Ridiculous 1000HP 7M Street MK3 Build
- Thread starter NegativeGeForce
- Start date
Clutch looks familiar..
I am looking forward to seeing how this performes, only thing I would suggest is an additional oil drain in the head but that is only if it is going to live at the higher rpms.

Wait, im confused. You had your trans built by Jack's. This thread says Jack's doesnt service r154's anymore? http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?197318-Who-really-rebuilds-R154s
He probably got his before last June? Or at least put the order in before they stopped doing them.
Beautiful engine, btw!
There's a 1j in my bay but I love seeing mean 7Ms.

Yeah, I think he sent his in before mine. Ours were probably the last Jack will be doing, although Jack has my old one, so he may have a built one for sale. (Once he rebuilds the one I swapped)
Took 8 months for them to get to mine. They still build r154s if youre patient and can wait for parts etc. People kept complaining how it took forever so they took it off their site.

but if you search you can still find the stage 3 kit and i'm sure if you call on a good day you'll get help.
My motor's finished so now i get to sink 3-4k into a twin disk and a rebuild myself (third is not the easiest gear to slip into and down shifting into first whines)
oh and then there's a diff that needs rebuilding......

So the plan is to fire this thing up in about a month. I think it's a reasonable goal. I have all the parts. Alot of powder coating, wiring and welding is still needed but it's gonna be doable.
mounted my racepak dash. still have to create a somewhat reasonable harness for it. I plan to use the old clock buttons to navigate through the racepak dash screens.
I also got my lazy ass up and did some crap I've been putting off. I really needed to check clearances for the oil pan. It looks like I won't need to cut anything so Im really happy.
I ordered another $2500 worth of parts. These are the last parts I need to order to get this thing running. This includes an ETS 5" intercooler, Tial 50mm BOV, pipe bends, magnafuel fuel pump, regulator and misc lines/fittings.
Stuff thats still left...

Stuff thats still left...
- Send subframe, control arms and misc for powder coating
- Press in new nylon bushings into control arms
- Finish trimming crank scraper
- Install driftmotion upgraded oil pump and arizona hard line upgrade
- Final install of oil pan
- Button up engine accessories
- Remove W58, driveshaft, old intercooler, clean engine bay
- Mockup 5" ETS intercooler
- Swap 87 subframe with new 89+ powdercoated subframe
- Drop motor in
- Complete engine/body harness wiring
- Install new brake master cylinder, brake master upgrade
- Install sumped gas tank
- Mount Magnafuel pump, regulator, filters and lines
- Fabricate 3.5" exhaust
- Fabricate intercooler pipes 3" turbo -> ic -> 3.5" to throttle body
- Run all the vacuum lines
- Install koyo radiator and wire flex-a-lite fans
- Cross my fingers and turn the key
When you say nylon bushings, why did you decide to use that material? I can't imagine it'll hold up to lateral shocks like poly would, unless it's a pure track car
Got the pan done. Heat dispersant ceramic exterior and oil shedding coating on the interior. Just need to swap the subframe then I can throw the motor in finally. Soo close but so far.
The pan is Dooley Enterprises.
Not much for an update. Been distracted again with life. Got the intercooler and I tasked out all remaining work to get this pile of crap running. About 110 hrs of work remaining
.
Also made a new trigger wheel design. I think I'm going to try this one instead of the 36 tooth. I made 6 of them if anyone wants one. Installed pics will come soon.
