New build for 439/1000

[4thStroke]

I was just talking to Jeff B. over at English about your car the other day. He had a lot of good things to say about it and told me about how you bitch slapped his red /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif... for a while anyways.

Ive made up my mind, my next turbo is going to be the 3052.

Quoting Brianawd:
Man is the car fun /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif. That new manifold made a world of difference. The car just feels way more responsive and torque. Boost feels like it comes on 200-300rpm faster than last year(need to log it and see). Just cruising around in 3rd at 3k if I tap the gas the boost gauge jumps to 10-12psi instantly /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif. I don't know why they ever stopped making that manifold /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bawling.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/devil.gif.



What manifold is that by the way then Brian?

Its a old Extreme motorsports. AKA Hogan's racing manifold

They make really really nice sh*t

 

Looks good! I got 1439 from Extreme and it had a bunch of their old school stuff on it. Still has the 3in dp with the OG flex in it. They were going 8's on that manifold like a million years ago.

Well drove the car to work today to I could steam clean the engine bay.

Do you notice any issues leaving the adjusters for the Ksports in? What are your's set at? I have mine all the way soft right now, and I think it's actually too soft for normal driving.



Car is looking great, good luck this season.

I think mine are set to soft. Maybe just a little bit more than soft

Looks like 2nd gear died. Sounds like I may have chipped a tooth. I think I got lucky and all I am going to have to do is put in a new 2nd gear. I was just cruising around when 2nd gear started making a funky sound. So I limped the car home in 1st and 3rd. I will cross my fingers that its easy.

Does this mean no HRR for you this weekend? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

No HRR this weekend for the car. After talking to Lucas most of the time when you f*** up 2nd it fucks up a bunch of other stuff. But because I was not doing to pull when the tooth broke all should be good.

I guess like anything else there needs to be a balance. One VR4 hits the road and another goes back up on jack stands. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

That's weird that it busted while you were just cruising. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

I think I might bring 1051 down to Hood River on Saturday. Just meet everybody there to haz lunch. If the weather is shitty, I'll bring 503. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif

 

[4thStroke]

You should bring 1051 regardless, I need to see that thing.

I was thinking the same thing. I'm happy is did it when it did. Lucas said that if I would have been doing a pull it would have stripped all the teeth off and then f*** up a lot of other sh*t.

Happy to say that the tranny is now at English Racing getting a new 2nd gear along with evo3 3/4 gears,hub slider and a new intermediate shaft. Hope to have it back in the car buy this weekend if all the parts come in.

Mine is in his hands now, too. The whole car.
