101334, Motor in just a few pics Posted by pearlwhite2gnt, Jun-22-08 10:58 AM
Just thought I might post a few pics of the new motor installed. Just finishing up the little details Only got 35 miles on it so far. It was a long 1 year wait from Howell. Let me know what you think.


 Oil Block I installed for distributing oil to turbo, stock sending unit, and guage





 Its been awhile since I posted but hoping to get back into it a little now that I am settled in the house and car is running again. Mortgage payments are a bitch.

Wow, that's a great lookin bay! I like you heat shield, also - custom?

101338, RE: Motor in just a few pics Posted by pearlwhite2gnt, Jun-22-08 12:57 PM
yeah the shield is something I made after ruining a carbon hood. Turned it yellow right in the center. So I had to deflect some of that heat.

That is clean as hell. Looks great.
But that looks like a fresh oil spot on the bottom of your #4 runner under the manifold. Is it or just a glare of something?

yeah There was just a little oil from when I filled it. Didn't have a funnel and spilled just a little bit. Got it all cleaned up now though. Thanks for the input guys. It has been a while now and finally got it the way I wanted it. I just have to do the catch can lines and a breather setup for the catchcan. Now if I could just get it to run worth a crap.

very clean, nice work.
But i did notice 2 things i am alittle curious about, one i see your fuel line comes off of the main fuel rail(your venom rail) then crosses over to you secondary fuel rail any reason you did that? Also if you are doing it like that are you planing moving you aeromotive then?

Im not a fan of Turbo'd 420As, but that is done very nicely. Looks good.

well I just wanted to keep everything neat and tight so I crossed over like that. The Line coming out of the secondary rail goes behind the manifold to the regulator.

101360, RE: Motor in just a few pics Posted by susafuss, Jun-23-08 05:41 PM
well i thats cool, it just seems like you are running the fuel lines alttle longer then needed...
when i did mine i took it of of the test port side of the stock rail then ran it right to the new rail then to the regulator.
![]() <\img> I just think that this is just a simpler way to run the line(note i shortened that line a lot it was just a test fit)
|
101361, RE: Motor in just a few pics Posted by pearlwhite2gnt, Jun-23-08 06:17 PM
yeah but the stainless line doesn't like to bend that easy, so the use of the 150 and 180 degree fittings made it work perfect. a little longer then needed but fit perfect.

101364, RE: Motor in just a few pics Posted by susafuss, Jun-24-08 11:21 AM
Ahh i totally understand then, never really thought of that. Keep up the good work.

I got all of them from ebay believe it or not. I just found one of the sellers that had a store and got everything I thought I needed and saved on shipping. I ended up needing a few things after the fact as always, but I got them local. As for the battery terminals They are just Phoenix Gold terminals for 1/0 guage wire. I then put a small distribution block under the battery to tie all the factory wiring in. Here is a pic of the whole car for whoever asked for it. Also thanks again for the feedback.
