Getting the car ready for the Miatapallozza event next year. Presently working on the LS3 coil packs mount and with Rick of Firecore50 for a new set of race plug wires for my street/drag race engine, short video of the car running too.

So I finally received the custom spark plug wires set I got from Firecore50 from my Build. They are perfect! and after all the great reviews from the Mustang and Chevy community I am eager to compare them against the Magnecor wires from Flyin' Miata. Next job is to wire the LS3 coil packs in sequential mode for the Hydra and powdercoat the brackets in wrinkle black.
The car is already alive, I just don't have time for personal projects due to my present employment.

Well nothing much to update except the car didn't make it to Miatapalooza. In fact, the engine is presently out and rebuilt with brand new pistons that will yield more power and torque overall. After conversation with Luiggi at Olympic Motorsports we estimate the NB will be done sometime in June.
Upgrades includes Stage 2 Boundary Engineering oil pump
Brand New Wiseco pistons
500hp intercooler with v-band aluminum piping
The oil pan oil is now improved with Canton oil dipstick unit to prevent any future oil leaks.

TIME TO UPDATE. My son is 15 years old now and this project still alive. I have been very busy. Together with my dad I purchased a house. It has carport and huge backyard.
As my visions and dreams slowly become reality so is my dream to have this build done. This the short block as of today with the Wiseco high compression pistons, Boundary Engineering oil pump Stage II. Notice I am using Pauter Rods, the block was decked to help seal the cylinder head better with the cometic gasket.

Rebuilt Engine back in the car. Working on designing aluminum intercooler pipes with HDI clamps I bought from Australia.

Well guys I looked back at the very first day I created this build thread that was 7/3/2013, time has passed now my son's will be 16 years old on this August 14, 2018 this month. I plan to take the car and do a birthday party at the track with my friends, son's friends and neighbors. The car is in the final stages of the build although I have plans to adapt a badass transmission. Here are pictures of the latest development in preparation for my son's 16 year old b-day. I still have to complete some minor things mostly finish some detail in the engine bay, more pics to follow when the I/C pipes return from powder coating.

Nice work Eli! Details on fancy connectors? Have seen them before and my understanding is they are essentially mechanical connections but that is all I know.

Getting prepped for massive boost?
They are HDI clamps imported from Australia, they have a patent design can withhold 450 pounds of boost and yes the NB is gonna be my sleeper drag car, dyno days videos coming soon.
