Jakee's 4.0 SOHC Build up discussion and motivation thread

7 second 0-60? Not bad at all. And that's just intake and exhaust right?

Yes - really just intake and exhaust so far. I've done some other really little things but...

Thanks for the stars! I want (5) when I post dyno sheets and time slips! And I plan on doing a summary at the very end showing everything I did, what worked and didn't...so on and so forth. Also, WHEN it is done, I'll have to thank JAH81592 for helping me out with his awesome tuning skills and expert advice. He's been down the road I'm going and has realy helped me fill in the blanks. To me, customer service is where it is.

Now I need an electric fan and pulleys.

I appreciate that, I really do. But I don't feel right about that. My money is being directed elsewhere at this time...A trip to PA is coming up in the next month and I need to save for that. Sort of sucks for my 'wants' but I have to do what I have to do. If I can squeeze in the Electric fan, I may do that before the trip. Then the pulley and finish the exhaust. Get me one of those worthless coil paks, ignition, headers, and then the tune. Dyno and see what I come up with. If the goal is not met, I'll have to make plans on how to meet it. Being it rebuild or what not. I'm hoping to get the HP goal WITHOUT the rebuild but I'm sure it's going to be pretty close.

Honestly, I've learned a heck of a lot since I made this goal. I'm learning not to look just at PEAK HP. To look more at what's going on throughout the RPM range. The bottom line is I want a faster X. Peak HP is good but if you can't use it on the street, you've accomplished nothing. Find the 'sweet spot' on your engine and work with it, not against it.

A lot of people in this forum think that if they test a mod, and it doesn't give them a certain amount of HP, then the mod is worthless. I don't think that's necessarily true. If the mod moved there 'sweet spot' to a point in the RPM range that's more useful on the street then they did something. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Got the Magno-Flow Y Pipe in....

 

[Jakee]

Totally off topic but take this as a warning...


Someone got ahold of my credit card info and charged a account at epassporte.com for a virtual VISA card. Thank goodness I caught this in the pending stage. Was able to cancel everything before any real damage took place.

Be careful.

 

[Jakee]

Nevermind, damage was done, I'm out 500$. This really sucks.

 

[aldive]

What credit card?

Most cards have a small amount that you are responsible for.

 

[spindlecone]

50 bux to be exact, on,M.C., Visa,Amex and discover. been there, done that

 

[Jakee]

It's actually a master check card. I'm pretty sure I'll get it back but it sucks.

I've filed reports all over the place.

 

[aldive]

Good luck resolving the problem.

What exactly do you mean by that aldive.

 

[aldive]

What exactly do you mean by that aldive.

Getting your $500 back.

 

[Jakee]

Getting your $500 back.

I hope I find out who did it.

 

[spindlecone]

maybe time to get back on track, and back to jakees buildup
and how in the hell did this thread jump to a 4 star rating?

Cuss everyone knows just like I know that my goals will be met. You're the only nahsayer out there. You don't believe in a word I say, and quite frankly it's more than likely cuss you don't trust your self. Don't hate me spindle. And stay off the drugs.

 

[Turdle]

So, what is the next step towards your goal?
I am curious

Here's what I left...

Finish the front part of the exhaust. (Currently doing that)
Electric fan. (Probably next)
UnderDrive crank Pulley.
Coil.
Headers.
Tune from James (JAH with the STS turbo)

As of now I'm running a 7.2 0-60. The weather is probably what did this cuss I've really not done anything different. I expect to be in the 14's with all the mods I have left. Will it get me over 210 to the rears N/A? It's going to be close.

 

[aldive]

Jakee, have you decided on which e fan you will be using?
