My SUPER SECRET PROJECT...

Postby _mr2_ » Mon Jun 08, 2009 12:39 pm

hey
to begin with i will explain for those of you that dont know. i managed to break something inside my engine, causing a knock, and a loss in power, the motor ran super rich, and was sluggish, so i decided to not only change it but make something different than the other 5sfe's out there.

so far i have layed out a budget of 1000 Bones, lets see if i can stay close to that.

To begin with i had to buy a few things:

rebuilt 5sfe - $150
new engine mounts - $75
Exhaust and intake gasket - $35
Cone filter - $30
Some misc. 18gauge wire - $20
A tube of good old gasket maker - $10
Dyno oil - $10
good oil - $20

That brings the total so far to 350 Bones

Next i got the parts that i would need to make something special out of this engine:

Roots style supercharger - $300
Intercooler and fan - $50
Engine enamel - $24
Afc neo fuel controller - $320
Lots of brake cleaner - $15

That brings the total to 1059 bones, woops already went over.

So i have gotten most of the stuff i need, lets start this shit!

Pictures will follow...
