Thanks, Rusty! I'll have a look...I was definitely seeing detonation before it went. By the way, what do you think of the FI Long Tube Headers? I'm looking to put them on the replacement engine...

I've had the coated FI LTH's since they first came out. Never had issues with them yet.

I can get this fuel cut with only 3 gallons from a full tank, so my recommendation would be to top off every session!

I've been talking with Rob at Z Car and he has some cool ideas about what we can do with the car. Will post up details soon!
Awesome bro! my best wishes to your new engine build and thanks for the recommendation

Well, not having a car sucks, especially when my friends are out at the track this weekend! So I played Need For Speed and Project CARS, then I watched the Need For Speed movie, and then I decided to look through my track footage. Here's my fastest lap at Buttonwillow, 2:09.52, from the session before my engine blew:

Well, it's been six months, but we're in the home stretch!

The new engine is in and all that's left is to install all the goodies:


- Fast Intentions Long Tube Headers
- NISMO S-Tune Springs & Struts
- SPL Suspension
- CJMotorsports Road Race Pump
- CJMotorsports Billet Aluminum Oil Pan
- OSGiken Twin Plate Clutch
- OSGiken 1.5-way LSD



Can't wait to get back out on the track!

LOL, Wine Country Motorsports is running a 20%-off sale this weekend and it's got me eyeballing a cool-shirt!

Well, the car is done and has been on it's first break-in cruise:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEh-_T4TWZE

A *lot* has been done to it, so let's go over the list:
  • Rebello Racing VQ37VHR
  • - 11.5:1 Compression
  • - JE Pistons, K1 Rods, Forged Bottom-end, HR Bolts
  • - New Bare Block, Core Engine
  • Fast Intentions Long Tube Headers
  • Jim Wolf Technologies Exhaust Cams and Springs
  • - 263 Degrees, .446" Lift
  • CJ Motorsports Active Baffled Oil Pan
  • Stillen Gen3 Intake
  • Bassani Exhaust
  • OS Giken Twin-Plate Clutch
  • - External Slave Mod
  • - NISMO Finned Differential Cover
  • OS Giken 1.5-way SuperLock LSD
  • - 3.9 Final Drive Gears
  • - SPL Solid Differential Bushing
  • NISMO S-Tune Springs and Struts
  • Full SPL Suspension (Excluding Mid-Links)
  • - Front Upper Camber Arms
  • - Rear Camber Arms
  • - Eccentric Lockout Kit
  • - Front Outer Tie Rod Ends
  • - Front Lower Arm Bushings
  • - Front Impact Bushings
  • - Solid Rear Subframe Bushings
  • CJ Motorsports Road Race Pump
  • Bridgestone Potenza RE-71R - (245 Front, 285 Rear)







I've put 200 miles on it so far. Incredible power and torque, super crisp handling! The car feels like it's been carved from a solid piece of billet! I can't wait to get her on the track -- likely early next month, if not sooner!

Special thanks to Rob, Josh, and the rest of the crew at Z Car Garage for putting her back together! There'll be a blog post about the build up soon!

Coming very soon! Just need to get some more break-in mileage and an oil change before we put it on the dyno and tune for 100 octane!
