My EM1 build/rebuild.

[BlueSiclone]

I'm completely lost, do what about a retractable license plate frame??

It's a Greddy TD05H-18G Turbo, and it was just running on the injectors that came with the kit, 310cc.

I have a question posted in the forced induction thread but I can prolly find out here faster. When pulling the motor, I checked the #'s and it turns out it's a diff motor!!! #'s don't match, so obviously I'm not worried bout the bottom end since that's getting worked on, my worries are in the head.

My question is, with having no knowledge of how old/# of miles on the motor, should I do a valvetrain or should I upgrade the fuel delivery?? (255lph, FPR and I'm thinkin 750cc's)

My previous question also still remains...Can't think of a vanity plate idea....

Valvetrain, your current fuel setup is good for now.

 

[BlueSiclone]

yeahhh i'll b ok lol but I do need sum plate ideas...the injectors I have got me to bout 240 whp...u really think I shuld go valvetrain?? That's wut I've been thinkin...my buddy keeps sayin fuel delivery

 

[Ej8Kid]

Either way your going to need a tune. Maybe get that 255lph then valvetrain then the rest of the fuel setup.

 

[BlueSiclone]

def getting a tune, actually excited, don't think my last tune was as good as it coulda been...inline pro will def get it right!!

 

[BlueSiclone]

Talked to Inline Pro yesterday and worked out a SWEET ASS DEAL!! The wife is off at a bachelorette party tonight and the boy will be with his grandmother, got nothin but time tonite!! My brother and I will be in the garage until it's ready to go to the shop. Will be taking it to Springfield on tuesday, 10-15 business days later it'll be ready for install!!! Got some work to do in the next 3 weeks lol

I'm hoping they can give me a little more info on my turbo, there just doesn't seem to be any good info out there on my setup so I have NO idea what kinda pwr to hope for when it comes back..guess we shall see!!!

Question tho, not necessarily something I will be spendin $$ on now but I do wanna lighten the car up some once the power is in it. Where are the good deals on OEM body pieces?? Trunk will go carbon fiber so really just bumpers I guess...

 

[Ej8Kid]

If you like the body kit look, check out the Backyard Special front bumpers, a OEM Grill actually fits on it.

Not mine but you get the idea.

And will it be a track car or daily driver?

You might also like a rear diffuser, but it would look funny on a daily driver.

 

[BlueSiclone]

Won't quite be a DD and won't quite be a track car....its my 3rd car so it will kinda be my fun thing...the front piece looks alright, not too big a fan of the diffuser...I've been a body kit kinda guy since about 1999, but now that she's getn some good power I want to refine it out. My wants to change the kit have NOTHING to do with how it looks, I like the car the way it looks, but I could stand to lose some of the unnecessary weight...not that it is a whole lot but it wont hurt

besides, I'll sell my pieces and use the $ for somethin usefull...

 

[BlueSiclone]

Sooo, I got the motor to Inline Pro yesterday and I lurnt me something.

Tom, shop manager and cool guy, says he wants to come out and take a quick look at it. As soon as he sees it goes "Oh a GSR head". I said "whaaa???"

Sure enough, P72...a GSR head..had no F'n clue lol So now I'm in research mode trying to see what this actually means to me. From what I've seen it actually is a bit better to run boost in so that's def a plus. Anyone else that may know a lil sumthin def lemme know but I'll keep doin my lookin around.

Motor will be back in 2-3 weeks, got a lot of work to do in the mean time...New pics will be up as I get some s**t done.

 

[2slo4u]

b16 head flows little bit better, but no really big difference
im using the gsr head

is that a skunk2 1 series then?

 

[TigBitties]

im excited for where this is going!!! the talk of gsr, turbo, and lots of work ahead excites me!!! in a non homo way

 

[BlueSiclone]

is that a skunk2 1 series then?

Not really sure what you are asking me there...

To be honest, I have no idea what is going on in this car anymore!!! (other than the fact I got cornhole pounded with this car)

They are going to call me as soon as they get it pulled apart (prolly friday or so) and lemme know what they see.

I'm going to take a look at the trans to see if it is a b16 or not. Anyone know how I will tell the difference??

 

[BlueSiclone]

im excited for where this is going!!! the talk of gsr, turbo, and lots of work ahead excites me!!! in a non homo way

OH I'm excited too!!! The problem is, I can't tell if it's homo or not hahaha

Yeeaaahhh...I'm just hoping I'll have enuff $ for fuel delivery so I can crank dat boost!

 

[TigBitties]

I hope you have enough money too! and i hope i got enough that i can get off my ass and start building too. I got it all planned out, just im getting the car ready to handle it first. lol and is it homo to excited about cars? i say no way. plus if we name cars, they tend to get girl names, therefore its straight. Now ask the gf or wife that, she may say different

 

[BlueSiclone]

I have found that it's best not to tell them your car's name lol

"Where did you get that name?? Is that who you go see when you're out in it or something?" lol

This build is pressin the budget hard...I HAVE to get tires too...Doesn't look like the fuel delivery will be coming, buttttttt it's not over yet!!!!

 

[TigBitties]

lol true true. they always jump to there being another woman in your life. besides your momma. but yes. tires are very important, you gotta put this power to the ground. you better start working some O.T.!!!!

 

[TigBitties]

does this exist anymore?

 

[BlueSiclone]

lol Yes this does exist. Actually just picked the motor up from Inline Pro on the 26th but been wayyy too busy at work to accomplish anything!!!

I'm hoping to start gettin to work on it next week since I should have a bit more free time!!

Motor looks gooooooood n clean!! I'll try and get some pics up asap!!

Thanks for keepin up with me!! Make me get this s**t done!

 

[TigBitties]

lol no problem! GET THIS DONE! it will definately be worth the late nights to see your hardwork pay off
