Im gonna pull the engine to clean it up and paint my engine bay, i will take pictures of the whole process hopefully get it done in one day, maybe two.

oh yeah funny thing, this was my total from enjuku racing no lie!! 2871 thats messed up

Good luck with everything! take lots of picks and keep us posted. I am curious about how your Enthalapy tune turns out.

i hope good, i called martin before i bought the parts to give me some pointers, i figure i should build it the way the tuner recommends not to my unknowlegable standards.

This is going to be an interesting build keep us posted

this will be a good setup, looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

damn!!!!! can't wait to see it all done!

Won't be gettin it done while there's good snow to ride on. Gotta go snowmobiling while theres snow!!

don't remind me.

how are the trails up by you? my brothers are talking about going up north in the next week or two.

i just got back from a 80 mile ride from oshkosh to appleton and back, some of the fields are not the greatest but overall there pretty good, ill be heading up north fri night till we find real good snow, maybe upper michigan,

have fun stay safe.

got home from a 280 mile snowmobile ride and i had 10 packages waiting for me!! I must be living the life!

yes you are sir

All of the parts you have look great! Just like X-mas all over again. I will tell you from personal experience that the Short shifter kit that you bought may let you down. I had(still have in box) that same one on my car for about 2 months. It would loosen up and I had to retighten the bolts that hold the clamp\bracket together. One time it actually slipped off the trans while I was driving, talk about a nerve racking moment when your shifter suddenly gets sloppy as hell. I would consider spending the extra $$ on a B&M. I did and it is worth it. I actually posted somthing about this in the Favorite Mods thread. Best of Luck with the installs though, have fun!

thanks for the heads up, the reason i bought it was that some joker had to go and grind all the threads off of mine( and did a sh!tty job of it) so absolutly nothing fits on it. i figured it was a cheap way to be able to install a sshift knob. if anyone has a stock shifter i would buy it. I deal with crappy accessories and modifying them to actually function on a daily basis so if i need to i will.

with this setup what fuel pressure should i be running is 43.5 gonna be fine, i think im gonna be around 15-18psi of boost. is there a way to bench set the fpr to get it close to 43psi can i blow compressed air in and set it??

The best way to make sure you are running the correct amount of fuel is to monitor it from a WideBand A/F meter. Then if you are lean you will need more fuel if you are rich less. If you are getting a rom tune by Enthalapy you should be able to tell him what your setup is and the ECU will/should be able to compensate for most of the the A/F issues, providing you have a good pump and injectors. I have read(not tested personally) that if you run a 255LPH fuel pump on a stock FPR that you will run a little bit higher fuel pressure than with the stock pump. The only way to check your pressure is with yet another guage. Also if you would like a stock shifter I have 2 of them one from a KA tranny and the other from a SR tranny. I believe that there is no difference between them. LMK if you are interested.

How is the build going? Any updates/pics?
