Still it sucks when that is all the wording I am getting the most when I am doing this project and rarely I get any kudos on it or any-type of encouragement.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>My career is in IT with Desk Side hardware \/ software stuff and I actually hate it. But I also work 10 &#8211; 12 hour days sometimes even longer depending on the project so I have little time to start with then other people who do not respect your projects nor hobbies and even side jobs and always demanding me to drop everything.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It only takes a bit of negativity to ruin a project, this project is tarnished as it labels me as a stupid person and it might have a cool factor to it until the story hits from others about who did what and not knowing who I am and what I do already.&nbsp; So there is no point to keep this project going, what this project is going to get is a completely new motor and start over keeping everything under-wraps until I am done and it is driving and I am back at the track again with out the fear of being ridiculed because of this person did this or that person did that when all I did was ask for some assistance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Recap : Main issues *overheating* &#8211; full rebuild except ROD \/ Main bearings.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>2015 she went down took time ordering the parts and rebuilding with trouble shooting in the end.&nbsp;\n<ul>\n<li>end of 2015 first fireup but had issues but it worked nevernorless as I learned the new setup.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>2016 troubleshooting&nbsp;\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li>First went in full troubleshooting went from 500cfm carb to 350cfm,&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>Second, acquired VG33 heads and replaced the VG30 heads thinking that my heads are messed up&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>Idle was hard to lock down and couldn&#8217;t get it out of being super lean<\/li>\n<li>Went back to EFI&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>Found out it was a timing issue with the super lean problems<\/li>\n<li>fixed timing and still had overheating issues<\/li>\n<li>Installed Carb when I did that Ian shows up with Waylon the same day I reinstalled carb\n<ul>\n<li>He tuned it in 15 minutes (because it wasn&#8217;t far off)&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>still had overheating issues<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>2017 fixed overheating issues with gauge\n<ul>\n<li>retuned the setup again just slightly to improve the pull more.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>May 21st I went and blew up the motor at the track becuase I failed to do the rod \/ main bearings.<\/li>\n<li>June acquired replacement motor<\/li>\n<li>Reinstalled everything and used the rebuilt vg30 heads instead<\/li>\n<li>Everything works again,&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>forgot the clutch release bushing&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>spends 1 day pulling and installing the bushing&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>2018 &#8211; everything is fine.&nbsp;\n<ul>\n<li>Refresh the suspension finally removed the old s12 stuff and installed the s13.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>preps for the new season for vegasdrift.<\/li>\n<li>Wants to toss this all in the garbage and gives up and just drift the daily Z.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, it was a fun project.
