sorry never got around to putting this up. car has a bunch of boost creep when its cold out. i bought a ported hotside and i need to port the o2 housing and see if it fixes the creep problem.

i was not full throttle in 2nd gear thats why im not bouncing off the limiter at the begining
maybe i should change the thread name to my build thread, who do i ask to do it?

What did you want the title to say?

Some of the pictures are down on the first page.

What are your plans for the transmission?

v8vega355's f22a build or something along thoes lines would work.

trans is a stock f22ax trans with an obx LSD in it that i had to replace the conical springs in and now it works perfect.

ill get the front page pics fixed

Fixed..

I was going to ask you how you liked the OBX lsd. I have the quaife in my f22 trans. I love it. But some of my friend's want lsd but the price is higher for the quaife

Nice Numbers you got there. I too am curious how you like the OBX lsd.

so....... it has these springs that look like washers in it that are junk from the factory. im pretty sure it broke in the first 5 feet when i put the engine in i heard a big bang and after the next 1k miles it got sloppy and quit working, i found a guy for 30 bucks that makes better replacement ones so when i had the trans out i removed the diff again and replaced the washers. (springs) since then it has been flawless. if your decide to go obx replace the washers before you put it in. http://rbryant.freeshell.org/obx_washers.htm here is the instructions and the kits are for sale at the bottom.

updates

so its been about 8k miles since boosting the car. been driving it dailiy for 2 years back and fourth to work. it is no longer my daily as of about 2 months ago so miles will not be stacking up so much now.

over the summer it blew the head gasket im pretty sure the head didnt torque correctly when it was first put on. this time around i had to double check the nuts on the studs about 8 times. every time i would check i would find one nut would go another 1/8 turn or so.

heres a little video of how sloppy aries pistons are when you first start your engine cold. and why they are so loud.

decided to take it out on a cold, dry winter night about 2 weeks ago and well this happened

so 2 things broken isnt to bad. the car still makes me smile when ever i drive it. well worth it.



other wise engine is still together, noisey as ever.

trans is questionable, obx diff with the new springs are still working perfect. input shaft bearing is making noise and to many hard shifts are destroying something that engauges 3rd gear. bent fork maybe.

got coilovers on the car new whels,tires not sure how far i lowered it but here it is now

Sweeet! Ya, I think i have a bent fork in my tranny too Now it will randomly get stuck out of gear and stuff like this, so no more racing.
