wiring is 90% complete https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

The car is finished being wired. I just need to button up the car and we can go ahead and start it up.



I'm trying to have the car running and driving by rotorfest. 3 weeks seems reasonable.

Ooooh, gonna trailer it up there bobby?



**** that, drive it up there.



Congratulations, I bet you are excited.

jerico!

damn, you cut the **** out of the tunnel to get that in there. Looks good though

Hopefully you can get someone good like Russell or Ray to tune it for you.

yeah the tunning is going to be key.



Russ and dee are going to do it

So long as you got Russ on it , it should run like a champ.

Well i broke down and ordered fittings and line for the return to do it all in SS.



It is so tight down there that i dont want the rubber hose I had to get burnt. No sense in cheeping out now...



car goes to kayo's on weds. I am going to push hard to have it moving under its own power by rotorfest https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

Update:



the return and feed lines are complete. I can start it as soon as ONE ******* fitting i need comes in.



I wired up the boost controller today, kayo's going to weld in bellows into the primary downpipe runners tomorrow. He claims that he will have the torque arm complete by the end of the week.



the car is SO ******* close its not even funny!

I'm salivating at the thought of this thing running...

not much to update....going to start it this week sometime

DYNO #'s!!!!













j/k...at least a video or something!!!

there is still a lot to do on the car.



I need to wire the wideband,

get and install the touchscreen dash

i need to do EGT bung(s)

I need to weld in the bung for the o2

make a bracket for the alt,

wire the waterpump

um, tighten up some looseends but its gettin there!



this is what I need to do. My fabricator has been dealing with an irate customer that is taking all of his time because he (the customer) fucked up the car and is in denial about it. the dousche is taking all of MY fab time! cocksucker

Dash



http://www.powertraincontrolsolution...ontent-21.html



It plugs right into the tecIIIr. Can do fuel level and any other input, can datalog and control boost. Touchscreen. I'm going to make a pannel out of CF and fit it into the stock dash. I will just push the old gauges back into the pannel so I can keep an odometer on the car...

Im going to start it tonight https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

Holy **** man congrats. You beat me to it. I would have had it running a while ago but not being in town during the week hurts.



Hey take some vids!!!!!!! and then post them

GOOD LUCK!!!

Well, 3 days later and my **** still istn here. I have THE worst luck in the world.



The fittings had to be shipped from fragola's warehouse in ENGLAND!



drr...If i would have ordered them myself I could have gotten them in 3 days from summit https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683664.gif

Vid when it's running, please?



::drool::

Well, I have been out of town for a week, and much progress has been made.



the torque arm and trans mount are completley finished. They look ******* amazing. I tried to get some pics but kayo had just dropped the car so mabye next time.



The Driveshaft that I have doesent fit. Unless I am dislexic and cant read a tape, it was an inch and 3/4 too short. Looks like i'm going to have to get another one made, gives me a good excuse to go AL. They are cheep anyways, only around 300 bucks and change.



The downpipe now fits perfectly. The flex bellow was added to the downpipe and both flanges line up correctly. The rest of the exhaust fits perfectly.



The waterpump is attached to the radiator. He was working on the alternator mount today. As soon as that is done I can make the water lines. The belt for the rad is going to go inbetween the inlet and outlet lines on the flange, so I have to wait and see exactly how things are going to be routed.



I have a few more wires to attach, but that is basically done. I still need to wire in the wideband, but that only takes a few min.



Now the really shitty part. The fittings that came in were the wrong size. I dont know why this is being such a bitch, but kayo said he has something that will work (and has had it in stock the whole time)



The return lines are completley done, the flanges with -10 weld on bungs are complete.



One of kayo's employees suprised me and glassed the broken parts of my front end for free. (thank you paul!) I tore a chunk out rolling it off dee's trailer one day, you can never tell it was taken off. He also fixed some cracks and damage that occured during shipping. The body man is going to have to do a little finishing work getting everything perfect, but it is looking pretty good allready compared to 90% of the front ends ive seen on FD's. He also adjusted the lenght of the external shift rods on the trans so it shifts correctly https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png



Every day it is coming closer and closer to completion. My goal to have it running and tuned is ernie's BBQ. That is in a little less then 2 weeks from today. I think at this point I can make it.



I should have taken some pics of the engine bay, it is REALLY shaping up well.



mabye some pics tomorrow if i have time to slide down to the shop.

Its coming home tomorrow. The driveshaft should be finished tomorrow.



I'm going to put it up on the lift and get some pics then. Progress will be MUCH faster now..

the pics didnt really come out well.



Shes home!
