After reading through what you were taking on as a task and picking up my brains from them blowing all over the floor. I have to say BIG thumbs up for taking on such a task. I can’t wait for vids. ---

Wow, really sweet project. I always thought the Avengers looked really cool, if only they had some balls under the hood. Nice correction. ---

Thanks guys, I just got my down pipe and my ECM link in yesterday so I’ve been putting everything back together as quick as I could. I want to be on the road by the end of march. All I have left to do now is fix some leaks and find somewhere or someone who can help me with getting this exhaust pipe to fit nicely. ---

Nothing to exciting yet but I got it running yesterday, finally got the exhaust all bolted up, It’s a 3" turbo I managed to fit an HKS cat-back on with out to many issues, it does however sit a little lower than I wanted so I won’t be able to drop the car 2" like I had planned. The HKS was about 15" to short so I just made one long test pipe aka “full flow cat” I’m going to try and get some video tomorrow I just got to fix a small coolant leak at the t-stat and tighten the oil return line. ![http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c180/redvengeapx/DSC02408.jpg](http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c180/redvengeapx/DSC02408.jpg) ![http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c180/redvengeapx/DSC02409.jpg](http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c180/redvengeapx/DSC02409.jpg) The wheels in the background is my current ride, bad 1/4 mile time but good mpg ![http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c180/redvengeapx/DSC02410.jpg](http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c180/redvengeapx/DSC02410.jpg) ---

Yeah the oil pan was going to be on the list, The plan is to beat around this 7 bolt for awhile and then build a 2.3 stroker LXI, the down pipe came from Road Race Engineering painted with the flat black and the muffler is an HKS carbon Ti can, if I can ever get the car started to get a video it sounds pretty good. ---

The car is running great now, I’ve taken it for a few cruises up the road and back but nothing really major because it has no plates or insurance. A couple of the problems I had were because 1. apparently I never put the balance shaft bolt back into the block and it blew oil all over the place. 2. I put the wrong size bolt into the bs and then threw off the timing and bent 8 valves on the intake side :tdown: But the reason it would never want to start was because I was a dumb ass and put the valves in backwards. So a costly stupid mistake later everything is running great. I just have a few small boost leaks to fix and then its time for a tune. In the mean while I got a great deal on a set of these ![http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c180/redvengeapx/DSC02421.jpg](http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c180/redvengeapx/DSC02421.jpg) So that’s on the list next and I’d like to get the brake swap done before I put it on the road. They have a little bit of peeling but for the price I wasn’t going to complain. Just a few other minor issues I need to work out and I’ll be happy with the car as it is. I also changed the setup a little bit, I’m not longer venting I’m going to recirc and just use the stock maf. I thought about using speed density but I don’t know to much about it and don’t really want to run something I don’t know. Hopefully get a good running video up soon. ![http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c180/redvengeapx/DSC02425.jpg](http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c180/redvengeapx/DSC02425.jpg) Also big t-up to swerve motorsports for doing the valve cover it looks great and looks even better when the sun hits it, Thanks guys. This is the most recent shot of the engine I have. I had to take a spark plug cover and put almost a gasket around it, right where my scoop is all of the water just drops right into where plugs and wires are and just pools up. All I did was take some vac hose split it and turned out to work great. ---

How did you manage to put the valves in backwards? If you’d like I can powder coat the calipers for you for a pretty good price so you don’t have to deal with the typical nasty peeling of them. ---
