[QUOTE="04yfzkid, post: 14254166, member: 108463"] Thanks man I am really hoping so. It'll be fun for a little while then hopefully the next owner will really enjoy it. Dropped the motor off at the new machine shop about a month ago and they still haven't checked the block out yet. They are just super swamped and quality takes time! They did find that all of the pistons were burnt on the sides and several had collapsed ring lands. I never saw it get lean driving it around but then again I can't keep my eye on it 100% of the time. It did go lean twice on the dyno because of the pinched boost reference line. Going to make a couple changes. Move the boost reference line New maf housing built (will clamp better and hopefully that is where the intake leak was post maf) Big battery in the trunk (it's a street car and big odyssey battery > weight savings) Catch can mounted where the battery was New plugs The better total seal rings Better bottom end bearings May switch to a cometic head gasket for shits and giggles Boost brace with 3/8" hiems bolted to the intake manifold and the charge pipe going to the throttle body New race-part throttle body silicone boot New bosch wideband o2 The new maf housing my buddy built me [ATTACH=full]585044[/ATTACH] Powder coated upper intake manifold and cermaic coated manifolds. Didn't want to deal with taking either of these off when I got powder coat / cermaic coat the remaining items [ATTACH=full]585045[/ATTACH] And how the boost brace is going to work sort of. Ordered everything from Mcmaster-carr [ATTACH=full]585046[/ATTACH] Painted the intercooler black. I had already wanted to because I don't want the attention of a sliver one. I was cautious that the paint would insulate the intercooler [ATTACH=full]585047[/ATTACH] I watched this video from MCM and made my mind up lol [video=youtube_share;f1QL9veQaNg]http://youtu.be/f1QL9veQaNg[/video] [/QUOTE]
