That is one good looking engine and the parts list is great! Nice looking car by the way-very understated looking and I mean that in a good way.

Thanks! But I forgot to mention it has a 4" cowl hood now too. Not as understated looking now. :(

Heres a shot of the underside.

She's running! Holley HP system is very easy to use! I'll have pictures tomorrow! I've only put 1 mile on it so far. It hasn't completely earned my trust yet. I'll just be driving around the block a couple times before I take it too far from home.

blunierdr 12-09-2012 07:58 PM

Re: Glamour shot
 
Glad to hear you have it running! Hopefully everything keeps going smoothly. I'm interested in that Holley ECM for my upcoming project.

Holley HP ECM is great. But it was expense for everything ( ECM. harnesses, O2S, Laptop)
But I really think I was the right way to go. Tomorrow I have to finish the timing and put the block off plate in the passenger tip of my Borla system. It's super loud. I wish it wasn't raining out. I'd really like to drive it more.

Looks like we have pretty similar setups, think it will be ready for atco soon? Opens next week.

Also your pcv system is installed wrong. Thats a fresh air port on the tb that needs a cap, plumb it to one of the fittings on the back or under the plenum on the HSR

I don't completely understand why I can have it in the TB? Am I missing something?

Actually that port pulls and pretty strong vacuum, Maybe not full manifold vacuum, but it has decent vacuum.

Re: Glamour shot
 
I hope to. I'd like to see 400/425 to the wheels.
Tomorrow I have an oil leak to deal with. Im 75% sure its the distributor gasket, it didnt start leaking until I R&R'd it

How are those Etec heads?!?!? You need a 4th gen spoiler to match your hood.

The heads are great! Very well priced too.

Accroding to the ad,

"I've had trouble with getting it to seal my E-Tec 210 heads that are 1206 gasket size.
Its stock, unported."

conlinj 03-14-2013 10:06 AM

Re: Glamour shot
 
Werd, I've heard the recent HSR's had enough material to port out to 1206, the early ones need metal.

Out of curiosity can you post up the casting date? It may help some others in the future.

Killert 03-14-2013 10:12 AM

Re: Glamour shot
 
Sure ill post the date when I get home. It probably has enough metal, I dont really want to deal with having to get it ported. Im gonna call TPIS and see if they'll sell a 1206 matched miniram

Killert 03-14-2013 11:35 AM

Re: Glamour shot
 
I just ordered up a TPiS MiniRam with a fuel rail kit. Ported for 1206 gaskets. Should be here sometime next week and my GM performance distributor will be here today. My MSD 8366 is for sale too. 200$ shipped, No cap or rotor
