Few minor updates as to where we’re at. Engine is out and disassembled on way to machine shop for getting new rotating assembly balanced and stock valve springs measured up to spec out some new ones. Turbos and all hot side piping out for heat shielding. A2A intercooler fab work underway and the little factory style throttle body inlet flanges we had machined up are ready for welding. This way we can weld intercooler piping directly to flanges instead of using factory plastic coupling and having to clamp to those. Fuel system is basically done as far as modified basket with new pump installed in tank and lines run. Latest round of revisions to port injection manifolds done and another set of 3D prints have been ordered which we will install when the engine is ready to go back in so we can do a final verify on all clearances before we have final design parts produced. Debating on wether we have them CNC’d or 3D printed in Aluminum instead. The custom strut brace/intake tube pieces we designed are being 3D printed in aluminum so we will see how those turn out. On a side effort, i have a pair of rear axles at a shop for hopefully getting an upgraded set made as well as I have a spare drive shaft that is going to another shop for a similar effort. After seeing pic of Mens Motors 8.8 sec M8 GC twisted pretzel driveshaft this will definitely require an upgrade That’s all for now, sorry no sexy pic updates to share.
