Thanks dude. I'm super excited. Lol And I had a front mount on my old setup just nowhere near as big or efficient as this is. Can't wait to see the side tanks finished finally With wastegate and BOV mounted.Quote:

I also picked this up from the same guy (a friend of mine)

i put together 3 of those S2K cluster swaps... pain in my ass lol
Wanna do mine? What all did you have to do as far as the ect fix and gas gauge and speedo?
Fmic is complete. Along with the charge piping.
We had to cut the supercharger outlet and weld on a cast 90* to get it to the back door of the fmic.
I didn't get the opportunity to take any pics but as soon as I get them I'll upload.
Also ordering the oil cooler Monday or tuesday so it will be in this week and installed upon arrival. Car can then fire up and do a few warm up procedures. An break ins. Then it's dyno time in about a week or 2. The build is finally nearing an end.
Wow Adam its been a wait for ya but I bet ya cant wait to get behind the wheel
Yea man. I has definitely been a wait. But it's coming along steadily now. I'm thankful for that. :upsidedownparty: :yay:Quote:

Can't wait till its all completed.
The FMIC is complete. Ordered the oil cooler on Tuesday should be here tomorrow. Along with another bottle of sx100 traction fluid. Most expensive oil ever. ($100/qrt) http://i823.photobucket.com/albums/z...x/0f441e07.jpg

If all goes well the car should hit the dyno next week!!!! Get ready!
Sick! And by traction fluid, is that a traction compound like pimp juice? Because $100 a quart just made my eyes pop. :wow:
Lol. It's the only thing the rotrex can take. It's transmission fluid basically but a special blend I guess. And yes 100 bucks for 1 qrt. But the good thing is, normal applications only use one and the oil change interval is every 50k so not bad right? LolQuote:

Right dude. It's crazy lol.
The oil cooler has been mounted in place. Oil lines to be ran on Monday and warm up procedures to follow. Then it's dyno time!

Wow Adam you just cant get a break on this thing man .I hope they get the blower straightened out for ya man as you must have more patience than anyone I know as I am not sure how i may have reacted to such news lol i hope to see ya at the car show this coming weekend in oc
what happened to the blower(turbo)??
Yea man it has been a rough ride. All in all I think it's gonna be worth it. I'm satisfied with johns work, and I'm just as positive ill feel the same about the tune.Quote:

The blower impeller is scraping the housing when 2 bracket bolts get tightened. It's very strange but I will figure it out. Or I will just email Rotrex and see what I can do.Quote:

It's been raining like crazy lately over on this side of the bridge. And yea a sleeved block would give you some piece of mind and a nice insurance. I've got some hurdles to get over with this build now and the she'll be on her way to glory. I'll be seeing you around more once the cars done. Some nice ocean trips are in store.Quote:

I guess but I untorqued and returned back to spec to see if it made a difference and no. I did not. That doesn't mean it was not over torqued once before and just not has a Lyon issue with that but I contacted the company and they gave me a way around it I guess. So we'll see what happens in a few short days.Quote:
