Nice pics, she definitely isn't too far from where you want her to be. The bodywork will be a breeze compared to what I went through though, that is for damn sure lol. Is that your cat in the window? What's his/her name? Were you serious about the closest supermarket store being 55 miles away bro....?

project89

iTrader: (1)

lol thats my neighbors cat,and yeah its 53 miles each way to the store, my town has 2 gas stations a truck stop, a gun shop,pawn shop,bank and a tiny lil food store place , the food store isnt even worth going to in town here.

yeah i only need a tiny bit of body filler for the one dent and the 2 holes i need to fill then the rest is just all sanding

hell the doors dont even sag u can open and close them with one finger

Manual windows? Dave, in your opinion, what do you feel is the strongest coating out there for cast iron manifolds....

project89

iTrader: (1)

nope car has power windows, for something u can do urself just get bbq grill paint, or spemd the money and have them ceramic coated

Street Lethal

iTrader: (16)

Haven't kept an ear to the pavement regarding ceramic coating, so I need to research what is the strongest out there. I just finished brazing a set of turbo flanges and wastegates on those exhaust manifolds that I showed you in another thread, as that is why I asked you how yours were clocked a few posts earlier. These are now finished, but I'm now looking to hit them with some form of coating to keep temps of the cast iron itself way down. So many out there to freaking choose from though....

picked up my oil feed and return lines today ,still need to install those
ive been working on the wiring , need to run out and get some wire clamps and new loom, but first i need to make 4 connections on the dizzy and run power to the coil,

after that i should ust be able to put the injector harness back on and this thing should fire with the exception fans not being wired and also the temp and oil presure gauges

oh yeah almost forgot need to cut the airtube off for the cat that u can see tucked down near the starter, after that alls thats left is t hook the downpipes upto the y pipe

project89

iTrader: (1)

well i just ordered one of these from rossmachine


still on the lookout for a good deal on 2 160# injectors though

Drac0nic

If you have the 65s I'd think that's more than enough to get you started up and running. No need for the TBI addon yet.

project89

iTrader: (1)

that mounts to the charge pipe infront of the tb, i will be using it with homemade map based injector driver to control the pulsewidth vs boost.
this will be used exclusively for methanol injection

project89

iTrader: (1)

ok so instead of runing my pipes over the battery im going to go down infront of the waterpump had to clearance the lower rad support to fit the pipes



and a merge pipe i made out of 2 45* bends

i really need to get a bottle of gas for my mig welder or a bottle of argon for my tig machine
aluminized pipe + flux = really shitty looking

sailtexas186548

iTrader: (2)

wow that IS an ugly weld LOL, even for flux core on aluminized pipe, what were your settings for that weld?

project89

iTrader: (1)

low range and 5, yeah it is ugly but i think its the cheap *** napa welding wire im using.nothin the grinder cant take care of lol
im actually ashamed of it considerin im a welder by trade and have over 16 years experiance,lol hell back home in my shop i was welding together funycar and dragster chassis.
i also used a sawzall to make my cuts so one side was off a lil bit.that left an 1/8th inch gap on the one section, which prolly had more to do with the ugly weld then anything.

were there was no gap it welded pretty good

sailtexas186548

iTrader: (2)

I weld mostly flux core, and I've found for thin aluminized pipe I usually go 75% power and a slow wire feed, and basicallydo big tacks over and over and over to keep it looking OK. I need to hook the bottle back up, fluxcore is just so cheap and easy though....

So your planning on running two 160lb injectors just for meth? I'm not very familiar with meth injection but that seems like wayyyy overkill?

project89

iTrader: (1)

im going beyond just meth injection,the large injectors will really allow me to crank up the meth and dial back my port injectors.

say if i wanted to 70% gas and 30% meth or 80/20 60/40 % etc etc

this will be used for high boost at the track on pump gas

junkcltr

iTrader: (1)

That weld doesn't look that bad in terms of what it trying to accomplish. Yeah, if that was a roll cage then it would be a problem. It fills the hole.

The build is looking great. You have more patients than I do cutting all that pipe with a sawzall.

project89

iTrader: (1)

getting closer
need to figure out how the hell im going to get an air filter on the ds turbo :bang: :bah:





if i can work a deal for a 72 chevelle i found the turbo system is going to come off the iroc after i run the iroc in the 150mph club this september at the boneville salt flats

Street Lethal

iTrader: (16)

Your worse than I am lol....

project89

iTrader: (1)

lol but this is a really nice chevelle,if i get it ill just drp the turbo system on the chevelle and run the iroc n/a

project89

iTrader: (1)

as of 10:30 pm it lives,
i have a bad miss at idle to 2,000 rpms that i need to figure out why
also need to get new feed lines ones i had made up leak
and need to get a new thermostat housing,and wire up the electric fans

besdies that i need to brace my cut down alt top bracket,and also fab a brace that bolts from the ds header to the back of the ps pump so it wont throw the belt off

Street Lethal

iTrader: (16)

Vids, vids.... vids!

project89

iTrader: (1)

lol they are comming i just got back from napa to order a new thermostat housin it will be here in 3 days, cant really run the car without it as i have no way to circulate water without it.

it does sound well badass except for the near steady miss at idle to 2k rpms think i need to readjust the valves is all

in the time being im oin to get the headers off the car so i can make some spark plug wire holders that mount under the headers to keep the wires away from the downpipes,and take care of some other odds and ends till my new thermostat husin gets here

and i need to order some -4 pushlock fittings and hose today to replace the lines i had made at napa that leak

soooo whats the pistol for?

lol its my carry gun i was crawling around under the nose of the car so i took it out of my holster and threw it up on the intake so i didnt scratch it all up

iTrader: (1)

ok guys i have some extra turbo header parts so i figured id ask is anyone interested in purchasing a set of twin turbo headers.

i can build these with t3 or t4 flanges and i would have no prblems hanging a 50+ pound turbo ff either side they are that strong.

if a ton of ppl are interested i could prolly even make a few sets

project89

iTrader: (1)

i swear to god im about to throw this pos hei dizzy in the trash

12* base timing and if i command say a 2* advance i get 4-5*
im about to dig out the vacum advance dizzy remove the vacum can and lock it out to 28* and run that.

ill just hook up a relay on the ignition coil power so i can get the motor to start spinning before the coil has power to help deal with the hard starting

Street Lethal

iTrader: (16)

Yay, Go Megasquirt....!!!!!!

project89

iTrader: (1)

its not the ms unit, theres something wrong with the hei module

junkcltr

iTrader: (1)

Nah, you are better off doing this. Weld some of the slots for the mechanical advance so it limits the max advance at WOT. Keep the vacuum can so it will advance at light throttle and get better response and MPG. Set the base timing at 8*. You want to weld the slots so it limits WOT advance. The vacuum can only advances at light throttle when there is vacuum present. That is the best way to run a non-ECM HEI with boost.
I think they even sell offset dowels for the mechanical advance if you don't want to weld it.

project89

iTrader: (1)

im not going to stick with the hei dont want to lose my antilag or traction control.
i bellive the mismatched timing is my own fault, i have some options enabled that will advance or retard timing based on coolant and air temps i think this is were my added timin is comming from

project89

iTrader: (1)

i got it one of my friends follwingg my build on another forum reminded me about how i setup the ms unit


i had enabled coolant/air based temp ignition settings and with my temp sensors disconected it was causing hell.

basically i have my ms setup to add timmin under certian conditions and set to retard timming from the map under another set of conditions.
with my sensors unhooked it was adding in timing on me, and i had totally forgot i had that enabled

Thanks Ronny, I'll check them out....

lol actually it keeps the meth heads out of my apt complex parking lot,lol illegal drug sales have droped to 0 in the last 2 months.though i cant say as much about the insurance companys parking lot next door.

yeah rob i definatly want it but i have to see whats left fund wise after tuesday need to buy a few -10 fittings and a wideband. u still have a bunch of those b&m shifters?

noboostnogo

iTrader: (4)

oh so no pitbull? i guess we have different problems .... LOL

Street Lethal

iTrader: (16)

Great way to combat heroin addiction, isn't it, give the users medicine even more addictive than crack. Meth is a joke. I have a buddy who sadly fell into the drug scene, has been on meth for a very long time, and just can't get off of it. The longest he went was about five months and his body was in absolute pain, insomuch that he begged to just die. It's horrible....

Cool, I'll have the box whenever you ready then. Gotta see what else I have left in the garage, I'm almost positive I have a few of those shifters left. I even have a Hurst one, but I'm gonna hold on to that one cuz they look so freaking awesome lol. Any updates Dave, cuz I needs some inspiration for mine....?

project89

iTrader: (1)

i almostr shot one of the meth heads a few weeks back, he was hanging out in the storage shed late at night when i was walking the dog and he came bolting out of the shed at me high out of his ****ing mind

remaining -10 an stuff is ordered it gets here on monday,no wideband though the dam oil line fittings were exspensive .but its enough to get the car driveable till i get paid again in 2 weeks

new rims r also here but i gota get tires for those and im not going to install them till after the car is painted anyway, i dont trust the body shop enough not to get overspray on them

only downside is my -10 pushlock hose is backordered grrrrr

project89

iTrader: (1)

well tommorow i am ordering my wideband, and starting final reassembly of the turbo system. besdies the wideband the only thing i need is some misc nuts and bolts and a tube of copper seal.

i didnt fab any downpipes what im going to do is remove the hood and put two 90* elbows tacked to the downpipe flanges facing up so i can drive the car a few blocks over to the local ex shop and ill have them fab the downpipes. id much rather pay them to do it then do it myself laying on the ground under the car

so this thing should be fully done here in a few days

Street Lethal

iTrader: (16)

.... which Wideband did you decide on Dave?

Don't blame you bro, shouldn't be too much money when they're done....

Get her done....

Street Lethal

iTrader: (16)

By the way Dave, did you solve that little problem with the charge tubing yet, or is it still covering the turbo's inlet? Why not consider something more along the lines of what Nelson Racing Engines put together for their intercooler, it would look incredible on your Iroc....

aem 6in1 uego with the digital readout for 165 shipped new from vs racing
