Update
The moment of truth you all. I got some time on the dyno this morning and ironed out the initial tune on the car. It made right at 600whp due to being limited at fuel. I am very excited to pick the car up.... I am trying to figure out a way to upload a video that Dynosty posted to their facebook page

Congrats on finally getting her running! After reading this I think it is best to stick with engine building specialist. Time to enjoy the fruits of your labor.

Hello all. Sorry to the really delayed response. Hectic life and have been out of town. I have quite a few updates that I have done to the car that this thread does not reflect. I also have quite a few updates planned in the next couple weeks. I did bring the car to the first day of the import alliance meet in Atlanta if anyone had a chance to see it.
So some new things on the car since I last posted include some brand new shoes. I decided to go with a genuine set of BBS wheels to keep the European look going on the outside. The are all 18x9.5. It is in dire need of a Full alignment to adjust the camber. I'm aware. The second thing I should note would be I ordered a genuine Vertex hells racing steering wheel from Vertex Japan, and it took around 4 months to get made and get here. I'm very happy with it, but am having trouble getting the horn button to fit and work with the nrg quick release. Third thing I have attempted to install are the carbon fiber side skirt extensions that were provided by DTM Fiberworks. I have installed one side and am waiting for some more time to install the drivers side. I will try and post pictures of it the best I can. Last but not least I did install a short shifter from enjuku and a Tomei shift knob. Next week I plan on spending some time to install a coolant swirl pot to help keep those coolant temps down a little more. And I also have ordered a new turbo exhaust housing that is a little bit smaller A/R size to help with turbo lag. The lag is something that is really killing me. You can tell in the videos it takes a while to get to boost but when it does it pulls soooo hard. This turbo was meant for top end. Will post an update when done. Sooo here I leave you with some current pictures I took of the car today after I washed it. I realized I never posted many interior pictures. The leather Vader seats are very nice for their age. I also took a couple videos     s1208        Last edited by dcreech0; 05-14-2017 at 08:37 PM.. |

The crew at Dynosty advised that the initial start up went much better than before and the valve lash sounded to be in spec compared to the prior attempt..... They left it to idle on the dyno so that it could get up to operating temp. They said within 5 minutes of idle the whole shop echoed with a loud screech that made everyone stop what there were doing. I was advised that following the noise the motor locked up.... SMH SMH FML!!!!!!!!!!!! They had me drive up to look at the carnage for myself. They pulled the exhaust side rocker cover and found that the mechanical timing was off by 3 or so teeth and found the following under the rocker cover......
So here I was feeling like I had been bent over as I was out a Cylinder head (not the easiest and cheapest to find a replacement), out a brand new set of $550 Tomei camshafts, and the new headgasket. Not to mention all those metal shavings would have been ingested by the bottom end as well. As much as I hated to do so, I had Dynosty schedule to pull the head yet again, and advised i was going to have them make this problem right as RAW brokerage couldn't seem to get the job done and was just costing me money. Needless to say I was left with this
