https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cu1oaLHf1Y4 Progressively upping the boost. This was a shakedown on 12 psi trying to work on my afrs. Working on getting them back into the high 11s low 12s. Showing I'm using 61% on my z32 maf if I'm not mistaking thats around 300hp. Let me know what yall think. Advi...

It's been a while since I have updated this thread but the car is doing pretty well. Since the first startup until now I have made a few changes. - Made a custom 3" exhaust with a magnaflow 3" on the back due to my old exhaust hanging extremely low. - Bought a 9psi Tial wastegate spring. P...

Hey dudes haven't been on here in forever but I decided I would give some updates on my build. Setup remains the same http://www.ka-t.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=57654 I've got some idle issues that I can't seem to figure out but I am working on it other than that the car drives perfect. I just need...

I just purchased a 3an feed line for my holset and can't seem to find the correct fitting to make it work. I am looking for a 3/8x24 Male to a M12x1.5 Female to connect to my existing fitting on my turbo.

Searched summit, jeggs and earls for this certain fitting. Any suggestions?

As promised. http://img822.imageshack.us/img822/226/img20130129144636.jpg http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/3792/img20130129144727.jpg http://img594.imageshack.us/img594/6633/img20130129144853.jpg http://img819.imageshack.us/img819/5867/img20130129144906.jpg http://img577.imageshack.us/img577/9149/im...

Haven't posted or updated in quite sometime. Good news is I have been breaking the car in for a few weeks now. Everything is mostly good other than a small oil leak and I have noticed on start up I tend to get a little smoke which I believe is coming from my big turbo feed line caking extra oil in t...

Some long awaited updates. I have the car running and found out it was running on 3 cylinders. After pulling the #1 spark plug, it seems it hasn't gotten any fuel what so ever. The plug looks brand new compared to the other 3. Checked for spark and it is there which leads me to Injector #1. Right on...

Believe I ruled timing out. Checked for codes in the ECU and got code 11 , 12 and 21. I originally got a code 11 with my old distributor, bought a new one and still have the same code but the distributor never changed anything. I have always had code 12 since I had the ECU tuned for a z32 MAF. Code ...

This is how everything was setup with the previous picture of the oil pump spindle I believe. Looks like the crank mark might be slightly off from the timing tab.

Double checked my timing tab mark and I am thinking it was slightly past the 0* mark when I set the oil pump in which might be why it sits slightly slanted. The car would only start when I un plugged my MAF but after it was running I could plug it in and sort of keep it alive. Checked my MAF voltage...

I recently finished my build and have tried to start the car a few times. It seems like timing is off so I checked everything and just about everything lines up accept for my oil pump spindle. I can't tell if this is enough to make it run like crap or not. I have read that the slight slant in the ha...

Sent you a PM Tay

So some updates! I started the car up today for the second time. The other night I tried to start it and got nothing out of it. I thought maybe my fuel lines were crossed but traced it to a common cause for me which is my z32 maf for some reason. I unplugged it and the car fired right up. Smoky of c...

Having some electrical issues before I start the car up. I tucked the fuse box and my battery was already relocated, I just can not remember if the positive was run directly to the 2 plugs that plug into 1 connecter that powers the fuse box, or if it was run straight to the starter. My fuel pump, da...

John @ JK Tuning hooked me up with my last rom tune for the same setup. Only difference is that I have a built motor now :lol: On a side note, Jason at EMANCE screwed me and many others over after I paid him about 300$ to tune a stanza ECU for me and it ended up being bad. I think I said it would be...

So some updates, the car will be ready to fire up tomorrow for a potential break in. Hopefully everything goes well with no leaks!

Updates http://imageshack.us/a/img844/948/240kv.png Forgot to post that from the day I installed the head. http://imageshack.us/a/img546/2412/240w.png The plan was to leave it in the bay without the trans bolted. http://imageshack.us/a/img843/7299/240b.png I ended up being able to do it myself :lol:...

The buddy that was filming said it was around 25 psi when it happened :roll: After I get back home in a little bit I am going to be dropping the motor in tonight. I got the engine bay painted. I will get some updated pics soon. Also got my Tial WG on order with a 5 psi spring to ensure that the over...

For a second opinion, can any of the SOHC guys say that my cam timing looks to be right? I keep thinking it's a little too far left but I can't say for sure

Not sure if you are running studs or just bolts where they are completely stripped, I am running studs all around the exhaust to prevent this, but I would go ahead and tap it instead of running a coil. If anyone else could chime in on this, that is just my suggestion.

Here's some updated pics http://imageshack.us/a/img90/6324/240z.png http://imageshack.us/a/img209/2862/240o.png Started my timing components http://imageshack.us/a/img155/7283/240ie.png http://imageshack.us/a/img528/5724/240a.png Timing Complete http://imageshack.us/a/img546/1859/240qy.png http://im...

So I got my motor back and installed the head. Going to install the oil pan and timing components tomorrow. I will have updated pics coming tomorrow as well.

I should have the engine back by Wednesday and in the car Saturday hopefully. The only thing that is going to set me behind is my Tial wastegate. I have everything but that and it seems I will be waiting for one more paycheck for it. Quick but odd question. Even with my old wastegate that never seem...

A few updates. My ARP Main studs will be in tomorrow and I will have the bottom end put together. Should have it back by Tuesday with some pics.

Also put in an order for my ARP Head Studs. Part # 165-5401 for the DE. Just going to back them out a bit.

My pistons came in today. Also ordered a set of KA24DE ARP main studs. KA24E is the same I believe. http://imageshack.us/a/img696/2694/240so.png These are the specs that are on the box. I am having my machine shop put the bottom end back together. Is this the info they will need to assemble and gap ...

Definitely my humor is what drives me forward to have the patience to finish this. It was a big blow building it, being able to drive it for a total of 20 miles, then blowing it up. It only upset me for about an hour before I had made the decision to rebuild the motor from the ground up. Now that it...

Pistons are coming in Friday Also talked to Omar @ O&J and got a good deal on a stage 2 hydraulic cam so I will be ordering that next week as well as my ARP main studs & head studs. Almost time to drop the motor back in.

Sorry to hear that, I feel your pain. Did you happen to notice any ticking going on while it was at idle? The KA24E is an interference engine so if you did not align the cam with the crank correctly at TDC that could have caused it. Also might want to check to see if your timing guide has snapped as...

Ordered my Arias 8:8:1 pistons from O&J today. In the mean time I decided to paint some engine pieces. Pretty much procrastinating until I get into the engine bay and start the wire tuck. Here is the current paint scheme I am going with. http://imageshack.us/a/img515/6475/240f.png http://imagesh...

Figured I would go ahead and paint the valve cover anodized blue.
