Thanks for the comments all. It's really coming down to the wire. Everything is installed, tomorrow is tuning, a shakedown drive to make sure everything was fixed and functioning correctly, and delivery in the afternoon. I wanted to grab it in the morning, but they will still be finishing it.

The first pics are of the HFC. The image of the piece on my car is a HFC as well. So I sent it back to Motordyne and the sent back a resonator which are the latest images in the post. I'm for sure gonna take vids and pics. Hoping this is finally the end of of the FI journey.

Sorry to dissappoint but it is delayed another week. They are paying my rental this week but it's not what I want. This is the final week I'm willing to give. They've had it long enough to fix anything. They should have forseen this before I even came home (meth recommendation and fan problem). During tuning, one of the pulley bearings went and it's causing them to take some things apart. If it were anything other than a mechanical failure, is be grabbing it. I'm pretty upset right now to say the least.

Yeah... It's pretty sucky. I had just started driving out to go there and I called. I was soooo ready to pick her up. I do have something to help keep my mind off of it though I built my Wife a new PC. Corsair C70 case in military green, Asus Sabertooth Z87 board, Intel 4770K, Corsair Vengeance 2133 ram, 128gb Corsair Force GS SSD, 750W Corsair PSU, Corsair H100i, 1TB Western Digital drive, Enermax white fans with white LED's and metal casing with Enermax logo stenciled in, and two MSI GTX 560ti's with Twin Frozr II heatsinks I pulled from my computer. I'll post a few pics later. I need to order a white LED strip to get a bit more lighting inside. Ran me $1500 without buying new GPU's. Expensive, but not too bad considering the top notch parts used.

I'm building mine as well. But I'll be using an Asus Maximus VI Hero and GSkill Trident 2400 ram. PSU is a Coolermaster 1kw gold rated and modular... I also prefer custom watercooling in the CPU. 4770K's run hot as hell, so serious cooling is needed. I plan on running at least one 780. Not sure if I'm gonna run a GPU cooling loop. Also orderd a Gskill 240gb SSD. Gonna do a red white and black theme.

If anyone wants a 4ghz 980x based pc with 560ti's, 2000mhz Dominator ram @ 7-7-7-20 timings, pc power and cooling psu (older model), 60gb SSD, 2TB HDD and mountain mods bobslay v2 case lemme know. It black, red, and metal colors. Also have a 920 based system. Both use top quality parts. I'll post a for sale thing some time this week.

Dude... How long has it been now? I've pretty much followed since the day I heard it was being hauled away... that feels like forever ago (granted it probably feels much longer to you). Well when its all done hit me up and we'll grab a drink

Im sporting a Seasonic Platinum 1000 and an H100i water cooled CPU. My goal is a fully water cooled system down the road. but your build seems awefully close to mine. 2 SLId 780's and 120 SSD. White Case/White LEDs (tastefully done, and not too many of em)

Check out that PSU man. Best one out there hands down

Hi Firehawk - it's interesting that they had a pulley bearing go - that also happened to me on initial startup and I had to put a washer behind the bearing to provide some clearance between the bearing and the engine - once I got that sorted out (and put everything back together) - put about 100 miles on before the OEM fixed idler pulley began to squeak for the same reason - put a washer behind that one and it's been good since. I have about 1000 miles on it now including one track day & everything seems to be holding together pretty well. Still have more tuning to do which Sam is helping me with.
