Time for my semi-annual thread update


I have been pretty busy with other cars and work, but I randomly work on this pile too ... dumb stuff like hard lines, bushings, cooling system, ruining motors, etc



First up: some of you probably know that the car has been sitting because I just lost interest after trouble shooting for days. It was either burn the car, or walk away.

I decided I like the car again last month so I broke out some tools and did a compression test... 0 psi on cylinder 1, cool.


Pull the intake mani and the valves arent seating. I can do full rotations and they never seat... very strange.





I'm working with the people who assembled the head to get some sort of refund, but it will take a while.. so in order to make HyperFest and ECB I decided to pick up a spare stock s50




this one comes out







few hours later, this one goes in.. The new VC exemplifies my emotions for this car








Finished the exhaust... I am not a fabricator at all and have little experience with a welder. Its air tight and works though..








All new intake piping, couplers, T-bolts, etc... I didnt like the old routing setup






Coolant system done... Canton tank, home made heat shield, lots of heat shielding tape, etc. It looks tight in the pic but the return line actually has about 5" of room from the headers










Overflow located to fender.. Not crazy about it but its out of the bay, down hill from the tank, and I can drain it easily. I put some SS mesh to help stop rocks, but lets me check the levels.


also looks close in the pic but I have tons of room.. its actually about 4" behind the fender







New wheels (17"/16"), 615's, 595's, dual caliper hydro plumbed, new axles, garage alignment, and STICKERS!


























but then during my first ride I develop a misfire.... pull the coil packs and figured out cyl 6 is missing (not ideal..). After removing the plug I see some awesome coolant and oil! Hizzah!!


No clue if the HG is bad because I bought a sh!t ton of Nikolai and drove to Hyperfest to spectate. Eff this car.



Back to its parking spot:

Wow lame dude. Perhaps it's angry at your choice of thread title.

Cool story bro, sucks that the head is not done right, And it was done by VAC no less

Im not saying anything bad about any company at this point... I have bought 3 heads from the same place before with great results.


Shit happens I suppose.

All part of the game.

Car looks awesome!

Why the change of wheels?

[kunt_masha]

Why the change of wheels?

Just adding to the collection... I need lots of cheap wheels so I can swap quickly at the track.

Also, 17" rear opens up a ton of options for tire sizing. Very tough to find a company making a low profile 255-265 16" tire.

Woah!

I feel your pain, I got lucky and ended up finding some 265/45/16 Kumho's from a 2008 production run for my 9.5" Epsilons. When they wear out I'm probably going to have to step up to 17".
