What size wheels can I fit?  Group: Members Posts: 4,645 Joined: 5-April 05 From: Scottsdale, AZ Member No.: 3,881 Region Association: Southwest Region   |
I have this on Narp but I know most of you don't check in there too often. I thought I would put it here as well so all can see what Joe is up to.
Buying a used motor is always a roll of the dice. Mine has ran strong since Joe put it in but the smoking issue(valve guides seem to be the most common diagnosis) has become worse over time and the oil leaks are no longer small. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) So we struck a deal that has me pulling the motor and sending it to Joe to rebuild. Then he is coming out to help me put it back in(read as, he is letting me slow him down). There are added costs in doing this obviously but Joe made it more than fair and it worked out to be cheaper than having any of our local shops do the work and hand me back a freshened up motor. Plus, I get some more much needed hands on experience. I got the motor out yesterday. I will be pulling off parts that I want to pretty up while Joe has the motor. I am also going to take this time to clean up and respray the engine bay. The before photo, fresh out of the car: Attached thumbnail(s)

So what are we doing?
3.4? Individual throttle bodies? Motec? Huge cams? It's time to get rid of the distributor and at least go with the Electromotive crank-fire arrangement...... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stirthepot.gif) |

He's on the phone with his buddy, who is trying to talk him into going out with them and bringing his penis. Since his wife has his penis, he says to her "come on honey, all the guys are taking theirs...", a moment passes and he puts the phone back up to his ear and tells his buddy "she says no fucking way..." Remember that one? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) |

It's all stock. As for HP, the specs say the US model was at 217hp, the Euro 3.2 was 231hp.

So I have a late night (read: alcohol induced) email from a certain customer saying:
(paraphrased) WTF? You're suggesting all these mods to Wills and not to me? I have money! I want that stuff! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif) I told this anonymous person to go with the ignition for $1700 because the whole package comes in at around $17k. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) |

Joe's garage rules are pretty simple:
1.) Leave your car here, Don't come back until it is ready. 2.) Don't touch anything, I charge for that 3. The dogs get overtime after 1pm- the 7 year rule you know 4.) I will call you when YOU run out of money. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) Attached image(s)

The motor above in the youtube link is what the questions refer to please. I am just curious what can be done going with that induction and ignition system and what the ROI is from a power perspective. Sound like Joe knows.... Rich |

Rich The FI is the same as we're using on James'. Electromotive TEC gt, but the one in the video also has individual throttle body intake (+$2600). I don't have a dyno sheet. Probably 20ish HP for a total of $6k, but it looks really cool. |

I figured with new camshafts and the throttle body setup it might actually be doing something aside from posing. Rich |
