AR CATLESS Downpipe in hand. Total cost. $522 with shipping from vivid racing.

 

Ordered the Wagner competition FMIC. $627.20 with shipping.
In hand, TBD

 

Are you going to throw some meth at this puppy?

 

Absolutely, wouldn't have it any other way. Would like to try to put a halo system on it as well.

 

I love this thread!

New frontier being established and I'm certain diehard mini people are following this engine build closely me included.

If the results are worth the money you'll have folks throwing money at you to build them something similar!

 

Everything I'm doing is stuff that can be bought only custom part is the ported head. I'm gonna make a new thread with all the mods listed with place of purchase, cost and quality of service.
If anyone has an idea of were to buy a halo/FMIC Spray system. Feel free to post a link.

 

I will be giving a big thank you to
JERRY at EUROTECHS in Tempe arizona. One of the nicest most helpful people with hands on real world experience I've came across yet. Without the intentions of trying drive the parts he sells down your throat just to make a buck. He's a manic dealer and I would encourage anyone to use him.
HENRY at WAGNER TUNING. Extremely helpful and knowledgeable with FMIC's and what to do with them.
NICK at MANIC TUNING. Gave me loads upon loads of tips and advice as to what and what not to do to help keep the tuning to be easy and not going thru countless back and forth ecu changes.
Those guys mentioned were so helpful you couldn't even imagine. The rest of the companies I bought things from will be mentioned at a later date.

 

Halo systems seem to be pretty affordable. Dual system ( water and co2 ) is looking pretty good.

 

N18 exhaust manifold from local mini dealer $394.00 my cost. And alittle elbow grease for polishing will be required

 

YES !!! Ian from Turner Motorsports called. Cams are in the USA and being mailed.

 

I have been lurking here from day one. For me this thread is like being in a candy store....... mouth watering eye popping and quite envious. A big Thanks.

 

Took tonight off. My head was at a machine shop to get valves and seats cut. Since he took to long to even start it. I got it back. Took it to my old boss and it'll be done next wednsday. Parts are starting to roll in now. JERRY, your next on the hit list buddy.

 

New intercooler

 

Wagner

 

Nice 1 piece cast tank.

 

Other end

 

Backside. It's alittle heavier. Unless your weight conscious for all out racing. Who cares. I can only imagine it'll be pretty durable on the street.

 

And the AR Downpipe.

 

CAMSHAFTS FINALLY ARRIVED !!! Ordered them back in November. So if your considering putting camshafts in your car. Allow for a lengthy wait. They gotta be made over In Germany then shipped over. It took 3 1/2 months to get. No matter who you order them from, the length of time is not there fault. So be patient with them. Now I hope the wait is well worth it.
SO !, should I use both 248-10.7mm lift cams or use 1 252 cam on one side and 1 248-10mm lift cam on the other ?? Ohhhh decisions decisions.

 

who made the cams?

 

Schrick. Is there another cam manufacturer ?

 

I only knew of them but didn't know if you found another supplier.

 

Nah. Just them. $951.40 shipped to my door.

 

g'damn must be some german uber-steel. I'm really curious what kind of gains they make

 

Won't be able to give a number for just cams. I've got WAYYYYYY to many mods done to even guess.
