Monjarassi: The Final Push, Quest for that Big Powa

[monjarassi]

Well finally ladies and gents the motor is assembled and ready to be mated to the tranny.

If all goes to plan no later than wed motor will be in the car for the first time since Aug 2013..
Yay for me....

Showing off my tdc and custom cam pins to set TDC. Fawk paying 8 bucks for the honda ones!!!









And a shot of the mod to the pump to fit the z3 block!

Wow, didn't realize it's been so long. Congrats. It's funny that you are complaining about $8.00 parts after what you've sunk so far!

[monjarassi]

hahahaha true man, very true.

But think about the use i will give that 8 dollar part.

Put it (and much more) towards your wife, she deserves it for being such a cool partner!

Today lashed the valves to our custom spec, nice and tite, just how i like it.
In - .011

Why not share pics of the motor fully buttoned up and ready to mate with the tranny.
Dont mind the VC, its the test dummy!!

What has kept you from getting the manifold coated?

[monjarassi]

So as promised, rain or shine, with or without help, i was not going to finish the day empty handed.

Started simply my torquing down the flywheel, and pressure plate, thanks to my lil brah that stopped by after work for a short period.
For the first time i dropped the motor in on my own and feel like a BOSS!!!!

A couple pix i snapped on the way.





















Still have a ton of things to cover before being officially done, the fun begins as the sleepeless night end.

Nothing really, just love the rawness of the manifold and welds

coming along nicely monj... keep it up mang

[monjarassi]

Well as the week finished, so did i with all that needed to be done.
Started by unboxing the fire breathing, fire spitting fresh turbo from PTE that rebalanced and replaced ex housing with a new one. Also mounted engine harness, wastegate, dumptube, nylon vacuum tubing, and tapped the fpr top hat for my fitting. Screw the rubber ones. Pshhhh, onto the pix.
Having RY-WORX in the house tomorrow to clean up wiring and final touches...

Good god. Someone needs to make d.i.y on how to make a monj bay.

[monjarassi]

All wiring is officially done and new oil psi gauge in place for the start up.
Only waiting on a Bosch pump and the shifter box to come back.
