And the Fun Continues.....
 

This thread is a continuation of the old thread found here

Ok, I was having problems uploading the latest pics (too large) so I deleted them from the server and am starting over.

Next up, since the turbo install requires the battery to be located to the trunk, and NHRA requires a battery in a passenger compartment connected area to be sealed and vented to the outside, the next mod is complete. No more open battery in standard hold-downs.



after completing the battery install, I figured since I had the camera out, I'd get a side-by-side comparison of the new throttlebody vs. the stocker. Hell of a difference. The upper intake manifold is being built currently, and is full custom "barrel style". I haven't polished it yet though, that's next on the list. Also in this pic, you can see the huge MAF installed and fully operational. I know, the intake t-bolt clamps aren't on quite straight, but i'll tighten and straighten that up as soon as I get the turbo back in.

BJ what is the diameter of your new TB?

a little over 75mm

damn, you are gonna knife edge it and polish it up then right?

Dude, Thats just Jaw Dropping great.

thanks.......it's already knife-edged, I just have to polish it :)

That is such a sweet Alero.

so...you're overroostering the V6? lol

nooooo, it's already "overroostered", and you're number 2 to notice out of the 3 months it's been there.....good job :)

Yeah I just want to fastforward to when this is done and see a vid of it at the track ;) Oh well, the anticipation will make it better when it's done :thumb:

Edit: BTW I see you've changed your signiature slightly...are you really planning on a custom hood?

ok, for the sake of consistency, I'll move the headers over to here, and shortly, a few more things to add.

Next up....P&P LIM. You can see it's been hogged out. I know, I know...I need to hit the whole thing with some degreaser...heh. Been burning the midnight oil getting this thing going. P&P heads are already installed, SI stainless valves, Manley 350# valve springs, molly pushrods, etc.



Painful, this is. Have to cut apart the injector harness and hand-wire in the new injectors. You can see the old stockers in the background (the little thin ones) versus the new 42.5# injectors installed in the rail. That's me assembling the clips in the pic.

Looking sweet would love to se it.

thats insane man....just keeps gettin better and better with every update...it's nice to see you're not stopping short on any of the details either...great work man, keep it up
