Gauges arrived, these things are sharp and brilliant modular wiring. Would Recommend ISSPro to anyone looking for gauges and I have a contact for them if interested:




Diving in head first we grabbed a bunch of the DOT Push to Lock hardware, will report back on experience after install and again after running them, seems promising:

 

Starting to get the gauges in:


Remote Oil cooler mounted, should allow for two full-size rad fans and a 7" fan on the oil cooler

 

Making a Vent-Delete to mount the rest:

 

Revisions made to the Trans Shield

 

180* Shield finished, provisioned for a full 360* when required by certain sanctioning bodies


Waiting on one more gauge (ignore the silver bezel pyro), not the final order they will be in but basically how the console will look when done and then the wideband will be under the switch panel next to the turbo timer and electronic boost controller

 

Street wheels arrived today:



16x8 with 4.5 BS Cragars.

Billet Center caps and Hankook Ventus RS3's in 225/50 coming this afternoon!

Going to be running these at the Chicago Half-Mile shootout in June!

 

center caps due tomorrow.. but the tires made it:

 

You be bad boy...It's looking great.

 

haha thanks Dee

Can't wait to get it rolling. Deciding on parachutes now.. stuck between stroud and simpson.

At this rate should be heading towards the dyno in 4-6 weeks.

We're left with working on the coolant system, meth system, and the electric is almost done. Powertrain and drive train work is done for now, brakes are done. Sensors and meth nozzles left after that.

Then first fire and base tune and off to the rollers!

 

Caps, lugs and such.

 

'' Very exhilarating! ''

 

Hey vinny where you been?

Think this should be enough cooling.. two 14" SPAL fans on the radiator and a 7" on the remote oil cooler

 

Caps and open ended lugs

 

.....I'm still peeking in on ya' bro... Haven't seen this thread in a while and almost lost it in my pants when I looked at it today...Lol!

 

lol nice

Converting all the fluid fittings in the car to push lock or AN

Thermostat housing, waterpump and radiator all having -16AN fittings welded on.

This is the water pipe being modified to clear the trans shield, shifter cables and the soon to be 5" turbo inlet pipe

 

Maybe its my perverse sense of humor, but I love seeing Cragar's on an import LOL I hope you like those RS3's! I actually managed to over heat one of mine recently at an AutoX...

 

I remember you telling me that when we last had a text exchange, but I won't be in need of lateral grip (I hope!) this was more for the street duty the car will see and for pavement runs if I ever need to brake. The slight water channels are a plus as well.

They are also speed rated for 168 according to DOT but the bodies I will be running under allow them to 200+ on pavement

Send me a follow up when you get a chance at either PM or email on that potential project you mentioned. I would also be curious to hear your thoughts/see some data on the most recent tune revision if you decided to flash over to it yet.

 

EMail with logs incoming >_<

 

Looking good Chris. How long before start up?

 

Hey SB, hows it goin?

I'm hoping 4-5 weeks! A bit over budget so dyno time may have to come a bit later in the spring.

Radiator hoses are being done with -16 AN fittings for peace of mind
