starter was dead, gave me a reason to buy the much much much smaller 3400 starter... still need to prime the engine, headers need made still so it will be fired up with stock manifolds on it. pretty much ready to be started though... just needs to go back in the car.. then the cam can get broken in...i have most of the bolts i need, almost all my AN fittings/lines... just getting down to some small stuff (rad,FMHE+a2w IC,new clutch line, headers/crossover, and some small wiring stuff for my wbo2 and EBC :thumbleft: )
once in and started, i will begin the 7730 ecm swap, so hopefully that wont be too bad. will start will a 2bar map sensor, then hopefully with some help from sinster, we can get a 3 bar in there and working...
hello 29psi! :afrocool:

ok, scrapping the 7730 ecu and going with an Haltech E6K setup, should be here next week.
Also scraping the custom headers and going with FOCOA headers and a custom crossover, also should here next week...
gonna work on the car a little today, finish putting in new clutch line, coolant tube... maybe start wiring thhe WBo2 up,doubtful...
engine is primed, ready to be put in and fired up... maybe this week, again, doubtful because im lazy...
Who knows,
for fun, anyone want to guess how much power this will put to the ground? 7.2CR with 29psi, best flowing iron heads, best flowing intake for iron heads(trueleo with ported lower, bored fiero TB), haltech with a good tune and a 3" downpipe, no cats/mufflers

Well, car didnt start due to no spark... tore out the harness in prep of the haltech E6K, staring that this weekend.
Painted the roof gloss black... dont mind the paint on the windshield, cracked anyway so getting a new one once the car is road worthy...
FOCOA headers and crossover... custom crossover for the turbo obviously will be needed, no the list for this weekend
Modified the radiator bracket and this will the the FMHE and radiators final placement... i have a silcone reducer coming to fix the problem of a 1.75" outlet
Waiting for rockcrawls brackets... NEW calipers wih porterfield R4-S pads
Pile-o-shit
Oh noes...look at this stablemate (not mine, my brothers)... also note the VQ35 short block... anyone interested? crate motor with ARP rod bolts, FWD block
