Looks better in person. I was messing around tonight for the first time in MS. I got 2nd gear pulling pretty smooth. Before it was jerky as hell.

I got my gauge pods today I just need to wire them in. I have the one around the cluster.

Today I ordered a stage 4 clutchmasters clutch (non-modular) and I got a piston and rod keychain.

All from modern. I ordered 79# injectors. Yesterday I ordered all new couplers.

Im taking my flywheel to be machined today I hope. Im going to order some bolts for the flywheel today.

Im thinking about tunning at 21 but I dunno

Sorry for not updating in awhile Im not on here much. I have the clutch it, gauges are done. Not sure when its going to get tuning, hopfully next month.

I messed up the radiator and fan. I just ordered new ones, just a stock radiator. The fan is a slim one that im going to mount on the other side of the radiator. Also ordered a MBC and new plugs.

I was messing around trying to fix my speedo gauge and fried my MS. I replaced the ecu and was driving it around all day. Got home tried to start it up a little later and found out I fried the coil driver. They are prone to burning up. I ordered the same poop chip before I found the better ones. They wouldnt cancel my order

Car runs great I beat a new Mustang GT and a 400 stroker.

If you want check out my project log on neons.org to be more updated. Heres some random pictures......

#79lb injectors (830cc) Next to a stock srt injector

My tach output I put together. Ran off my coil

Pic of my MBC

Installed my radiator and fan.

Heres a couple pics of my son after we got back from Smackdown here in my little shitty town. Denny is a friend we have made fun of his mom since middle school

Im open to comments or suggestions. Good or bad

I got it tuned for 18psi yesterday. Im very pleased with it. Im going to have someone do some fine tuning on it. Im trying to get a video of it accelerating thats not shaky.

looks very good. Nice pickup and i like the progress so far.

Looks great man, love where the MBC is.

Did you have to take out your bumper support to fit your fan there?

99dohcneon · Post by **99dohcneon** » Thu Apr 23, 2009 5:45 pm

Thanks guys. Im loving the car is a absolute blast to drive.

I moved the fan to the back of the radiator (as seen in the newer pic) The previous owner took out the support for the intercooler I think.

I end up have to cut a square hole to shove the mbc through some b/c If I unthreaded the screw out the mbc would fall through. Its in a good spot to get to though.

Got it tuned some more. Its getting close to done. Im trying to finish it myself. Its been raining here for the past week or so. I have a problem (go figure) Head MAY be warped. I have a exhaust leak somewhere. Its not in the exhaust and I just replaced the gasket between the turbo and the downpipe.

The car pulls very hard. Driving the car is a blast. Added a little timing is SOOO much smoother in boost. Im going to have to get a different MBC the lowest it goes is 15psi and thats too much for normal driving. Spins tires so bad. Spins in 3rd unles its warmer out. I need to get LSD but I dont have money to throw around right now. So Ill get one someday hopefully.

99dohcneon · Post by **99dohcneon** » Tue May 19, 2009 2:53 pm

I got the belt on I just need to retime it. Its off a tooth. I ordered timing covers for 32 shipped. I also picked up new hallman in cabin boost controller for cheap off ebay. Also picked up a couple used 17s. Right now after I get it tuned I well be done with everything motor and performance wise for now.

Im wanting to sandblast the intake manifold and see how it looks. If it looks bad Ill repaint it. Im going to paint the brake calipers red. I would like to focus on cleaning up the car some more. Fix the wiring all the way.

Dont know if you guys have been following my thread in the pits. I just had sugery on my ACL. They took a hamstring graph to repair it. I can barely walk. I had it about 5 days ago. I have to keep a machine on my knee almost all the time or my knee swells really bad. So Im off work for probably 3 more months. So I have alot of time to think about what I want to work on and probably wont ever get it done. Hopefully within the next couple weeks Ill be able to get on my feet some more.

Sorry for not updating in a while I keep up with it at neons.org Im not on here that much.

The valves on the intake side hit the pistons

Well my knee is better im able to work on the car. I took alot off it. Looks like it will never run again. But it will.... I got a few pics. I cleaned the engine bay up. Not all the way done but getting close. Im going to remove all the wiring thats not needed. Clean up everything really good. Repaint the engine bay. Whatever else I can do. Im hoping to get money soon and put this bad boy back together. Im also going to look for a new home for the oil filter.

I just starting painting today. Its look great! Cant wait to get it looking good. Going to be clean when I get done with it.

99dohcneon · Post by **99dohcneon** » Fri Jun 26, 2009 1:34 am

Im working on the clear coat now. Im going to coat it good so I dont have to worry about it chipping off. Ill post up some pics soon. Im going to wet sand it with 2000 grit when Im done clearing it.

Iv also stripped the V/C, Im thinking about leaving it that way maybe polishing it. I cleaned the turbo really good. Everything is actualy looking the way I wanted it to. I removed extra fuse box and wired everything into the factory PDC. Its looks a ton better.

Im hoping to also paint the block and trans. Ill post some pics of the bay when its done.

Thanks for looking! Any questions ask away.....
