Re: Wes's 2.3l 6-bolt build AAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHH, I'm at school working on senior design stuff and my car is so close to being done it is driving me crazy. All I need to do is solder one wire for the CAS harness, put my upper IC pipe on, put my battery in, and put on the intake and I can fire it up.
On a side note it is damn weird to have a clutch pedal that is so easy to push again.

Re: Wes's 2.3l 6-bolt build Still don't have a running car, the alternator that worked fine on my last engine decided to develop an internal short that blew the fuseable link. I just picked up a new alternator but won't have time to work on it until tomorrow.
I was able to turn the engine over a bunch of times to prime the oil system though. I was a little worried about the PTT flywheel working but it seams great.

Re: Wes's 2.3l 6-bolt build Well with my current set up the PTE5031 is real laggy doing tuning runs on the street. I see peak around 5k. Thats going from 2k-7k. I have logged about 39-40lbs/min on the 50 trim. Still have alot of tuning to do since i just converted to SD E85.

Re: Wes's 2.3l 6-bolt build She is alive again. I got it running this afternoon and I put a little over 80 miles of easy driving on it. Those FP4R cams idle a bit rough especially with the solid motor mounts. The PTT twin disk is surprisingly easy to drive.

Re: Wes's 2.3l 6-bolt build Thanks for posting up those in progress pics Doug. I will take some pictures of the finished setup once the weather clears up a bit. So far I'm loving having the car back and the only drive-ability issue I have is that when the car is cold it really doesn't like to keep idling when I push in the clutch. It isn't to bad I just have to let the car warm up a bit before getting on the road.
