I would have to piece meal upgrades like this. I am still eyeing the DR 650 Billet sale they are having, good till the end of the month.
very nice build. I like it.
Well I spared no expense and bought mostly the best items I could get .. And honestly I didnt keep track of the money either .. With the list of things on the start of the thread as well as all the unlisted and hidden items like new oil cooler and new used tranny and every little nut and bolt and tensioner etc etc I think I am around 17-18k into it .. And Roy, I started buying parts for this at last years black friday sale .. As far as the car itself I didnt touch and didnt wanna touch one thing on her until we had every single part sitting here .. .. I will throw this out there for all of you, and I know many of you already know it .. But do plan on it taking at least three to six months to get your order of parts once the money is spent ..
if you got only the best, why settle for a "whinebro" fuel pump? :suspect:
I put mostly .. I also got a few other parts on sale on the black friday last year I just couldnt pass up ..
just giving you a hard time, man. my setup is essentially stock vr4 right now, and i can't STAND my whinebro. hotwire or no, it annoys the crap outta me. i need something quieter.
Whats even better is you could focus costs on parts; whereas JasonY and yourself did the installation. Very cool. :Clap: Do ya'll own the motor stand/engine hoist? I guess you can rent those things.Quote:

Personally, I am firm believer in new parts and we probably didnt need too change some of what we did .. But I feel better that it has been done .. As far as the hoist and all we are lucky enough to have a couple stands and hoists right here in the neighborhood and plenty of jacks so all in all it worked out really well .. Soon as we were done with the hoist and stand they were removed from the garage and freed up alot of space .. I think the black car only sat outside maybe four nights total .. There are several hooked up cars in the "hood" here .. One of my neighbors has pair of Olds 442's .. One is a 66 tripower and they made somewhere around 200 originally .. As it stands there are only 16 give or take known left to exist .. Its somewhere in the 500+ wheel range .. The other is a 70 convertible ..Its in the 400+ .. Both are real sweet and most noisy !!! Their is also a late 60's 10-11 sec mustang and a v8 Lotus here as well .. We did have a nice 400+ wheel 300zx here as well but that disappeared a year or so ago .. Sadly it was an automotic :(

...and i just lost all respect for you.... :p
Your at the end of a long line on that one ;)
Just giving everyone a heads up its gonna be a month or so before we will be able to work on the car again due to business obligations ..
So how's it coming along now? I have been off the scene for a while and am curious about the dr750s.
We got the injectors new plugs and walbro in the car last week .. Set it at 15 pds of boost and tuned it in like five minutes with the ARC2 .. All has been running well this week and the car is just starting to fishtail and spin first and second .. The car is really fun right now ..Tune has been solid and steady .. Set it and havent touched it since .. I had to reorder a few SS clamps for the IC piping as in a couple places on the system ones I had purchased just werent quite big enough due to angles etc... They should be arriving today tomorrow or wedenesday and from that point I will have to tear down the bumper and install those along with just the new fuel relay and we will be boosting up to 20+ this weekend .. ..
Update .. As you know I have been taking my time getting this car up to speed and have just been adding a system and then shaking the car down trying to get all the T's crossed and I's dotted along the way .. Today we made alot of progress as the summary of all the work over the last few weeks came together .. All hardpiping clamps have been changed out to T-bolt SS 40psi clamps, and the meth injection and hotwire kit are in .. Boost is set at 20 pds right now/1000cc's meth and the tuning with the ARC2 from 15pds to 20pds w/ meth took about one minute .. We really only changed one knob two clicks and it set perfect .. The car is sooooo rediculously fast right now Im just in awe .. Traction is still really good and the car pulls soooo hard I just cannot see many street cars that could have a prayer to beat it on gear pulls .. Power goes all the way to redline with no drop off whatsoever .. Really has me thinking about what a 7800 rev limit or even a 8300 rev limit would look and feel like on this setup ..
Only problems I have had to date are several random leaks on fluids and it seems that alot of bolts I know I tightened on one day I find loosened up again 3 or 4 days later ..Feel its best for several reasons if I just go and put locktite or something of that nature on everything thats important to stop the issue .. Otherwise its really been a solid, problem free build and I couldnt be happier with it .. I have to go away at the end of the week .. When I return which will be around april fools day we will install the last two systems .. The DLI and the KB boost a pump .. Once the car is up and running on say 26-28 pds I will go that same week and get a dyno ..:mitsu:
Dyno :)
cant wait for this one
