today were gona be swapping out the skunk2 megapower r exhaust for an xlr8 76mm exhaust.
also doing blueprint stage 2 cams with supetech valve springs/ titanium retainers. tried to get him to reuse his steel retainers but...... meh

i plan to do a before and after wot video on the exhaust change, depending on how off the afr are.

Nice, I like centrifugal blowers I had a V1-SC trim Vortech on my Mustang for a few years.

ls joker

its definitely something. i guess the only downside is psi by peak

ls joker

alrite so we picked up his rims. they are rota grids, the concave model. got the exhaust on, difference in tone film, and a special gift lol. driven by yours truly. just waiting on the videos to upload. i dont have any video editing manager, i tried to have both video upload as one for a better comparison. but i suck so whatever.

ls joker

rota grids 17x9 +/- 25, 5x114.3, cant remember( for sale $600) dont like the fitment and dont really want to roll the fenders.


everything went smoothly with the cams, rockers, and tensioner. had to remove the upper timing side torque mount and the serpentine belt just to see the timing marks on the pulley

smoothly enough until one of the bolt to the euro xport tool bent. so were done until we get another bolt machined.

all the goodies

ls joker

so we got eight of the valves done. then the retainer cup on the euro xport tool bends, then breaks in two. but we did get the pulser plates and gears switched over to the new cams. ow just waiting on the new tool or whatever to come in. the ghey oem valve spring compressor from autozone was useless. sounds like the valve cover is bout to get power coat. and rims are in process of being resold lol

ls joker

were getting there. got the valvesprings done and rockers on. hard parts done.

ls joker

whoops forgot to lay down the assembly lube

Sweet, sweet assembly lube. I love globbing that **** on stuff when building.

ls joker

that stuff is ever lasting. it sat overnight, then the next day it kinda ran everywhere , but whatever you touch was just ****** gooie. like when you smash a massive bug.

ls joker

still in progess.

we started it and got a cam position cel. now after tryin to re align all the marks, tensioner doesnt want to go in cause the guide is pressing back against the tensioner. guide loosens up when the crank isnt at tdc, and the tensioner drops right it. man fucken chains have no give what so ever.

kr3w108

You have the tensioner all the way depressed and locked? It should go straight in . You need to have all the chain slack on the intake side of the motor that way the guide has room to move....

ls joker

depressed to three teeth. only time we get slack is if its not anywhere near tdc. i think well get back at next weekend.

we didnt have this problem last time apparently cause the pulsar plares werent 100 percent lined up. but the cam gear marks did line up

ls joker

its Alive!. got the valve cover powder coated, so we had to remove the baffle to clean out the sand. instead of riveting it back in we used 5x12mm pan head screws, then tack welded them to the baffling.and painted the intake.

pics and vids up tomorrow. trying to put a few miles on it, but the weather is back to **** again

ls joker

took four short vids, but i goofed on two. i forgot to turn the upside down up. you can defintely hear the choppy tone at light throttle. we got a few small exhaust leaks aswell. also no valve seals smoke

KevinEF7

Exhaust sounds soooooooo much better at the end, nice work. Kudos on helpin a bud go fast

Whats up fellas, lol

ls joker

whaaaaattt? lol

we just need to button up those leaks. need to get it tuned im ready to feel the top end difference. on his car, you can monster low end, and monster midrange, top end starts to bleed off bout 7800.

truthfully, i miss the skunk2 exhaust. watch the dyno video a second ago, **** was crazy loud lol. the xlr8 has an nice exotic tone though.
