My engine is being built as we speak, should be ready in about 3 weeks. 2258 with a holley injection setup. System learns as you drive, come with a 3 1/2 inch monitor to monitor the system, monitor will stay in the glove box. I can't wait.

One more

Looks fantastic. Your car is already amazing.
I’m green with envy over your tins .

Jimmy getting the upgrades!!! Nice!


That throttle linkage is the icing on the cake there. Its the only way to run ITBs if you want consistant performance.

I am interested to see how well that Holly sniper setup tunes out when run with ITBs. It can be a complicated process to get drivability tuned in with large ITBs.

If that motor is built to the same specs as the one they put in Rod D's car it is going to be an absolute riot with injection.

Cant wait to see it

Definitely looking forward to some videos when this bad boy is running !

All I can say is WOW!!!!!

Damn that looks nice!

Nice! What TBs are those?

Wow. Fantastic. Sublime.

BTW, I was just playing mt Strat. I'm working on a SRV tune.

The TB's in the motor pictured are jenvey's. The TB's that will be installed on my motor will be Borla's

My Strat Bought it new in 1992 Strat Delux

So you're running a Holley Sniper ECU? I've run the HP and now the Dominator and I have a GREAT tuner. He can do remote tuning, too. We used this approach when I moved from ITBs to the single DBW throttle body/stock intake.
And the "self learning" thing is a bit of a misnomer. I'll assume you know what that's all about but if you're interested in more info, PM me. I can get you my tuner's contact info, too, if that's of interest.
Engine looks great!

I take it back, the Borla TBs will be the icing on the cake. Thats going to be one trick looking setup, hidden injectors and all!

Since you are headed down the rabbit hole anyways, have you ever seen this setup?

Expensive for an air filter but super slick. Never personally ran one but its on my wish list if I ever install a motor large enough to require dual ITBs. Not sure if it would clear the rain tray.

Sexy looking bitch Jimbo. Love that green. Can't wait to see it run. What happened with the other engine. Did you blow it up?

Green!
just a critique but that location for the coil paks gets pretty hot!

This is super cool…….

Lookin sharp

Looking fantastic
Antoine

Amazing

Enjoy. 160+hp?

Yes to the cable linkage.
The setup is similar to my 1.8 It was worth it.
Also planning on engine upgrades. Good luck moving forward.

I kinda agree with the heat. My coil paks will be a lot higher from the case since there is plenty of room to do that.

Thanks so much for the offer, who knows might take you up on it.

More about the build, I've had the original case for the car laying around for years in a plastic bag that came from rimco when I sent the case off to be lined bored. That is the case we're using for this new motor since it's original to the car. All the internals will be new, new heads as well. Looking forward to this badass motor.

Nickies?

Sick

PMB is fab'n up a cover for this 2258. I think it will look good a nice touch, will be painted the same as the tin.

Should look awesome! Wondering if it might create an issue with heat for the components below it though?

Only one way to find out though!

I talked with them about that issue, the coil paks are hearty according to them, the way they are mounted they will get plenty of air flow underneath, and between the coil paks. So i guess it shouldn't be a problem. We'll see.

Louvers might look nice and let heat out. I like the cover idea. The throttle bodies are awesome

I have not had great luck with cardboard cooling tin, it tends to retain oil.

Progress pics on the green motor, the other motor is all carbon fiber going into a 911 this motor has a supercharger that goes on to it.

I like the bracket that holds the coil packs. Did you make it? — I guess form follows function but I have been putting together a holder for a fuel pressure regulator, a voltage spike filter for my Mallory distributor and a power distribution block, and it looks EXACTLY the same!

It was fab up by PMB

Update on my engine. The long block is almost complete, push rod and valve geometry is next. 2258 Pics courtesy of PMB

Update on a couple of 2258's being built. PMB

Here is what the air filter looks like. Definitely reduces noise and looks outstanding

OMG So pretty...like Gawd.

Love the builds. The air filter looks perfect.

Where did you get that air cleaner set up?

Looks like the CSP unit:

Yep - that is the one. Pricey but fits perfectly, was an easy install, and like I said reduces some of the carb noise, but not all of it....you can still hear them enough to make driving fun.

Wow expensive air box 968.00

Update: My motor is moving right along, won't be long before it gets installed, 2258 Click to view attachment

Mine and Aarons are right next to yours on the bench So can't wait to get mine and get it installed. Should be really soon.

Zach

@stratplayer - That engine looks perfect.

Your motor is on the runup stand now

Beautiful workmanship
Tom

Wow, that’s fantastic.! Can’t wait to see it in Idylwild
