Amazing..one of the best threads to his this forum in a long time...Very clean and very long running..and it ended well! I cant wait till all you guys break in those motors and we see the fruits of all your work...Congrats
 
Sweet man. Hood doesn't fit for s*** though huh? I suppose you did the best you could given APC. Can we see some pics of how your exhaust goes out being on the side like that? Does it wind back down to go under the engine in the stock location or what?

I have to push inthe fenders yet, but you are correct, a bit weak on the fitment...

The Pipe goes under... Here is an old picture...

There is 300 Km on the engine...

Time for the first oil change then :)

New/rebuilt motor = Oil change at 100-150 miles, 800 miles, 2500-3000 miles and then at 6,000 miles. With a new filter every time.

I changed both before the car rolled a foot.

Run up to temp and cooled off 3 times then did a swap when it was hot.

I'll swap at 1000 and bump the boost to 10 for a bit...
 
When is Dyno Day at KVR BTW? I'm getting my FMIC in this week, but the wideband, datalogger and DP won't be here for another 7-10 days or so.

Any idea what your oil pressure is at idle? I'm just curious to reference mine against other peoples' I'm at about 50 psi at idle.
