 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 Got this for the fuel lines near the exhaust bends, and for the spark plug boots since the gt40p heads were designed by a retard and have the plugs millimeters away from the exhaust portsGalaxy S4 Active Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forcefedhatch Posted May 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 Well.. I cut the sleeve into 9 equal pieces (4" each for those that didn't wanna do the math ;-).. 8 for the spark plugs.. then took the last one and cut it long ways down the center, reason being is I will be wrapping the fuel line section that I feel is too close for comfort and the clamping or zip tie it into placeGalaxy S4 Active Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forcefedhatch Posted May 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 Well.. finished the body work.. and dipped it today.. definitely not as easy as it seems.. mine looks rough up close.. but it will be peeled off in the fall for fresh paint this winter anywayThat and around noon the heat started setting in and drying the dip nearly before it hit the car.. it it was in the 70's.. Instead of high 80's.. would have turned out baller!!Galaxy S4 Active Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SublimeRT Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 I guess it depends on the look you're going for. Flat black would be cool but a fresh Laser Red paint job is pretty kick ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forcefedhatch Posted June 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 It's ok.. 130k bottom end. . Most likely oil pump pooped out.. IL gonna try the pump, bearings, hone and rings.. and reassemble it.. but if it needs machined I guess I'll order pistons and go atleast a 306Galaxy S4 ActiveThe last fun ride before it got low pressure :-)http://youtu.be/aQMXmOz23BYGalaxy S4 Active Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SublimeRT Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 Ah man what a bummer. Like you said though hopefully it is just the pump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forcefedhatch Posted June 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 Yeah.. I don't see any cracks or oil galley plugs missing.. so most likely pump.. the only noises it made were valvetrain like always since the shitty cam went in.. I'm reinstalling the stock btw.. comp has had issues with their XE series cams making noise.. so I'm going back to the stock for drivable ty anyway.. the car didn't lose total oil.pressure either btw.. the gauge went to 0 on the dash but around 1500 rpm would return to normal.. I switched sensors and same thing, checked gauge. . All good.. so once I heard the valvetrain get louder and noticed as I primed the pump and unless I was full speed on my drill.. no oil circulated very well to the engine.. so I'd say just the pump went..Galaxy S4 Active Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forcefedhatch Posted June 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 It's a Gen 2 l67 m90 from a bonneville.lil small but it'll still give me the low end I want, and for 100.00.. I can't cry, but ill fab a bracket and piping for it.. It'll also be intercooled.. most likely hang it from the side of the bracketry, and it will probably take the place of the old AC pump.. and I'll add a tensioner pulley setup to it as well.. 5-6 psi, on an Intercooled roots blower.. this build is already a rare one.. may as well make it a 1 off lolGalaxy S4 Active Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
