Ned's 91 GSX

She's running better now then she ever has. From the very first day that I got her, she's had knock and for the 1st time it's gone. Might post pone the tune a little bit, especially since the plan was to get it tuned to get rid of knock...obviously a tune wouldn't have fixed it. Also, I don't have to cash to get the tune now that I had to buy another fp and I also bought the MBC. Tune will happen, just not right now.

Don't think I ever posted a pic with the 2g MAF in. Had to used a short filter because of where it all had to go. Works great though!

Hallman MBC is in too

Wow it looks alot better dude. good job

This is why I won't post motor pics. ;) Clean bay!

Throw a zip tie on the boost reference line to the Hallman. :)

Ok I will, is that because it'll blow off under boost?

I've not had that happen, but I've always run a zip tie. ;)

Looking good man. Nice upgrades. Should run pretty hard. VIDS!!

When my pump gets here, ill work on getting a video. I can't wait to mess with the mbc! I've been running only 13-15 psi so there's room for play!

Looking good! The 1G bays are so cluttered!

The pump has arrived, Installing it tonight! Can't wait to get out of work.

Pump in yet?

Someone was too busy on COD last night :lol:

Dave is right!

They sent me the wrong pump. I went through TREperformance on ebay (my mistake). They sent me a TRE one but the auction is for a genuine Walbro. They do sell both so they're going to send me the correct one today. Kicking myself for going through ebay.

Extremepsi FTW

That's who I usually buy through but I was trying to avoid the $7.50 shipping charge. With where I'm at now, I would have rather paid it so I could have her back together now.

I hear ya. I dont mind paying a few dollars extra for excellent customer service. Thats why I buy from extreme. They are cheap, but if they are ever not as cheap as another vendor....I still by from them because they always treat me right.

Yea I agree extremepsi is awesome. Super fast shipping also. Just sucks when you buy some for 10$ and shipping is still 7.50

Ahh I remember the days of ExtrmePSI... I haven't had to buy anything for a while... Maybe I should get that thing running so I can buy some more stuff for it. lol

This one time I ordered 2 gaskets that came to like $4 and I still had to pay the $7.50 for shipping. Uber sucky!

Summit Racing I usually always pay ~$10, even just for 1 fitting. Now THAT sucks. But always get next day since warehouse is in Ohio :)

I get it THAT day since I can just drive on over to it. It's only like a 45 minute drive from my place. :)

Painting my extra valve cover. Trying to go with something a little different. I'm planning on polishing the letters too. Here's pics

before

and after 2 coats so far
http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c208/ned032002/IMG00497.jpg

Well its different for sure. Doesnt look bad, just not use to seeing flat sheen VC's.

I hear ya. I changed my mind on the flat black and went with a gloss black. The 1st coat is drying now. Once I get a couple coats in, I'll post another pic. I want to polish the letters but can't figure out a good way to do it.

I have tried many differenent ways to polish the letters and the best way I found was to polish the letters first then put grease on the letters so the paint doesn't stick and you can then just peel it off easily

man i wish i had to pay 7.50 for shipping lol, if i buy anything from a vendor im atleast paying 20 bucks sipping even if its only a 4$ gasket

Here's how it sits right now. It's not perfect but it's my 1st attempt with this. I do have one problem though. The pcv valve hole is stripped. What should I do in this situation?
http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c208/ned032002/IMG00501.jpg

I would just jb weld it in there. You could helicoil it if you want to.

Can you paint JB weld?

Yea you can, but I would just put some on the inside of the hole where the threads were

I'm thinking about just coating the threads really thick and just twisting it into the spot.

I did the same on mine. The 420a isn't threaded but just pops in. Still the same basic idea and works fine.

Everything looking good

Did it up with some JBweld, how long does it take to dry/harden up?<--that just sounds dirty

http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c208/ned032002/IMG_1374.jpg

Damn ned you got enough jb weld on there. It says on the direction how long it takes to set dude! But 24 hrs before it fully dries I believe

It dries in like 12 but takes 24 to fully cure IIRC. Longer you wait... the better.

The picture makes it look like ass, so don't judge me!

Uploaded a video on youtube, just a quick video with new camera mount. Unfortunetly it's a little shaky.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBGBcLmeD7g

Damnit ned your vid makes me want to go make my camera mount. But I got to study for exams.. Maybe tmrw Ill work on it some

I had a hell of a glare in my door window so I couldn't see the screen to see where it was aimed, I just winged it. Video was done with a CANON A560 Digital camera w/ video record option.

Nice.... Not bad positioning for just winging.

Thanks. You can see at one point it was facing the molding. I could just barely see that with the glare so I just adjusted a little further. I might be able to get some good videos tomorrow but I don't know yet. Take note the coolant light. I've had that since I relocated the coolant reservoir, not sure why I'm getting the light though. It does go out eventually.

EDIT: drop some comments ppl

Uploading 2 more videos now. All were recorded the same time.

looks good ned. Can you post a pic of your mount and how it attaches to the car

It's a pretty basic setup. It was really cheap off ebay, I wanna say it cost me under $5 from Hong Kong. Took a couple weeks to get here but at the time I was in no rush.

Ah it mounts to the window. They pretty damn cheap for a camera mount. I was thinking of building one that clamped to the headrest and maybe using some rubber to adsorb some of the vibrations

That doesn't sound like a bad idea. My original plan was to hang the camera from the sunroof by the suction cup but with this mount, the video will be upside down. With this movie maker I'm messing with, it looks like I can rotate the video so I might just try that tomorrow.

All video editors allow you to flip the videos.

What had done a couple times was attach my small tri-pod to the camera and then stick it between the seat and the headrest. Actually worked really good until you hit a big bump. Then it would fall or swivel. I do like this one though. May pick on up.

Here's a video w/ the camera mounted to the sunroof. I used Virtual dub to flip the video but I kept having issues w/ the video saving to a much larger size. From 98mb to 1.1gb. I figured out how to compress it, was able to save to about 125mb w/ the video flipped. So here it is

Valve Cover is done and installed. BTW, the JB Weld is hardly noticeable.

Looks good. I liked the gold as well

The burnt orange looked good but I've always been a fan of black valve covers with the brushed lettering. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with the extra valve cover now.

go onto mitsu-marketplace.com there is a guy on there that takes spare vc and powder coats them to sell, he gives you a core charge as well so u gain a bit of cash

I was already thinking of that. I don't think he's buying at this time. He was looking for a few covers and paying $30 shipped for them. I'm going to email him and see whats up.

last week he was in a real need for them i shipped him him one for a core and on to powder

Looks really nice...I like it. Very clean bay.

Valvecover looks nice dude. Way to rich on that pull tho. Wideband looked to be at 10.0 the whole time

When I get the money...sometime in the future, I plan to get it tuned by STM.

YOU HAVE LINK.. get some balls ned and tune it!:smokin:

Everytime I mess with it, I feel like I'm messing stuff up more. For example when I used the 2g timing map as suggested on link forums because it's not as aggressive. I got more knock then I ever thought possible. And that was just a couple clicks. If I post up the fuel table on here, will you tell me where I need to adjust and what not?

The 2g map works better starting with a 8.5:1 CR. (2g cars are 8.5:1 ;))

Can you help me out with this Lando? It's obvious I need help with it
