wigenOut-S30 Posted September 9, 2016 Author Share Posted September 9, 2016 Hot side of the IC pipe is almost done. Just need to clean it up and paint it. Hugh thanks to Mike at our local speed shop Top Dead Center for welding the pipe up for me so quickly! Just one step closer to getting her back on the road. Hot side welded up.

lowrider Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 (edited) Be prepared for people to walk to the passenger side of the car to find the turbo now. It happens to me all the time. I love the progress! The car is looking great! Edited September 10, 2016 by lowrider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wigenOut-S30 Posted September 26, 2016 Author Share Posted September 26, 2016 (edited) Ok, back on the road! Still not sure about the head gasket.. Thanks to Jonathan Taylor for helping me do the coolant pressure test.. We put 16psi in it and it really didnt go anywhere.. We did a leak down and every cyl was 10% leak down accept one.. Cly 5 was 20-25.. Not great but not terrible.. Edited September 26, 2016 by wigenOut-S30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theczechone Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 (edited) Gabe why are you not sure about the head gasket? For cooling system pressure test on our prototype engines, we pressurize the cooling to 40psi and the acceptable criteria is less than 1 psi of pressure drop over 5 minutes. This is a little overkill but dyno time is much more expensive than build time. Anyway, car looks great, hope to catch up with you while im on the coast.
