Update on the Headers,wideband,chrome ecu, IMR intake plenum and 90mm Q45 tb

Would be done with it already if my intake manifold would get here soon. Should be this week. Then will be headed for a tune for now. Then ill sit down and learn Chrome. Have the software and tactrix cable w.adapter for the tune. Wideband is wired into the ecu. Just need the manifold to finish

 

Looking good! I am not familiar with the intake or TB you mentioned. I guess I will need to do some digging.

oh yea got more pics. Im not familiar with the intake manifold either. IMR is having to fabricate a 1-off intake manifold due to a website issue and the one they were selling wasn't the one i bought so they took down my specs like q45 flange in oem location, Short runners, Circular surge tank, Its supposed to be very similar to the dynamic racing one.

Took her to the IFO in chandler. Didnt expect to win anything i enter the competition just to be involved.

 

So heres the main body of the new CAI im going to fab up for the TB

And an OMP wheel i picked up at the IFO that i'm installing for the hell of it.

 

Figured id drop an update and a pic.Installed the intake manifold and the 90mm TB a while back and It was totally worth the wait. Only slight problem is i have traction issues all over the place now. With the solid engine mounts and the abrupt response it does beat you up a bit on take off. Its a riot. Now on to the next mod. Im able to grab either some BC cams and get the head build done (Cams,Gears,uodated lifters,3sx Hi-rev springs and retainers,P&P,+1mm oversized valves) or grab a Quaife lsd. Nothings been bought yet. Suggestions on whether to go for cams or the lsd? Both will ultimately be done just a matter of which one to do first.

Picked up a set of evo 10 wheels as well. And recently fitted new tires.

 

got some in-process pics as well.
Wideband install, OMP wheel in, Widebands plugged into the Chrome ecu and re-scaled the sensor.

. short drive video right after the install.

 

Another update. Collecting parts for the top-end build. BC Cams, Springs/retainers, Adjustable cam gears, Ferrea +1mm valves, new valve seals and a P&P. Starting with Bc Stage 2+ cams and their chromoly springs/retainers @93 lbs seat pressure.

 

Update: These made it in today. Still need +1mm supertech valves, Headgasket, And headstuds (going for 12.5:1 bottom end after the top end build).

 

Update: Been Waiting a Long time to get these In. A set of 12.5:1 pistons, Brian crower BC625 Rods and a Fidanza Aluminum flywheel. Going to start pulling the engine And disassembling it for the Build. There's a couple things left I wanna do ,but I can get all that done during the Build. A set of solid lifters, 3sx Fuel rails and 650cc Injectors. Builds Getting spicy .

 

Also Forgot to add all these parts in for the build as well lmao. A full set of Ferrea competition plus +1mm intake and exhaust valves. And supertech viton valve stem seals. So yea its a full top to bottom engine build along with a full head port and polish. Pistons are .040 oversized. And going to port and polish the entirety of the intake manifold. And if i can manage it i'm Reworking the intake manifold to something along the lines of this for more power up top.

 

So pulled the engine to begin the build. Go it torn down atm. Going to Need a bit of machine work for the pistons and i'm porting&polishing the heads/intake manifolds in the meantime.
Heading to Orlando for a vacation haven't had 1 in like 8 years. Once i'm back sending the block and heads to get the machine work done. Mostly boring for .040 for the pistons, Valve job for the Ferrea valves, Balancing the crank, Trueing the head&block. Then on to reassembly.

 

Build update post: Got the heads ported and polished. Took the block to the machine shop along with the new bottom end. It's getting Cleaned, Bored,Honed,Decked,Freeze plugs swapped out. The crank is being polished and balanced to the new bottom end (12.5:1 pistons, bc625 rods,Fidanza alumnium flywheel). Heads will be dropped off on monday to have the new +1mm valves fitted, New valve guides installed, And decked.

 

Ported and polished the lower intake manifold in preparation to make a new manifold.

 

Picked up a set of these for the interior. Also getting harnesses and a 6-point cage since this will be seeing track time ocassionally.

 

So got an update. Got the heads and crank back from the machinist. Crank got turned .25mm or .010in and rebalance with the new bottom end. Heads were resurfaced and had the new +1mm valves, bronze valve guides, BC hi-rev springs ,titanium retainers, and supertech stem seals installed so full valve job and resurface. Cost for the machine work was $1000 .$720 for the heads and $300 for the crank.

 

Images are not wanting to upload from my phone 😂..

 

Ok quite a lot more updates to post. Engine has been completely assembled and dropped in. Now installing it in the car.

Swapped out the oem Timing pully with the non-adjustable one after this photo was taken. Came off a 2001-2004 kia optima v6. And new idler puller.

Still need to Put the trans in, Then drop the rear motor mount to get the longtubes back on the studs..Yea should caught that while dropping it in but I didnt. Got a set of deatschewerks 550cc injectors in and a warlboro 255 lph fuel pump installed. Need to get the flex fuel sensor installed, But atm finishing up getting the engine primed then buttoned up. And yea did the Piston-valve clearance using some clay. Kind of a pain having to reassemble the engine twice, but oh well.

 

If anyone wants to know here is the parts list that went into the engine and atleast some of the specs

neat!

 

. Waiting on the manual steering rack. Then shes driveable again.

 

Update: Fixed some oil leaks going on with the oil pan near the oil filter housing and rear main crank seal housing. She just needs a tune now, seems to be running good regardless.

Posting up a test drive video. caveat: My go pro doesnt have good picture quality lol. Gotta get the adapter for my JVC camera to mount it to my roll cage.

Even in its current state she pulls HARD. Can kind of get an idea in the video by how far the front squats when you back off the throttle. Drive starts at 7:53. Time stamp provided in the pinned comment.

Re-sealing the oil pan. To get the engine tuned.

Roll bar install.

 

 

So updates: Installed a breton performance 6g75 holley intake adapter. Modified the oem waterneck to clear the intake plate. Converted to speed density through the SDT, Going to purchase a haltech Ecu with a premium harness and going stand alone. So got rid of any intake restrictions. Also Going to a local custom ITB shop and looking to get a custom 3x3 itb manifold and ditching the intake plenum for downdraft ITB's. New Ecu should make it all possible to get tuned. Had the Ecu fairly tuned but going SDT really threw off the tune so effectively at square 1 again. Sdt is almost impossible to find its matching comport on my tablet to tune it. So that plus convinient timing I'm opting for a standalone ecu should solve this issue and future mods.

 

have you look into modifying the VQ ITB kit from OBX? the bore spacing are the same between the VQ and 6G7x. one person has done on a 6G75 MIVEC

 

Also picked this thing up over the last year and immediately had to fix some stuff lol. Got it for cheap because of quarter panel damage and on the first drive home the carbon hood flew up (most likely because no hood pins were installed because it gave no warning until after the carnage). Smashing the windshield, some roof damage, Broken driver side mirror and obviously the hood being torn to shreds. Then Later managed to yank the throw-out bearing from the pressure plate on a quick 2-3 shift and had to replace the clutch master cylinder as it was leaking at the firewall. So replaced and re-painted the hood and various other fixes. Still gotta fix the quarter panel..Currently on the 3000gt once thats settled im going back to fixing the original damage from being pit manuevered by the cops lol.

 

Also installed a new quaife qdh7b Helical lsd. Quite a learning experience since never installed an LSD before. Would probably take 20 minutes now after ive done the first one lol.

 

Image Gallery | Imagine Injection Inc. heres a link to these local gys that deal in custom itb manifolds. Theyre usual forte is old american V8's, But an engine is an engine, might be able to convince these guys to build an ITB manifold for my car. And they carry haltech ecu's on hand so good excuse to go there int he first place lol.
