ryandriftingfat is an unknown quantity at this point
Yanked the motor out and took it to Andrew Molina and got everything rebuilt, the only thing salvageable was the block since it ran without oil.

Machined the block, new crank, rebuilt head, new s15 oil pump, CP 86.5 pistons, Eagle rods, Tomei MHG, ARP studs.

After Andrew yelled at me about my shit setup and cheap parts, I got a GReddy pan, another PBM Cobra, Walbro 450, OEM motor mounts, new steering rack, new tie rods, PBM rack bushings, 15mm bolt on spacers, new brake lines, yellowstuff pads and a set of Feal coilovers.




Then I bought a house. That was fun. Then I got back to work.

Dressed it.



Dropped it.



Finished it.



Pan height after going back to OEM mounts. With the old CS mounts, the GReddy pan sits below the cross member (meaning the CS pan isn't deep enough for the pickup and should only be used with CS mounts). I'm done with CS.



Got it started up then Andrew convinced me to change out my ECU setup. Tried to find a PowerFC but it appears that the PFC mine has dried up in the US, so we ordered an Adaptronic and got that installed Monday. Andrew did a string alignment too, drives SO MUCH better already holy shit.



Final motor config:



Got the car over to Koji yesterday to stick it on the dyno and this is where it landed.



Was hoping to hit 300 but the lack of upgraded cams and more fuel are the limiting factory right now.

Anyway, Andrew was a massive help for me on this and Koji moved his schedule around so I could get on the dyno this week. 6 months off, can't wait to get back.

Will update this thread again in 3 years please subscribe!!
