I honestly thought JayRome would come across as having a slight mental defect considering the crazyness of the car

 

Very well articulated, i liked the interview - well done mate, its a testament to you (and your undiagnosed disease).

finally getting to enjoy driving this around to meets and just anywhere really... 

2200cc injectors idle like stock on e85

 

Also found out my fuel cell is fairly big... E85, tune is average, did 135km and gauge says i used just under 1/4 tank (also cruise control helps)

Its been a while... small update:

 

Old gauge setup:

 

New gauges Innovate and Autometer

 

Flex fuel sensor for Gauge and future flex tuning

 

RPM gauge adaptor: Previously running  stock vr4/dsm original ignition system with dummy load to get my RPM gauge to work with Evo7 ecu with COP, but now have figured out simple electronics to work without needing other parts. And it will fit in a relay case.

Stock ignition:

Test: 

Final product: 

 

Few photos from last meet before the virus thing hit..

Pressure testing... found a leak, should have rebuilt it when i bought it many years ago

 

 

 

Need to remember to empty my muffler water more offten (yeah e85 can suck when you dont drive the car enough)

 

 

 

Cut off a hotdog to see how it would sound.... still not loud.. Got bored and added a dumpy tip from left over bends from other jobs..

 

 

 

 

Alloy cover to tie in the 6bolt lower cover. Later model head does not have mounting points below the cam gears for timing cover. So at times the timing cover can flex and touch the cam gears.

It has been 10 years or so since i installed the reverse head for shits and giggles, was a budget build so reusing valves and springs etc was the go. Probably time I rebuild the head properly.

 

Super Tech valves

BC springs

Switched from HKS 272 to GSC S1

 

 

Checked over the pistons and rings

 

 

Finally got rid of this useless bracket thats been stuck their for a while (power steering pump bracket, replaced with elec-hydraulic pump)

 

 

Scrap alloy catch can, plumbed back into intake pipe, 2 stage filtering/seprating

Front Viscous LSD re oil...

 

 

 

seeing if i can re oil the VCU

 

 

[jack be nimble]

Interesting as always!

[JayRome]

Got sick of the power steering whine on long drives, finally moved the pump further away from the fire wall.

Routed the hotside pipe around the power steering pumps new location.

Can't hear it in the car anymore.
