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.

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

BlackJack · 09-01-2006, 02:09 AM

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

Coldfire · 09-01-2006, 11:30 AM

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

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

BlackJack · 09-05-2006, 03:03 AM

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

BlackJack · 09-05-2006, 03:05 AM

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.
