guineag60 Posted April 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 I'm surprised you didn't have don at slowhawk build your engine Well im a VW Tech by trade so putting everything together is easy for me. But Slowhawk is not a Machine shop and Don would have just sub'd the machine work out. I will be going back to Slowhawk to get it retuned for sure though. Ill leave that up to the pro. Don does know his stuff though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guineag60 Posted April 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 I am glad to see it coming together for you Mark. Sorry to hear about spun bearing and the haul to NYC. This is looking real nice, and I think it will be a helluva DD! My truck will be up in May as I am moving. As I said a long time ago, British Beer Works in late May or June is on my plans. I will be going their after I have some services done at Herb Connolly. Thanks man. Yeah i cant wait to drive this thing again, It's gonna be a beast. BBC is 5 min away from me just let me know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guineag60 Posted May 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 Well after a long time this thing is finally alive. The TBSS intake and T-body are not on now because it is gonna need a retune and i have not got the x-link yet either. The driveability of it now with the stock intake is pretty good but it def needs a retune for cold start and some good surging. I havent got on it yet all the way yet but i have not been shy either. It moves very well though and sounds awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadowsniper3006 Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 What's the cr on the motor? What tire size? Stock rims? Are you going to dyno it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f1ss Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 Keep up the great work Mark. I would love to see this tear down the track when its ready Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guineag60 Posted May 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 Not to sure on the c/r but I think it's around 11-1. Stock rims for now on 275's. I would like to dyno it if I can find a large enough awd dyno. I don't really want to pull the front shaft. And thank you 03mass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
