Re: Ek SFWD never ending build.....
Well got the motor running this weekend .... Painted the comp housing and the intercooler pipes . I think it turned out really well. Makes the car look totally different .
Got some new rubber in for the dyno and possible street use ..... Mikey Thompson 275/50/15 it's a 25.9" inch tire. Look really big, not sure how it will fit lol I have a 15/8.25 0 offset rim to mount them on. Will get them mounted and see what I need to do .
Sooooooo onto some bad news ......... Got the car running yay! Lol motor runs great starts up on the first try with no issues. I'm getting a check engine light for a cam phase gap error . Took valve cover off and checked the timing and it is off by about a half tooth. Timing isn't off much but enough to throw a code ,Not really happy about this . With the motor at tdc the intake cam gear is off . The exhaust Lines up perfectly but not so much for intake.... I'm gonna order new chain guides in the morning for I used my old ones . No idea how it's that far off but it is .
Any idea as to what could cause this ? I'm gonna replace the guides and hope for the best ! I originally set all the marks on the chain so it's mechanically in time. With that said it has to be something else . I'm leaning towards worn guides .....

Re: Ek SFWD never ending build.....
So after ordering new timing chain guides and redoing the timing I got the issue fixed and the car back running with zero CEL's .
Here is a short vid of the car idling . I could listen to this all day long !

Re: Ek SFWD never ending build.....
Oh and just and FYI those Radials were a fail
I just ended up ordering a set of 225/50/15 Mickey Thompson. Those should be enough for the dyno. I was wanting to have a nice street tire that would hook at my power level but guess not... haha There was too much involved with getting those tires to fit. I am not going to change my suspension setup just to fit some radials when I already have the car setup for the track on my slicks.
