Winter build thread: GFXjamie - GFXjamie - 06-16-2014
"Breaking news!"
Was in boost and went boom. Seems this car shouldn't be driven on Sundays after I get it running proper. It seems to hate my efforts to keep it going. This time the cams are still spinning so looks like it may be time for another engine finally

Wow indeed. What tune is this - same one you've been running all along?
Winter build thread: GFXjamie - GFXjamie - 06-16-2014
It's a relatively base tune, however all last night I was on a cruise and beat the pants off it, earlier today I ran it out almost to red line and never skipped a beat. Wot it was fine, just lower on power and little extra fuel - it was safe
With that said it likely got weak from the last fight with the valves. I'll find out what's up and likely swap in a stock 2.0 for now and possibly build another

Built 2.3 time! You can get it done before H2oi ! Sell me the cage for some funds ahaha.
Winter build thread: GFXjamie - GFXjamie - 06-16-2014
Actually I'm going to stick to the 2.0. It can handle a little more rev and has higher compression. I'm looking at either a accident car or wrecker motor to get me through and then decide after the summer my plan of attack for the current power plant. I would love to build it
RE: Winter build thread: GFXjamie - zx3kash - 06-16-2014
Ohh i thought you were going to build it one time and not drop a stock one back in.
Winter build thread: GFXjamie - GFXjamie - 06-16-2014
I have spent to much time without this car and fighting issues, I just want to enjoy it for a season as I haven't been able to since 2012 when it started giving me clutch issues. Winter is down season plus with an extra motor I don't need to rush doing it.
