I was doing some hard launches and then oil started leaking, I had the car towed to prevent any damage. Once I drained the oil I still had about 4 quarts of oil left.









The oil appeared to be coming from the FMS. I had to purchase the Ati tool to remove the damper.



After removing the damper the FMS looked like it was fine.


I was trying to determine if the oil was coming from any other spot but oil was going all over the place each time I turned on the car. I decided to pull the FMS and to my surprise the spring was not on the seal.


Then I properly installed an OEM FMS after idling for a about a min I removed everything to check up on it and it was pushed out. No matter what I did it kept on getting pushed out.





I decided to pull the engine to replace the oil pump with a PHR modified pump.


I also changed my shifter housing and installed a Beech Performance Shifter.


PHR modified oil pump.














-10 bungs for catch can.














I also had a leak coming from my rear seal on the R154 which caused my exhaust to get really dirty I removed it to have it clean.











I also replaced my heater core hose since my stock hose was resting on my downpipe. After replacing it no longer touched the downpipe.

 

After driving the car for a few days everything was fine until my cam gear bolts decided to come off. My timing went on full retard luckily I didn't have the timing cover on and all the bolts were thrown out of the are.





Purchased a custom 3 port recirculated catch can.

 

Test fitting my RPF1 SBC wheels.

Looking nice.





In need of a pull.











Fenders getting pulled By Stance Garage located in Orlando FL.








A little dirty but pull looks awesome.





Time for some E85.





Them flames at a meet.








Time for some coils. Cxracing 12k/8K spring rates. They feel good.





Testing the drop.








Final adjustments.





I stayed real close to stock height in the rear.





R154 leaking up through the shifter there was a little puddle after removing the boot.

 

Nice build. Also what did u use to paint the dash

 

Awesome read. but I couldn't help but think "damn this guy goes through alot of *****!" All must be worth it in the end.

 

Thanks, I used Rustoleum universal flat black spray paint.

 

When everything is running perfect a lot of happiness lol. When things break I go crazy and must be fixed asap. I hate having the car down.

 

I was having issues with the fuel pressure at 30 psi of boost. I wasn't getting 1:1. I wasn't leaning out thanks to the injectors compensating. I didn't want the injectors to be compensating each time I ran high boost, I decided to upgraded to the Walbro E85 pumps. Issue solved, now I'm getting 1:1 confirmed all the way up to 31 psi of boost.





I had purchased a set of Bride Gias seats, however I went to pick them up and test them out . I didn't fit in them, my back didn't go in the seat.






When I purchased the car I did some light wet sanding and compounding. I still was not 100% satisfied with the look of the paint. This is before having the car professionally detailed.




I decided to have the car professionally detailed using 3D products. Really happy with the job.




I finally got my hands on the Can display logger. This is the temporary location until I receive the suction cup

 

I didn't like how the stock ECU was controlling the idle. On a cold start the car would go up to 3k rpm for around 3-4 mins which was really annoying. I also didn't like the response of the DBW. I purchased this GTE non vvti manifold and the PHR Ford Iacv kit.




Just a quick instal to make sure everything fits.



Loving the paint.



Intake manifold getting baked.



This was the only pic I could find after getting the IM painted. I'll update with more pics soon.


Going for some test runs on low boost with my cousins. Stay posted for the full video.

 

Rolling Antilag Flames are serious.









I need to find a way for the next pair of M/T to last longer than a month. I'll have to be easier on them.

 

This was on 17 psi lowest boost setting.

 

Awesome build

Thanks, Its a Mk3 Clutch type LSD with the Weir Performance Max Grip kit.
