Eric's calling you out alex...heheh

well the new RM is fully modified and installed,
took the keyway chamfer being enlarged, the recess modified, and .030 (yeah thats correct) taken off the backside to move it closer to the block.
we also machined off the 9 keyway multispline oil pump drive section to utilize the much nicer JP single keyway oil pump drive from the two piece JP crank sproket.
now it's .002 off dead lined up, now that if fits properly i wish we had pulled the pan off so i could do some final clearance checks. but the old JP chain was .020 narrower than the new and old iwis RM chains so we went ahead and ground the pump cover down, and still used two paper gm gaskets i'm guessing we have .060+ pump cover clearance when it went together with the JP the closest the chain pins got to the pump cover was .042 so at least it's safer than sorry eh? we'd wrather split the block in two than have a damn timing chain break things....we're going for BIG parts breakage on this bastard lol:lmfao:
T cover is on, its all buttoned up. found the oe SC idler pulley stand had a fracture in the tip where the idler bearing locates on. it snapped clean off as soon as eric tightened and seated the pulley, so he's getting his spare for the modfications we have to do to it (to clear the billet 90mm idler from the cog belt kit...its just some grinding)
i have more pics to upload along with a vid but chew on this fer now lol

ahhh but we are closer to said video's
got the cam gear back from being ground down .030 to move it closer to the block for gear alignment which if we move through crank endplay and cam endplay the ceneter measures are now .002 off so damn near perfect

putting it all together now after dbl checking all the measurements

hahaha! he's a water softener salesman
he sells dehydrated water and liquid ice

most is just scored fer dirt cheap

the IC system took almost a gallon and a half. junk oil is in and ready for prelim runin. just a few small things to sort out, a quick drive to let the exhaust settle for the turndowns to go on (plus i wanted him to hear the difference between the straight out the back vs turndowns.)

enjoy the 3800 pr0n

dang....all those wires, tubes....lol looks like a spaceship engine! hehe
cant wait to see and hear it in video.

The custom intake looks sooo much better with the welds ground out and all polished. That's the only part in that EB that was an eye sore (in my opinion.) It's starting to get warmer, any chance this beast will make it to the track by the end of March?

Can we get a engine Bay pic when its all finished and no tools on it. I want it for my background for my computer.



Excellent job.

dont know about the track but ther's a local dyno day in mid may
hows this pic?


here's the car that got us two phone calls within 2 minutes of starting it up vids do NOT do the sound of this bastard justice

enjoy!



the 3 inch flowmaster delta's exhaust cutout closed and then open

make a POV asap!!!


we need to here that blower whine, please!!!

get a video of the rpm gauge when you get on it, and also if you have a vac/boost guage can you possibly get a video of how much VAC you have idling and then get a video of you getting on it showing how much PSI

im sure all of us would like to see that, come on man be creative...im sure you can look what youve accomplished already!

its still has plenty of tuning to do before he gets on its still never been over 75%

coppers were out last night but i got a couple vids that werent tooo bad
a very giddy eric lol

wheeee while tuning VE

waking up my buddy's parents

just a little grudgematch eric and al's 04 GP L26/32 farthest eric's gone is 60% throttle (200+kpa at 30%) before 02 readings drop to .074 mv and knock climbs to 10*

thanks guys!

one of the hard as hell to find OE chrome rims has a crack in it and eric REALLLLLY wanted the 235 traction ta's on it so 50$ at the Jyard got us the two rear rims off a burnt to hell GP

no worries though eric bought the 16x8 1st gen GP crosslaces off Al so theyre getting blasted the lips polished and the laces painted gloss black...
gonna need the 8" rims for the 255 MT et streets should look pretty sick once theyre done...
