Back to the build....

I finally got the tranny rebuilt by my tuner. he integrated an upgraded/coated/stronger 3rd, 4th, 5th gear with the same gear ratio. Good stuff from Gear Speed. I painted the housing to match the motor paint:

thermal · 05-10-2005, 07:59 PM

I made my own catch can from some left over 3 inch piping. I also incorporated a dipstick from an old motor I had laying around:.

thermal · 05-10-2005, 08:00 PM

thermal · 05-10-2005, 08:03 PM

I have about 98% of the parts to get the motor running. The only problem now is that I'm going to be out to sea... navy stuff.... for 3 weeks. Once I get back, I will drop the motor in and refabricate a few charge pipes and mate my DP and exhaust system.

Mischief · 05-10-2005, 08:03 PM

that's a big fking catch can jesus

thermal · 05-10-2005, 08:04 PM

lol.... not really man. The GReddy catch cans are wayyy bigger...:o

ShEaNy · 05-12-2005, 02:27 PM

looking good man...

Mischief · 05-12-2005, 09:45 PM

well from the catch can I saw on the guy that lives up the street on me.. he has a SRT4 and is alot smaller than that.. and my cousin's GST has an even smaller one..

BlackEJ · 05-15-2005, 02:09 PM

damn arnel good looking tranny you got there mang, nice work on that catch tank.
Hey bro holla @ ur boy!!!!!!

thermal · 05-16-2005, 09:37 PM

Yep. Just about too big to be used anywhere. I found that out the hard way on the Eclipse....

Nice job on the catch can.

thermal · 05-27-2005, 11:05 AM

Yeah, the only aftermarket one I would buy is the Moroso version...

Mischief · 05-27-2005, 04:45 PM

therm when you getting home so we can see the finished product?

thermal · 05-28-2005, 06:50 AM

I'll be back early June. Then the install begins. I still have to put my braking system together also.....

BlackEJ · 05-28-2005, 08:46 AM

Hey bro so what are you using for stoppers with this new set up?
Spoon, Brembo, wilwood maybe!!!!!

thermal · 05-29-2005, 04:59 PM

I'm not gonna upgrade the calipers yet. I'm looking at a set of Rotora xdrilled/slotted or Brembo xdrilled. The pads are barely used. I'm also thinking about redoing the whole brake hydraulic system..... redo all the tubing cuz the stock looks like a big clustrofuk.....:o

thermal · 06-05-2005, 06:51 PM

I have a feeling that I will be switching to AEM EMS. Just really depends on what my contact wants to do........

thermal · 06-12-2005, 09:17 PM

Finally had time to drop the motor in:

thermal · 06-12-2005, 09:22 PM

I dropped the motor in within 2 hours. I installed the.clutch/FW/tranny myself and a friend helped a little bit.

The only problem now is that it looks like I will have to refab to reposition my old piping to compensate for a bigger turbo and intake manifold. Too bad that i also have to redo my down pipe again cuz I overlooked the clutch slave cylinder bleed valve being on the way. It's okay tho. It shouldnt take me too long to redo the DP.

Gonna get the motor started sometime during the week......

AkimboStylee · 06-12-2005, 09:43 PM

looks good

JDMFantasy2k · 06-12-2005, 09:52 PM

that motor makes me wet

Sivik · 06-12-2005, 11:29 PM

excellent work

thermal · 06-13-2005, 03:32 PM

Gonna continue Tuesday. I should be able to complete all the piping by night time.......

Mischief · 06-13-2005, 04:55 PM

I'm jealous... If you're ever looking to trade that in for a stock LS let me know, I have a deal lined up for you

thermal · 06-14-2005, 09:11 PM

starting to look like a car....

just readjusted the DP and DT

thermal · 06-14-2005, 09:13 PM

I also relocated the radiator bottom support and had it positioned to as far to the left as possible

Mischief · 06-14-2005, 09:48 PM

you should order a JDM front end while it's all apart like it is

just kidding, sexy as ever.. I can't wait till you get it on the dyno

*pdiggitydogg* · 06-16-2005, 05:34 PM

Not putting a cover on the cam gears??

GT40FIED · 06-16-2005, 06:59 PM

Damn Arnel...bad ass pics. Do you mind if I just dry hump your car for a while?

thermal · 06-16-2005, 08:15 PM

Pat,
Nope, I will not be putting a cover on the cam gears. I wanted to, but my timing is already half a tooth off as it is since the head was milled. My tuner also told me to leave it open since he will be messing around with the cam gear timing......

Steve,
Go on right ahead bro...... lol

dabouncerx24 · 06-25-2005, 07:23 PM

Dude nice car. Whats the total cost of everything by now? $96000?

thermal · 06-26-2005, 02:05 AM

^more than double of the blue book value of the car itself....... ............................ atleast

dabouncerx24 · 06-26-2005, 01:12 PM

So give us an expected finish date for the beast.

thermal · 06-26-2005, 05:01 PM

End of august. It should terrorizing the streets by then.....

dabouncerx24 · 06-27-2005, 12:48 PM

That long? Thought you already put the engine in there. Whats the expected HP output? 500 to the wheels?

JDMFantasy2k · 06-27-2005, 01:09 PM

hey arnel do you have slicks for it too? should be impressive on slicks

thermal · 06-27-2005, 03:59 PM

dabouncer, there is one thing you do not know bro. I'm in the Navy and I wont be back until late July. Trust me mang, I'd like to get this car back on the street as soon as possible

JDM, I do plan on running slicks, if I ever go to the track.
