Turbo is a big t3/t4.
Pump is a giles pump with 9mm head, plannin on gettin a bigger pump but want to get this up and running first to see how much more fuel I need.
Clip on timing cover is from mk2 td's
Not worried about the holes, I don't drive through 3ft deep of mud

What are ya meanin by momo's?

We'll see how the headgasket stuff goes, I am hoping with the extra porting, manifolds, bigger turbo etc, the hg issues will be less due to better flow and pressure distribution.

Yeah theres a lot of parts from different cars here
:lol: Thanks to all my friends like Mark, Erik, Brett, Keegan and all for helping out and donating trading parts etc!

The fittings on the manifold are for boost gauge, wastegate and lda like trevor said.
Black widow... I like it! black and red is one of my favorite color combos. I used to smash those spiders to bits when I was a little kid.

I don´t think you´ll get even nearly 200whp with 9mm pump, best I´ve heard is ~160 at crank. BUT, you can always prove me wrong

I've got some big ass custom injectors as well, we'll see, I know its not enough for where I want to go but I think I can get to at least 180, I just want a good base to see how the motor re acts to things than I'll go big, I have a 14mm plunger here...

Just got off the phone with Giles, he recommended trying to tow the car, to try and get it to turn over faster, might free up the vanes, that combined with the pump sitting over night with some atf and fresh fuel in there it might free up.

Also Giles is gonna build me my 14mm pump finally :twisted:
6000rpm and 14mm goodness here we come!

Good gracious you've been busy!! Everything looks real sweet. Hope you get some fuel to light that fire.

carrizog60 · « **Reply #35 on:** December 19, 2007, 02:21:58 pm »

is 6000rpm possible with 14mm pump? :shock:

It may well be when Giles is done with it

No sweat.

Giles is hopeful that we'll be able to coax the pump to 6k or better. We'll keep you posted - we're glad to be helping out with this sweet project.

Dave, please tell me you have a lift pump on this motor.

935racer · « **Reply #39 on:** December 20, 2007, 02:48:40 am »

Lift pump coming, not sure which one to get yet, but obviously one is in order along with water meth and likely NOS as well.

So we got the pump speed up tonight, towed the car around, no luck, still no fuel, pressurized the tank enough for the tank seals to leak and the filter to leak, still no love from the pump :x Only had about 45 minutes to work on it tonight, got the tranny stuff done, axles in, shift linkage, speedo cable etc. Clutch doesn't work :evil: Don;t know what wrong, thought maybe the clutch pushrod finger broke and slipped a couple teeth in the fifth gear end cone there, in my experience when that happens though the pedal sits on the floor, this feels like clutch is working right, but it won't disengage. Real weird, feels perfect but no love :evil:

well Dave BLACK WIDOW it is! you should have a sticker made or have that distinctive red hourglass shape they have on thier bellys but painted on your block or something like that? or hey on the oil pan? that would not be too hard since it's in the car now?
be neat to see something of my influence on something far away? i'd be honered!

i also was afraid of them spiders thier webs are erie! when i was a kid i'd use my dads brake spray cleaner and watched them shribble up! Kewl!!
next will have to share exaust designes?
thanks Duane
