brandonf (FLO)'s BT speed6 build

[brandonf]

Another day of fun.. and from the wise words of @Rokusek; :

'
Didn't take the time to take a bunch of pictures today. But I did get a few.Ryan Danos @danosrk got the battery relocation kit installed and ready to go along with all the gauges. We got the axels back in, swapped out the front upper control arms, H&R coils done up front along with the Evo 8 Brembo Big brakes, stainless brake lines up front. All engine electronics are done, 4 port boost controller and all the lines are installed. Got the @Matt@DamondMotorsports; Power steering cooler installed. We have made some serious progress over the last two weekends. But we still have a lot more to go.

We hoped to have the car running today but ran into some complications. We need the port injection injectors still for the JMF manifold, we are still waiting on the port injection fueling kit to get her. Wot box, Manual fan speed controller, and a few other things still need to get wired in.

For the most part, I am extremely happy with the progress we have made with a solid 4 days worth of work. We hope to have the majority of left over work to get done within this week aside from the fan controller and wot box.

It's been a long road to get this far but I must say Brandon Florin is almost done going full retard.'

that engine and turbo setup looks awful familiar

Lol, it should.. rocking Nagel's built motor/turbo/fmic/intercooler/intake. THE CAR IS NOW RUNNING! There's still a few more things left to do.. rear sway bar, diff mounts, rear suspension, dss axles, couple braces, raise the clutch height, and possibly clean out the rear diff.. and it'll be ready for the road. Also going to get a race alignment/corner balance.

Ran into a problem with the ground on the starter not plugged all the way in.. damn thing ate up a few hours trying to figure out wtf was going on :|

Also running super lean, 23-24 stft's at idle on a base 4" intake map, so going to buy a new gasket for the DP->Turbo and replace the V-band clamp, which will hopefully fix the problem. I bought all new clamps for the fmic setup, so I don't believe any of them are leaking.

Oh this is the 6 Rokusek was posting about on FB. I noticed Downmented's turbo setup on it

Yessir, he's local and has done a lot of the work (and one of the best guys I've ever known!), same with @danosrk;

Found a blown o-ring on the BPV, missing purge valve on the intake manifold, and possibly a leak between the turbo -> DP.. so ordered a new o-ring, gasket/v-band clamp for the turbo -> dp.. and will be looking in the garage for the purge valve. Hopefully this will fix the leaks
