What is causing it to not read correctly? Fuel system setup or was it having issues before the build?

Smoove

worrrd.


Sup with the gauge? Pull out the sending unit and check that beotch.

Drivers side contacts are clean. Since I added the ECS fuel adapter ring idk if the float is getting held in a weird spot or can't function as designed because of the extra corrugated fuel line in there. I just shortened the hose from the pump to bulkhead to alleviate unnecessary space usage. I'll put it back together and see what it does with 16 gallons.

Nice build. I bet it will run real good.

Well I got home and my new VIS hood was here, undamaged and looking good............. Until I looked at the underside. So I'm thinking i should've bought the Sunoco C5 hood, but I can trim and reinforce the hood to make it work.

That intake is clearly not tall enough...

JoeyG

Making up for...... shortcomings, of course

I think I might look good if just the intake top sticks through on the stock hood, and have it painted the same as hood.

JoeyG

I can't remember the members name with the Blower + Pro-Flo combo, but he cut the stock hood and had a badass looking setup.

What all did you have to do to get the PROFLO to fit? I dont mind cutting my cowl, but I have heard you need to lower the motor a bit? Could you PM me any details please? Thanks!

Everyone loves updates, at least on the daytime talk shows anyway.

Street tuning and breaking the clutch in currently with the lovely +/-28 degree weather. The setup has 94 miles at the moment and waiting for the 500 mark to start beating the **** outta the car. Boost rolls in nice going off the 8lb waste-gates only. I can see 3lbs by 2400 in 5th and 4th gear is pretty much the same, easy on the throttle. No bad noises, waste-gates and bov aren't annoying, kinda liking driving the car again. New hood is cut but needs to be reinforced and I have to oval the fender holes to pull them in and close the damn hood gap at the A-pillars Oh my fuel gauge issue was a broken board for the float contact path.

jealous your driving your ****!!

It is 16 degrees out right now and I'm working on getting a cracked rear O2 out of my dads 05. I hate this damn weather.

If you'd stop constantly upgrading J you'd be on the road, hypothetically anyway.

Smoove

I can't help it bro. I'm addicted. You know where I work lol. it's like a crack ADDICT,..woring in a CRACK FACTORY..... I can't say no!

(starts itching)


lol. BTW it's 79degres here right now.

Try some HEAT(torch-not to cut though) on the broken *** o2. Then grab some marshmallow.s

JoeyG

Damn senspr was almost welded in there. Heat didn't work, penetrating oil didn't help, I had to weld the box end of a wrench on the damn thing to break it loose. Then the exhaust manifold had to come off for a broken stud. The e-force on this thing is pretty damn fun for an otherwise stock car

I did get some more miles today before the work calls started pouring in.

Smoove

I haven't driven a vehicle with one yet, they seem like pretty sweet all around units. I bet it's a blast to drive.

JoeyG

Might as well update. Car is getting the snot knocked out of it road testing. Fuel system is more than adequate only hitting high 60's% duty cycle on these FIC 96lb/hr injectors at 48# base pressure. I do need to replace the eboost street boost solenoid as it quit the other day running 12#'s boost currently. Or I might convert to the dual control solenoid method to achieve my 18-20lb desired boost level. I will say the power is so smooth with this setup compared to the old stroker and nitrous setup. I'm truly happy with this car again.

SBCGENII

Good deal!

JoeyG

Since I've had time to fix everything else while I was at it. I rewired the stereo and made a new amp plate anchor bolted it to the frame. As well as a new tire/gas jug carrier because I sold the pull behind trailer.

Tirerack before trimming down, heat shield for gas can, and paint


New hatch rework
