Ok so I'm going to start this build thread. I just hope I find the time to feed it!!
A friend of mine bought this car on November 2009 and he had this idea of building a very fast wagon to surprise the crowd at the local dragstrip... He stored the car for winter and began buying bits and pieces from EBay and other TB members. He bought the Getrag swap kit from qwkswede and a nice Garrett T04E on EBay. He also ordered a plug and play MS kit from Linuxman. 3 months later he told me he was going to sell the car. I couldn't let this pass so I broke the piggy bank and bought the car for $4000 including the uninstalled Getrag kit, turbo and MS (not installed).
The car came with the following mods and upgrades:
Motor: B230FT 1995 (940)
Black leather seats
Getrag 5 sp. Swap
Brand new Mitsubishi TD04h 15G 2009
new ported headers

Since I'm a total noob in anything electrical, I had the MS installed by Roger-Dee in May 2010 but I left the LH system in place for awhile since I had no time to sort out the bugs from MS and no time to tune. I finalized the MS install and tuning at the end of the 2010 summer, still running on the crank position sensor flaky signal, 15G and browntops.
We took out the AW71 in June 2010 and installed the Getrag. And it felt very good right away!!
I stored the car for the 2010-2011 winter. Took the car out in April 2011 and blew the HG not long after that but it was a slow leaking gasket so no harm to the head and it only needed a regular resurfacing. I drove the car alot last spring, summer and fall and managed a best 9,23 on the 1/8 local dragstrip which is not bad for an almost stock heavy wagon on street tires. But since I sold my 331 stroked Mustang on December 2010, I was badly in need of a HP boost on this wagon!
Bought a house with a 3 car garage this summer so this winter is major engine work time!!! Here's what I have already in hand to install:
-Garrett T04E A/R .63
-Nathaninwa's custom 16V intake mani with fuel rail and 960 TB
-16V head with Yoshifab's valve springs upgrade
-Tubular exhaust mani bought from Linuxman, used to be in the car he rolled over with...
-Yoshifab's 16V timing belt conversion kit
-1995 B230ft block with squiters, bored to 96,5mm
-Forged 16V CP pistons from JVAB
-160mm H-Beam rods also from JVAB
-DSM CAS
-LS1 coils
-New crank and rod bearings
Here's what I have to gather up in the following month:
-Injectors, at least 1000cc
-A rightly sized intercooler
-Crank scraper
-Intake hoses kit
-Yoshifab's CAS adaptor
-T5 with appropriate PP, clutch and Flywheel
-Wilwood brake upgrade, front and rear
-adjustable FPR
-more money...
Right now the block is at the machine shop, bored and ready to be painted, red. I'm taking the crank to another machine shop next week to have it balanced. We should start assembling the engine back in a couple of weeks.
Btw, I'm hoping for around 400 whp on crushed fossil juice of the 94 octane kind...
