Just for all of the meth? You're addicted

Haha. I have the independent ports on the individual runners one up stream to make sure the mix is primed.

so with direct port meth, why do you still have a pre-TB bung? just so it registers the lower IAT?

A bung for meth?

Pre-throttle body .7mm meth bung.




At my welding guy's (Dan the Exhaust Man) shop. He is putting a full cage in this at the moment.








Intake manifold ready to go!




As she sits now. Need to get the cold side piping tightened up, run the meth lines to the trunk and finish the engine part of it. Lastly install new wideband O2 sensor harness when it is delivered. I'm sure I'm missing some other things.

So cool keep up the good work

Hawt. Nice work!

Thanks! :o

Maybe I missed it, but what's your power goals?

550whp 550wtq with out meth on pump gas would be cool. With the bad tune I was at 496whp and 526wtq before the head gasket blew.

With Water / Meth 600whp?? I dunno.

Wiped down the gasket surfaces with solvent.




OEM S52 gaskets.




All tight!! Took me 1 hour.




Wastegate, downpipe, turbo and oil return line all tight.




Electronic Boost Controller/Wastegate lines ran. Need to wire it up to the Megasquirt still.




As she sits for now. Going to get the meth bung welded on the charge pipe and do some actual work as well.

Beautiful

Cams!!




Used some tape to hold the caps in then flipped it on the studs.




Intake cam in the sweet spot.






Done! All torqued to 11ft/lbs.

[DrLeadFoot]

Multi-port is ready to go. Need to install the rest.




Ceramic Coated Exhaust Housing!! By Snap



Port matched the turbo exhaust flange. Hours could have been spent porting this thing. That's a January 23rd project.






Cleaned up the turbo.




Pic for filter reference on the S54 filter housing.




Torque Update: Done. Time for cams.

I need to figure out which oil cooler output on the S54 housing is the hot side.

Last night I took out all but one of my exhaust manifold studs. The one wasn't moving at all. Sleep ensued then in the morning brake cleaner was sprayed in all the ports and compressed air blew out the debris. Did this process one more round.

More to come!

what components did you use for the ground cable? I'm about to make up some to put in a proper aux fuse block in my car for all the additional accessories I run. Just curious.

Looking good! Loving the updates
