802SHO 2010 Build

[802SHO]

Brad is ready. He picked my wastegate springs to be 11.6 and hopes to not need to change that later on. The in tank pump will be on that 8 gang switch panel controller. The HPFP will be closed with the engine off and I’ll be able to pressurize the regulator and physically read the gauge and verify my target psi to the HPFP before starting the engine. Later I won’t need to read the gauge anymore but the sequence will be to turn on the in tank fuel pump, scavenger pump and then start the engine. I’ll need to do some idling data logs.

I checked again with my engine builder, Matt Pohnan this morning about oil to use and for how long. I’m going to use Driven BR40 conventional break-in 10w40 oil for first start, and any idling data logs and leak checks. When ready for a drive I’ll change the oil again with same oil. Recommended to do several hot and cold cycles of the engine and low-mid load for up to 500 miles. When ready to go, change oil to Driven XP7 10w-40 Semi Synthetic Racing Oil. Oil filters will either be Motorcraft or K&N.

Transfluid sticking with Mercon LV. Anti freeze will be Motorcraft Yellow. PTU and RDU Redline LWSP gear oil, stocked up on that last year. The engine oil, coolant and trans fluid I just bought. Go time is on the horizon LOL!

Keep me updated, I will come out for this.

All that tedious work cleaning it up and painting underneath really paid off. It looks clean AF under there.

I’ve been sharing pics and progress updates with a couple of my car buddies. Everyone is impressed with the build and rooting for the completion.

Keep chipping away at it man!

best of luck, hoping for successful launch and re-entry.

Brad made me a new config file of parameters to monitor and custom tune that’s going to awaken this sleeping beauty
He noted that fueling with the 10-12 ECU is simple in comparison to 13+. He deleted some things with fueling, had me update my handheld device. Gave him my tire revolution speed to adjust Speedo, and with the motor build he inquired what rpm do I want to rev to and what are my power goals. I asked if we could rev to 7,000 and I said 750+. Letting go of magic numbers, we’re going to up the rpm from 6,200 to about 200 rpm at a time until it doesn’t make any sense to increase it based on the logs/performance.

Getting closer! Wastegates are ready with 11.6 psi springs installed. Air reference goes in the bottom of the wastegate and vents out the top, water ports left open and all other air ports plugged
Remade my rollover vent hose bc at the time I didn’t have a -8AN PTFE 90 fitting just straight fittings, added the 90 to the hose off the fill plate
Installed my single shroudless Mishimoto fan (with no shroud the hood vents will extract more air and add more cooling, recommended by RaceLouvers)
I’ll have manual control of it. Let the car warmup then I’ll turn it on and leave it on while the car is on. Should be much quieter than OEM, and will be nice to be able to have the fan running when the engine is off at the drag strip.

I installed the fender exit exhaust trim pieces.
Going to need to use my dremel to trim the expansion of the rivets that breaches the exit hole.

Time to wrap the manifold exhaust pipes that lead to the turbos. Bleed the brakes (nothing in the system so Dot 4 will be 100%). Install rear fender liners. Add fluids to the car. Radiator is done. It’s ready to take all fluids. Put rear bumper back on, cut speed holes in it. Install fender exit exhaust and wastegates. Wheels back on, air up the struts, lower the car down to the ground. Roll away from the lift, finish wiring with all doors fully open. Finish my exterior wrap. Some stuff I can mess with during the winter. I want to start this thing and drive it. Fingers crossed for a smooth break-in and no snowfall so that I get to get on it a little before taking the winter off!

Very cool. But where are the flames? I was told there were going to be flames!!

No fun yet. Started a datalog before I fired up and goal was to log it idling to warmup.

Cool. Good idea to go one step at a time. She must sound real nasty even at idle.

I feel like this may be a fake post...I think a video is required as proof of authenticity!

Bad....a s s
I know I/we have said this many times, thanks for sharing the journey and vision.

The forum is a better place because of the inovation and detailed posts that share all the information, people and places that you guys have reached out to in order for these builds to be done. I say this in this thread, but I holds true for all of you that have put time, effort, resesrch and the stepping-up helping each other to get these types of builds done. Really reminds me of the early days with the Gen 1/2/3 guys...

I look forward to the first drive video, mainly for the ear to ear grin and the little squeal/giggle that will surely happen.

I love sharing all the detailed info here bc I agree, the forums are where you get the real help and useful information. You won’t get that level of detail, knowledge or even know what it feels like to be part of a large community of ppl all helping each other on Facebook. I wish you could upload video here even if it was contained to within 20-30 seconds of video. Like uploading a pic, upload a short video.
