Nice Kenik....................you're getting me interested in building one of those motors.

regards,

Things are really starting to come together. We almost have a runner! Just waiting for a few parts from Clewett and for the stock airbox to come back from the powder painter.

Trans is coming together now, too. New LSD, new 1 and 2 synchros.

I just acquired a hard to find anti-performance part. I am indeed a truly schizophrenic 930 owner. :)

as long as you keep it exactly where it is, that is a perfect paperweight...

It will go nicely with my Thermal Reactor logs...it certainly isn't in my immediate plans to put it on the car.

Time keeps dragging on, and progress is slow and steady, as the pace of work fits the pace of my capacity for cash outflows.

We are almost ready to start talking about firing this bad boy up. The harness from the engine to the ECU and wiring are done, so the motor is ready and we are just waiting for a few items to come back from the platers. Can't wait.

Here are some current photos to whet appetites until then:

That is beautiful- I'm coming to Seattle for a ride-:D

In September, perhaps? If you fly in, you're welcome to ride shotgun and maybe even take a spin or two.

Looking sweet thar, Kenik (the engine, not you)! :D

Man, too funny about the "anti-performance" York - that truthful comment had me rolling!

Love the 934-like wastegate pipe - I run one like it, buttofcourse.

Looking good Kenik.

Looking good. Where did you end up on CR with those 8.5 JE's?

Is that Rarlyl8's wastegate dump pipe?

CR ended up measuring out at 8.3:1, which is exactly what was expected after the material removed from twin plugging.

Yes, indeed. One thing I immediately noticed after installing it, is that the spacing between my Zork tube, a Fabspeed unit and the dump pipe is pretty wide. Because the Fabspeed is multi-part, it sticks out a bit further.

Yep.. I need to pick one of those up from Brian as well.. love the look!

BTW, Zork and dump tube are both out for ceramic coating to satin black - details, details... :)

Speaking of details, before heading out to the coater, we of course added the O2 sensor bung:

We also trimmed the outlet of the dump tube to match the Zork:

Ahh yes, that does look proper.. and detailed! :)

Here are some shots of the ECU, standalone PLX O2 module and harness getting fitted:

Another detail...the wiring harness will terminate into the engine bay using a few of these nifty Molex automotive quick disconnects:
