That stuff works like a champ. I painted/wrapped/painted the headers, drove the car to work and was able to touch the headers right after shutting down the car. (dumb I know, but I had to see how well it all worked).

hot spot by seamore paint works great to.

I would have to use my stock iat sensor anyways... my tuning software cannot scale iat sensors as far as I know anyways

check the signal range on both IAT's. You may not have to scale. Compare low temp@volt versus high-temp@volt and see if you even need to worry about changes or scaling. Who knows, you might be surprised.

oh well... I'm actually looking at an open source ecu patch to run speed density so it should be quite badass... either that or I will setup a map sensor so I can rewire my maf wires to a map sensor and run straight off those signals but I gotta look at how the gm 3 bar map sensor is calibrated

(dont mind the gauges, the car isn't started)

Shes alive! finally! Fired her up tuesday night, Had a tweak an issue of the misfiring. Ended up being 2 of the injector harnesses wasn't plugged in all the way. Then she purrred like a kitten.

At 2k rmp, she begins to spool. At 3k rpm, she starting to sound like a tornado sucking everything in. At 4-5k.. shes just LOUD! Like a jet. Is the car quick, It is quicker; Not that quick as i have all the fiberglassing, stereo, 20" chrome wheels. And only 6psi.

Beautiful. Done with the same attention to detail and craftmanship that we have all come to expect from you. and FYI I heart your gold UIM.

Just gonna put a screen on there. No room for a filter. Just need to get my ass to home depot and get a 4" clamp. Which i'll do that tomorrow.

-Alero- · 08-28-2008, 01:52 AM

why not get a musroom filter like greddy or hks filters, short and stubby?

and uh whats the deal with the coolant rail what was the reason you hacked it?

Vinalero · 08-28-2008, 01:57 AM

That is a huge turbo! Good quality job man.

No room for a filter.. I got 2" btw the frame of the engine bay and the turbo inlet.

The coolant rail to the heater core is modifed to fit the downpipe tube. cut the line and routed a soft line to the front.

not really...

looking good richie... but.... now the gold UIM looks outta place. Too bad your turbo lines can't be gold too. and the gauge next to your voltmeter doesn't really seem to "go" with the color scheme....

maybe i'm just being too nit-picky.

.... but now after i mention this, your probably going to find ways to change it all, and FORCE me to shut up.

and what the heck are those rectangular gauges under your headunit? i see oil pressure ...and...? where did you find those? thats pretty slick

i had a question about the oil catch...umm have you picked up any oil?

correct me if im wrong but doesnt THAT pcv suck up little to no oil? again correct me if im wrong, cause i mean ive changed that line before but i didnt find any oil residue in it, but i could be wrong, well i mean i have seen dark build up in the lim but i always thoguht it was from the egr

I have picked up some oil. I had the catch can before the turbo. It caught like 2oz of oil. I dont have my EGR anymore either.

Boost can be addictive. Give him two years. No chrome, no air suspension, no custom paint. Only lightweight wheels and 11 sec quarter mile times or better.

apparently he claims he already went through the speed stage, at one time he had nitrous on it, but maybe hes getting back into it

LOL.. nah the car is done! .. prolly just some new wheels next yr. Like I planned for this year, but with my back surgery took place and used the money there. So next year is just new wheels. Gold chrome w/ polished lip is the plan still! Then yall cant say my gold engine doesn't match anything else on the car.
