Thanks man :)
Update 24-12-2012: Engine & Transmission are in! That purple manifold is slowly growing on me to be honest. What do you think? http://i451.photobucket.com/albums/q...p/DSCN0533.jpg Engine mounts looking good http://i451.photobucket.com/albums/q...p/DSCN0534.jpg Just can't get enough of this engine http://i451.photobucket.com/albums/q...p/DSCN0535.jpg Aftermarket swaybars shouldn't be a problem I guess http://i451.photobucket.com/albums/q...p/DSCN0537.jpg |
This is an awesome build! Are you planning to paint the car too? It would b a good time to do a colour change while the motor is out.
|
No plans on painting the car now to be honest, and let's just say the engine should be out again in summer haha
|
Damn Sam this is insane! Do you have this posted on myg37 too? If not I'll stay tuned on this over herrrrre
|
Yup it's on myG37 too man
Update 26-12-2012: Intercooler piping check! http://i451.photobucket.com/albums/q...227-WA0000.jpg Keeps getting tighter! (that's what she said) http://i451.photobucket.com/albums/q...227-WA0001.jpg http://i451.photobucket.com/albums/q...227-WA0002.jpg Tomei fuel rail and ID injectors are in place http://i451.photobucket.com/albums/q...227-WA0003.jpg Turbo oil feed http://i451.photobucket.com/albums/q...227-WA0004.jpg |
Cool project, but why would you do this if you said you didnt want to sell your kidney to fund a build this is a lot more than your standard VQ build.

In for more....do you plan to run OEM gauges (like spedo/rpm/etc. and A/C controls)?

Update 31-12-2012
My shift knob is here :D http://i451.photobucket.com/albums/q...pscdb8de74.jpg That sway bar is a little too close to what looks like an idler pulley, wonder if it can be relocated. Bummer I was hoping to go with thicker sways. http://i451.photobucket.com/albums/q...psc9f3f086.jpg Customized adapter for the clutch pedal http://i451.photobucket.com/albums/q...pscc1a79b9.jpg And another one for the accelerator http://i451.photobucket.com/albums/q...pse4d722ec.jpg Here's what it all looks like, will have to get the clutch pedal aligned later on! http://i451.photobucket.com/albums/q...ps1d1d64dd.jpg |
Update 08-01-2012:
Great news! The car was started to check for leaks, minor leak in the turbo oil feed was fixed and MAN did it sound like a monster. Stay tuned for video's ;) If everything goes as planned she should be going for ECU wiring & exhaust fabrication tomorrow. Fingers crossed. Here are some pics for now. Oil cooler is in http://i451.photobucket.com/albums/q...DSCN0573-1.jpg OEM wiring with ignition system http://i451.photobucket.com/albums/q...p/DSCN0574.jpg Pedals are in and functioning properly! http://i451.photobucket.com/albums/q...p/DSCN0579.jpg Close up on the accelerator pedal, was a b!tch to get right the mechanic tells me http://i451.photobucket.com/albums/q...p/DSCN0581.jpg |
Damn nice Sam.
|
Thanks Diego.. wiring and exhaust fabrication starts tomorrow! :D
