I want to start a thread with pictures from work. I won't name where I work, since we are not a vendor, and I will try to keep our name/logo out of all teh pictures.
did some dyno runs on a local Z31 One of the owner's 800+ HP drag EK. This was about 3 months ago. He broke 4-5 transmissions, and 2 engines this year (one had a Dart block. He put a hole in the side of it a 45psi)
Thanks. I wish I could have snapped a pic of the EG 4dr we dyno'd. From the outside, it looked like any other ricer; R34 style front bumper and a buddy club kit. But, under the hood was some legit JDM parts! Top Fuel, Carbing, SARD, spoon, JUN, Toda... Pretty impressive. Made me think that this would be a true 'jdm' car. I know they're into body kits and american style. Maybe it will come back...
oh yeah this is what im talking about! this and cell phone pics are gonna be my main reason for checking in now lol good shit
Holy shit this thread is badass, keep it alive. That is truly motivational! I dont think I would call it work if I was there, hell id scrub the floors for free just to look at those.
not a whole lot going on this week. Thursday I was diagnosing a RB26 in a S13. It kept burning up coil packs. I determined the problem was in the wiring that we had someone do for us, so I pulled the harness back out and sent it out to them. I'll try to get pics of the RB swapped S13 when I work on it next. Customer/friend who stopped in. He recently bought the car and was figuring out why he was having no heat. The lack of coolant reservoir was determined to be the problem. haha Some powdercoating we had done no tripod, so these were pretty blurry. sorry
not trying to thread jack, or to sound stupid, but what are the fittings on some of these valve covers? like the one above has one. i see it all the time and am just curious as to exactly what the benefits are
It's for an oil catch can. Do a google search on it and you will find endless information explained better than I can
update from stuff today Some powder coating we had done recently RB26DETT (Still twin turbo) in an S13. This car is FUN to drive hsnap: Golden Eagle Sleeved 88mm CP Pistons Eagle Rods Supertech Valvetrain Blox B cams Balance Blueprinted Garrett GT40R 119 backend Custom Sidewinder T4 manifold Jet Hot coating Return fuel system Walbro pump
I played with that RB swapped S13 once again today. Holy crap is that car fun 4th gear, medium amount of throttle, back kicks out on a straight, dry road Quite possibly $85 for any color. About a week turnaround
I did some more promo pics last week. I will be off until the week after New Years since the days I work happen to fall on the days we are closed. Arias pistons for B18 (these 10.8:1 pistons are going into that 700+hp drag EK!!!) and for K20 (and for the other owner's K20) Once my 2ZZ valvetrain and head studs come in, I will be stopping by to snap some pics of the Eagle rods that we will be doing combo deals with
