*the few things that got in the way*

I wish, I’m not sure what I even posted last, some things got in the way and had to put it up for the fall/winter. It’s in storage until the beginning of February, then I will start back on it. Big ticket items left are Wiring+ fixing the back of the car where it hit the pole. Needs to get...

I didn’t have all the lines built to the regulator so moving it now was the better option. thanks for looking out turboking

I’m guessing it must be due to proximity to the bell housing?? Haven’t heard that one yet, I’m running fuel lines on the driver side because the exhaust is taking up the whole pass side. I figured the firewall is the no brainer point for the crossover. We will see, I’ve been to a few tracks...

In a hose building mood today, first time using PTFE and I’m not so great at it. Also my first time using regular AN hose that is nylon wrapped. I’ll never go back to regular stainless hose again. Fuel pres regulator mounted Catch can mounted Fuel pumps hung with gaskets this time Dual 6 to...

Motor, trans, alt mounted. Solid motor mounts this time and the new driver side alt location.

I have never used it so take my word with a grain of salt, just bought it for my turbo setup that is still in progress. From what I understand it also has 3 rev limiters. Burnout, 2 step, and overall limit. All programmable from a laptop. Let us know what you find. All for around 430$?

Thought about locking it out and going MSD 6530 programmable? Best of all worlds. Start retard and boost retard.

Anyone have recommendations for spark plugs? Seems like you ask 100 people and get 100 different answers but worth a shot to see if someone is already running a similar combo. eddy heads 9.6ish-1 comp Plan on 7-10lbs of boost.

Did you just buy the scoop and glass it onto a stock hood or how did you go about doing that? Looks killer.

Also had a mishap with a pole since I didn’t chock the wheels in the driveway. Busted up the back end. I’ll do my best to pull the trunk straight and slap everything back together. Kind of the nature of the beast with this car and exactly why I never want to get it professionally painted. I want...

Motor and trans fresh and ready. Trans has been done for months but just got the motor back from the machine shop. Fresh hone New rings/ bearings Gapped .024 and .024 Cometic MLS gaskets. New turbo cam/ lifters from Hughes All else is the same as the N/A setup from before.

Little before and after. Not my best work or my worst, so it’s perfect for this car.

Holes filled-ish and primer laid down. Using Eastwood chassis black and a harbor freight hvlp gun.

I wouldn’t get another AHP. For what you need to spend in upgrades like The foot pedal/ ground clamp etc you could get an everlast, and for a little more an HTP made in Italy. The lack of stability in the arc has been extremely frustrating, as well the high frequency start not working half the...

Thanks, I will give that a try. I was trying to mess with the ac balance to reduce the cleaning zone but it wasn’t helping. I’m using a Chinese AHP alphatig 200 off Amazon. Using a #8 gas lens on stainless and a #5 standard collet body on aluminum.

All the cutting and welding for the turbo kit is done so it’s off to sand blasting. Just getting the engine bay done. Couldn’t let myself put all this hard work into a tri-colored engine bay. Thinking I’ll do gloss black but not 100% yet. Also going to fill all the random self tapper holes from...

I know some of these pics may seem repetitive but I guess it’s more for my record than anything else. Getting from the mocked up to finish welded state is taking a lot of time/ argon/ and filler rod. More than I expected for sure. Had to add a spacer to the hat to clear the fuel bowl screw...

Also, once the fab is all done the motor is coming out. Wiring will be re-done, nitrous stuff taken off, and the engine bay will be painted.... I hope haha.

Tacking some ideas together. Next year I may build a custom Air to Water intercooler but going non-ic for now. Deciding if I want one of the fancy expensive aluminum coupler joints on the market now or just silicone.

Turbo is capable of 1000 so:)

A little concerned with how this stock block is going to hold up. Everything else in the car is built to handle a good amount of power. 600hp seems to be this looming rumor of what the la small blocks can handle. The rotating assembly is all forged but the block/ caps are stock...

That’s an option also. Steel hood is just heavy as hell so it would be nice to get rid of it.

Got my carb in today from HPR carb service. Set up for e85 blow through. Also got my carb hat. Looks like I’ll also need a new hood unfortunately. The second pic is actually on a weiand intake that is shorter than the victor jr. Also, I’ll need to weld a spacer on the hot if I want to put it...

Wastegate plumbing done.

There are no regulations but it’s mainly a streetcar and I like things on the quieter side for cruising.

Dual 2” to single 2.5” for the single 60mm wastegate. Debated on dual 44ss but really wanted to dump into the downpipe and space is so limited in these cars. Also, that’s a 4” downpipe that will neck down to 3.5 and go out the back... somewhere.

Yes I am. Dual -6 to single -8an. The second pump will be on a Hobbs switch and only come on when it sees boost pressure.

True divided hot side done. Mocking up the alternator. And starting the downpipe. 4” to the firewall then 3.5” out. Not sure how far back I’ll go or what I will do for a muffler. Maybe even go duals out the back.... haven’t decided.

Dual aeromotive 340 pumps. Working on getting that e85 flowing right. Modified a single aeromotive hat, should work.
