Re: Matt O's S&N Fab Buggy Updates & KOH Prep/Rebuild

I dropped it off with Al for exhaust today. He has some good ideas for it, gonna sound wicked I think! Also gonna get him to change the cam to save me some time. He has a really nice shop, tons of cool stuff around there. His personal rig is really damn cool, lots of nice parts on it!

So much for Crawlin, rock bouncin here I come. Off with the stickies and helllloooo 44's.

Your in denial MattO, the force is too strong.

Re: Matt O's Buggy Updates & Essentially Offroad KOH Rebuild & Prep

I just wanna listen to mine idle all day, it has a nice lope now! The exhaust will be killer, big Al does great work that is a fact. It is cool to have someone as excited as you about the changes to your rig ;D

The water pump had ruined seals and that caused the bearings to go bad again. They are warranting the work for me and told me the debris is getting in through the weep holes and messing up the seals. They said I can silicone those holes up since I am getting it dirty all the time.

Mountainside is gonna be fun, gonna get the CPU flashed after that ride to help with the new mods

Re: Matt O's Buggy Updates & Essentially Offroad KOH Rebuild & Prep

Holy Crap, all I can say is WOW! I still don't have a water pump, but from pulling it off and on the trailer it is nuts. It has a lot of low end punch and it sounds downright nasty at idle.

The exhaust that Al did is really nice. All mandrel bends, two straight into one with no restriction. 2.5" at the headers to 3" and out a round magnaflow stainless muffler, with a stainless turndown tip. It is all tucked up in the belly and exits just past the skid. Completeley removable with a couple bolts, since I want to coat it all down the road. I will get some pics up ASAP. If you ever need exhaust work I would recommend Al Raven to anyone. Attention to detail and work are top notch.

The computer is not tuned yet, and will not be before Mountainside, but that should add even more.

Re: Matt O's Buggy Updates & Essentially Offroad KOH Rebuild & Prep

Matt, you did the cam with the stock lifters, correct? Any special break-in instructions?

 

[BamaTJ]

Re: Matt O's Buggy Updates & Essentially Offroad KOH Rebuild & Prep

Al had asked me to take some pics of the exhaust, finally got around to it.

All madrel bent, this is the front

Bolt in flange, so I can remove the whole setup with ease

This is where 2 go to 1. This is a straight dump into the main pipe, no angle and a straight through design. Nice execution

Headers I put on

Stainless Magnaflow muller, with 3" stainless turndown! Dat's right!!! Very clean work and it is up out of the way

This has nothing to do with this, but I had to throw this pic in
Dat's riiiiiiight!

Re: Matt O's Buggy Updates & Essentially Offroad KOH Rebuild & Prep

video!! or or

whats the consensus on which magnaflow to run? I am considering buying some headers later on this spring and getting my exhaust done up right. its decent, but needs more flow.

Re: Matt O's Buggy Updates & Essentially Offroad KOH Rebuild & Prep

nice job AL
will have to redo mine one day when the coils get put on the rear

Re: Matt O's Buggy Updates & Essentially Offroad KOH Rebuild & Prep

honestly just constructive critisism, but what good is running the two pipes together at the drivers side header doing and then NOT going to three inch right there... you essentially have two pipes running through one two and a half inch pipe the way they merge at the drivers collector.... if three inch was used further down the system then it is simply for looks... and that doesnt look like mandrel bent pipe to me, it is more than suffecient, but looks like it was just bent on a regular bender....

Re: Matt O's Buggy Updates & Essentially Offroad KOH Rebuild & Prep

Can't run 3" where the two come together, not enough room. It is about 1/8" from hitting the upper link at full compression where it is now. My setup is a tough one becaue of the lack of space on the driver's side.

If you were not so far away and I had a free weekend you would of done it!

Anyways I am happy with the looks and the sound. Gonna have it coated at some point. Sounds pretty good to me. Much more aggressive. The computer without a flash hates life with the new cam. It will make it one ride, then it will get sent to Jim's Perf

I was wondering about that. Are you just going to send the specs to Jim and he will tune the comp? Looking good dude. Stoked to see it coming together so nice. Wish you were coming to RC with us.

Yeah Jim has done a few tunes for the 5.7 with Ramjet cam, so he has the program on lock. I just can't justify the KOH stuff with a new baby on the way. You guys will have a blast!

Re: Matt O's Buggy Updates & Essentially Offroad KOH Rebuild & Prep

Made a few more small upgrades, actually if these problems would have presented themselves prior to KOH then we would of done really damn well. Oh well, live and learn I guess.

My fan was wired backwards and was not designed to spin that way, so the motor gave up. I thought the fan was SPAL before, turns out it wasn't. It is now. Went with a 16" SPAL Puller that puts out 2500 CFM. Really nice unit.

Also I swapped to PSC Steering because my system was mismatched and honestly I have had better luck with PSC in the past. Moved my resevoir to right on top of the pump, kept my lines and cooler. Steering is super now. Resevoir is WAY bigger and the feed line is about 6" long now. Jamie and I took it for a joy ride on Tuesday, wow it is fast!!! I will get some pics up
