any ideas on what i should do and check while the motor is out.

maybe things i should eliminate, and things i should add



thanks

martin

go non seq if u aren't already... ditch everything emissions related and stuff (if u can in ur state).. get a PowerFC.

i have the power fc, no air pump, midpipe and just recieved all of the block off plates, and non sequential it is.



thanks for the suggestion



keep em coming

change the turboes with the newer stock one in the garage

remove the twins, add a single https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

best idea yet!!!



but.... since im spending the money on the motor..... no more money for the single for now :(

he actually had the money saved for a single, but this happened so no single for a while

relocate battery and do what 9base3 did and relocate fuse box.

paint the engine bay if it looks bad

OH GREAT!!!! im gunna buy some IBM spray paint... thanks for the idea

yea make it match. i say get rid of powersteering/ a/c so i can see how it is on ur car before i do the same

Ditch the abs if you dont like it! Also more room to get your elbows in there. Bigger master cyl., and so on.

get a new slave cylindar and clutch fork...



or a new clutch while you are in there

Martin, i don't know what kind of money you make, but when my engine blew, I kept it off the road an extra 4-5 months just so I can do the single conversion at the same time. It might be worth your while, to just do the same thing. I know I'm happy I did

F THAT! sell ur **** and buy my car!!!!

yeah sell your **** and buy a bigger POS. Going from an FD to an FC is like moving from beverly hills to compton https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683785.gif

i would sell my FD for another GSLSE if i had to. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/blush.png

but yeah, like its been said. if u can wait a lil longer without your car, then i say wait. after all u wanted a single, i feel its better to wait longer and get what u really want. rather than get it done quick with something you wont be completely happy/satisfied with.



i spent a year with out my FB. but i got exactly what i wanted. my only regrets were that it was my and my engine builders first joint venture. if i had known then what i know now, the bridge ports would have been cleaner and bigger and awesomer...i was actually waiting on getting some 9.7 comp rotors to disassemble it again and work the ports a lil more, before teh accident. but i was really happy with my engine.

Everything listed above and maybe...

flywheel??

FPD???

ALL NEW GASKETS...



and I have no idea what your current mods are. These are things I'd be doing when the time comes

cough:::put in a 20b *****:::cough https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

haha

well i've only had my car running for 4 months the within the past year!!! i'd hate to keep it off the road for longer..... would it really be that much easier to wait about 3 months for me to get a single and install it while the motor is out of the car?



can i do the single conversion (i guess with a lil more difficutly) while the engine is in the car?

hahahaha, i dont need that much power....... plus if i dont have money for single.... how would i have money for htat?

sell your soul and a kidney...don't need that much power....do i hear a chick talking?....you could always use more power https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

NO!!! I can't afford not having his car for a while....... i mean HE can't afford that https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

you can also change all the vacuum hoses and fpd for the hell of it

i double the haha.



kevin.

do i have to take the engine out for a sngle conversion?

No, but its a hell of alot easier with it out.

alright something i just needed to know https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png thanks booby

while the motor is out u might as well replace your #2 flux capacitor...

Why dont you buy a boost guage, fuel pump and some large injectors so you don't blow it up again.. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R#>/violin.gif

yeah, get some back up plutonium while your at it..



the northkorean7club.com can help you with that..

done done and almost done

higher capacity exhaust fans...heat is da enemy https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/devil.gif

exhaust fans?

LOL, He is from West Virgina Martin he can't help it.

He meant Radiator fans.

haha, yeah jt's new import fans

yea, remove the ac and ps if you don't need it... im in florida and took out mine... also, if you want a lightweight flywheel do it while the motor is out... much much easier.....um..... yea i would just wait and go single if you can at the same time....

Hey I like that flywheel idea!!
