ms6mil's 5862 build, motor by EBTEC

Continued.....

January 19 2016,
Cleaned up the engine bay a little bit... unfortunately the car started running a little rough.


So.... I pulled that mofo out!



The motor is off getting built by Ebtec in Atlanta, thanks to Chris Murphy for the help on that.. In the mean time I will be completely cleaning out the bay, replacing parts here and there and getting the injectors cleaned and tested.



I am unsure if this is normal with injectors with the seals but they are pretty grimy...



Update: new Seals:


Also... If anyone who is reading this can point me in the right direction for a replacement connector for the alternator. I sort of cracked the clip when I was removing it.
Update: I found a connector that works....

Gutted the engine bay and clean and coated:



For the turbo, manifold, and WG I went with the BB PTE5862, CPE mani/Tial WG combo from Edge. ACT 6puck plus a bunch of new SS lines and fittings throughout the car.



Breaking down the PS pump for a rebuild...


I'm told 2 more weeks for the motor.

Gives me enough time to get the last few items I need and this thing should be like a whole new car.. Should be a beast!

 

EBTEC is small with a backlog of work. I visited back in October and their lot was full of cars waiting for work. I had a running car so didn't press them, would rather they not rush the build.

 

yeah... I'm in no rush... I talked to Chris a couple days ago and said it had just come back from the machine shop. I have another car as well definitely don't want them rushing anything either. I have been there before... there were tons of cars in the lot. Seems like a fun place to work.

 

Nice!

 

Nice build so far...i like what you did with the bay. What did you use to coat it with? I pulled my motor a few weeks ago after I went ZZB last summer and desperately need to clean and seal the whole area.

 

Injector Rx has finished the cleaning.. results below.

@Enki What is the norm? Spray pattern is "fair" should I use my other injectors, will these be fine? Any recommendations on the Injector #2?

 

Looks like injector 2 should go in cylinder 3, methinks... Can we get a Motorhead in here to verify?

 

Motor is getting built, bsd, everything is aftermarket, not sure why #3 would run the hotest. I took a look at Clints thread on msf, # 3 seems to be cooler.

Informative thread on cylinder temps.

I just need some piece if mind that this isn't a sign of an injector failing.

 

Hope to see this this up and running for ENM, would be nice to see it again.
