Found a left over EGT gauge and probe setup. Will be putting in two bungs, one at the collector before the turbine on cylinder #1 and the other on the down-pipe after the turbine. This way I can switch between the two to get an idea of my turbine efficiency when lined up next to drive pressure and massflow!


Shot from over head - not bad for a twenty year old paint job on a car that lived above the snow line!


Routing the wires to where the glove box used to be for the fuse/breaker/distribution panel:


Basing our design for the intake pipe to the turbo off Mike Wohler's 8sec Eclipse

 

Chute cable should go on the other side, and external battery terminals will go on the passenger side of the bumper.. fuse panel is still in the making:

 

damit that turbo !!! Sexy<3

 

Beginning fab on the in-cabin shut off switch and parachute release handle on the roof:

 

Slowly but surely:


I could just wrap the power cable around my helmet and save myself the cost of a HANS device :D

 

Ahhhahah... those things are not cheap, but then again how much is your neck worth :D

 

I've been looking into e98 race fuel and it is readily available for cheap. 55 Gallon Drum of E98 Ethanol Racing Fuel - Modern Automotive Performance

 

No kidding, the safety equipment is coming out to be almost a third of the cost of the build. But definitely worth it.

Hoping to have all the wiring and my custom fuse/breaker/distro panel done by tomorrow.

The plan is to keep almost the entire interior till the LSR cage goes in, and even then it will remain a 2 seater when it goes to the long tracks.

 

Lookin like I will be able to hide alot of this too as there are some convenient channels in the sheet metal unoccupied by OE wiring under the interior panels

 

External charge posts - Done!

 

ahh looking goood :)

 

I think the external 12vDC posts and ample cargo space will make for a hell of a tailgate machine! Chute could pull double duty as a tent!

 

Who knew making a concealable locking/hinged breaker panel was such a pain in the ass?

 

More wires! Fuse all the things!




Ended up using almost entirely Rockford Fosgate hardware

 

 

Hiding breakers/distribution blocks etc. ain't easy.. more to come tonight!

 

ask santa for a better camera

 

The GF has been dropping hints that I may be getting a GoPro Hero 3.. or two.

I take it you saw my production quality cellphone video from one of the flashpro teaser threads? lol

 

Here's hoping you get that Go Pro LOL

 

i couldnt even watch that video....
