Joel's 2003 FS635 Evo build thread

So, this will be the rebuild thread. I bought a "complete" car (LINK TO THREAD) which ended up requiring a complete restoration. The only thing i kept from the car I bought was the chassis, transmission, exhaust mani, and TC. EVERYTHING else is now replaced.

Joel's mod list:
  • Buschur FS635 cast kit
  • ID2000 injectors
  • Full Blown double pumper -10 feed -8 return
  • Aeromotive FPR and fuel rail
  • Buschur Race FMIC
  • Buschur UICP/LICP
  • Tial BOV
  • Buschur mini-battery kit
  • Exedy Triple cerametallic clutch
  • Wilson W2.4 custom intake manifold for the 2.3L
  • 65mm ported TB
  • Buschur twin-muffler v-band exhaust
  • Buschur 2.3L
  • Shwitzer stage 5 head with FP 4/5 staggered cams
  • ARP L19 head studs
  • CBRD Radiator
I know I am probably missing some things but i'll add as I remember.

Some parts pictures:






Wilson intake manifold (awesome piece! thanks 9sec9/Indy)








The ID2000 (thanks Tony @ T1!) / Full Blown / Aeromotive Fuel setup:






The turbo setup (buschur cast FS635 kit + shearer mani)





Buschur V-Band dual muffler exhaust (thanks Nick!)

intake mani is one of my favorite pieces. It is a work of art IMO.

a side by side comparison pic may be coming. it is actually quite different, especially in the plenum area.

I chose it because it has all the stock provisions AND has great power potential.

Yep. its cut open, and a bunch of work done, the plenum is enlarged, the port work is amazing. I hope Indy doesn't mind me telling what they all do, but you can tell the put a ton of work into them. Contact 9sec9 here on the forums for pricing

Motor is close to drop-in point.





Full blown double pumper install with -10 feed and -8 return. Turned out REALLY nice. i love doing fuel systems.

routed into the engine bay


shot where i took the lines up into the bay


full length shot


down from the pump (i bent the tab down, removed the stock lines, and it fit well)


clean routed


the full blown double pumper
