Well spring is almost here so I tore my car apart and started adding a couple parts. Last year after my dyno I added a Turbosmart actuator so I could run more than 28psi also a ported head with Supertech springs. I found a place that will deliver a barrel of E so I'll be jumping on that in April. My plan is to DD E35 and my meth. Kill tune will be between E47 and E70 depending on what I can get from my fuel system. HP goals are going to be shared on the dyno thread after they happen. With my current setup and E I will be able to run past the stock bottom end limits so I will be tuning on the dyno to achieve a specific number. I also wanted the new ZZP coil packs but they were out of stock so next order I'll get them and a set of Opels. I will also be doing a bunch of suspension work to aid in traction so I'll be posting those and a how to soon.

Well here's my first purchase of the season.



A set of ZZP Stg2 cams and new phasers since mine no longer fall the parked position.



On tear down I found I broke a lifter which is no big deal since I have a full other set but also the Stg2s come with their own. While the valve cover was off I retorqued the head studs.

I will be posting vids very soon here and borrowed Jon's GoPro so the vids should be nicer and not so shaky

Being looking forward to this

 

Well living in I wanted to wit to spend cash until I knew the roads would be clear. I forgot to mention I may be hitting the dyno in a couple weeks for kicks. I won't be shooting for my HP goal I have this year I'll just get it into the 5s

looks like some one is going to have fun this summer

 

Planning on it!! My friends have already been talking about lining me up some races

 

Nice i cant wait to see what you can get out of the car!!

 

So were the headstuds actually needing to be retorqued, or were you just checking for good measure?

 

I thought you were going with Nostrum energy injectors?

 

If it makes you feel any better the ZZP coil packs have been recalled lol

 

Fixed

I wanted to check since I'm turning up the power and they actually were a bit loose

I haven't heard anything new about them and I wanna see how Zack does with fueling he has lobe and Opels on 71 e47

Ya I heard this I'm happy I don't have to deal with all that but still do want a set

 

Cams are in timing is set just need to throw on timing cover and valve cover and do a log or 2.

 

Sweet can't wait to see what this thing does! I forsee slicks in your future lol

 

Yea the plan is 2 new nt01s then upgraded suspension followed by a pair or 17in slicks

 

I can't wait to see you break some hearts! Show em how a properly set-up balt can hook

 

You work fast man

 

I'll be running a set of air bags so i can basically lockout the rear suspension at the track but it can still be street driven with no issues. I plan on hitting up the 1/2 mile more than the 1/4 here too. See what kind of trap speeds I can hit

 

I took yesterday off because i had to grab a timing guide but this is the 4th time I've done work like this to a balt so it's pretty easy. Just taking a break to eat should only have an hour or so left to do

 

Lol you work on balts to much haha

 

Wish I was closer for him to work on mine lol

 

I think we all do haha

 

Yes I do!! Last 2 years I've done a big build on a balt that required pulling the engine. This year it'll be mine I pull.

 

This is why I'm slways working on a balt!!

 

You should move to Texas man just saying

 

Haha I could. I'll start by doing a tour next year after my build if it's possible.

 

Haha if you move here you can do all the mexico runs you want
