Trackspeed build plan
#81
So I reclocked the turbo so that the flapper arms falls off pretty easy but I have to apply pressure down for it to happen. To get it any straighter on the arm I would have to bend the actual bracket it is attached to. I hope I am explaining this right. If I could figure out the video posting from photo bucket it would be a lot easier.

I told him to pressurize it too.
Build is going well, car will be cool.
Don't be so sure about blowing the motor though. You can keep it alive!
The new housings are like a mix of the nice investment cast and ugly *** sand cast. I should have brought mine over.

Testing the actuator is on the list. The list is actually longer than I would like but each day I get a few things done. I didn't realize there was so much evolution of the EFR casting. I wouldn't mind seeing a few for comparison. That said I don't give a **** if the casting looks like lava rock as long as it works well.

The new housings are shell-mold cast, which is the same process as what we used on our manifolds.

It could be. But id rather keep the heads. I have one that had rock knock. Crank would need to be looked at. Other one has a cracked oil pan but could be made to work.
