middle of nowhere? We must be 'Neighbors' ,, wrist pins all weigh the same my friend
.1 gram u could take that off the other 3 , but man that's so close I'd leave them alone

I figure that it is good enough for who it is for. Trying to get my buddies chassis done(welding, grinding) before I start final assembly on my motor. Still trying to come up with an intake design that I like that works with a single TB.

I'm having some of these made,just waiting on my welder to finish
aluminum with a bung,would this work for you?

[woodsbuggy1]

Mike, that looks nice but I will probably be mounting my TB above my shroud and have the plenum above the alternator tying into modified ICT endcastings with injector bungs installed. Will be ordering my new heads from DRD on Monday so will see what size the ports are and go from there.
Thanks

I ordered my DRD L5 turbo heads today . Darren said that they will have 66cc combustion chambers so that will give me 8.6 to 1 static compression ratio which should work well with 6lbs of boost and E85. I will be working on my header this week as time allows.

Thanks Art, maybe when I get my EBC hooked up I can have a Clonebug switch when I feel like smoking a supercharged ecotec .

The switch is nice to have but it should always be in the on position for best results.......

I was able to get some work done on my header, just need to weld it out and add flanges on the 1 & 3 pipes so it will be removable. My buddy Kelly has offered to TIG weld it for me so hopefully that will happen next weekend. Also need to remove the 2&4 flanges and replace them with 3/8" ones that I had made.

Bueller........................ Bueller?????

Don't tell me you are still working on the buddy's cars.............???

My motor is finally together but still have to finish up a few things on the intake.
Last weekend helped a friend wire up his buggy and run brake lines. This weekend we built 2 dry sump tanks,(one of them is actually for me) and turned a boat trailer into a buggy trailer. Hope to get my intake finished up soon and hear her finally fire up .

Wow, I cant understand where the time has gone. I am finally back to working on my build. I changed plans on my intake and am trying to learn how to TIG weld, will post up some pics later this week. I cant wait to get my new build up and running.
