Right here in Shreveport

 

I guess you figured out who Chris is. I didn't feel the need to quote his post.

What did you use to cut for the mini-tub? a 4" grinder with a aluminum oxide cutoff wheel will cut through everything like a hot knife through butter.

 

I'm originally from Minden, went to BPCC/LSUS first two years of college.

I used a pneumatic 3" right angle grinder and various other tools. I glued them in with 3M Automix 8116 followed by some rivets and epoxy/glassed the posts to the tubs.

I'm trying to figure out a good use for my rear brake duct coolers and how to vent the air out. There's plenty of room in there to put some cooler of sort.

 

Very cool! I graduated from LSUS and now attend LSU Health Sciences Center. I live fairly close to minden.

 

I got my fuel rails mounted and plumbed (for the most part). Im waiting on a fitting from Russell.

Im also waiting on a Moroso breather can for the crankcase ventilation. Not exactly sure where I am going to mount it yet so I need it in my hand before I cut any hose. *If I would have been thinking, I would have just drilled my oil cap like a lot of guys do (instead of my valve cover), but I believe I drilled the valve cover before I made the decision to re-route my turbo return line from the oil fill cap to the oil pan. Oh well, I think this will work fine.





Got everything underneath back together but still need to clean up A LOT! The previous tiny oil leak makes a mess over time.





**Also, The Aeromotive rails have a port on the bottom of the rails right in the middle as an option feed port if the rear port is difficult to get to. I have it plumbed where I will utilize this bottom port for a fuel feed. Does anyone see any cons to feeding the rail from the bottom with a 90* fitting?

 

No sway bar?

Oh, looks good

 

I have been too hell and back on my build. Last Friday night at 7:30pm my tuner took me for a "ride". He has asked me how much I leaned on the car. 8 rib, paxton, 402 forged, 373's, 80# injectors on and on and on. $$$

I said well, I have taken it up to 4#'s of boost (2.3/4" pulley). He laughed and asked me that we need to make sure WOT / AFR was correct as well as changing the shift points as I went from 26" to 28" tires. Stage II RPM with an 3400, 11" Nitrous converter.

We were out on I-55 Interstate, I had the laptop, and he asked me if I ever was on the "Wizard Roller Coaster at Six Flags"? I said no, and he just laughed and said enjoy the ride. He was at 45 mph and nailed it and I'm not ****ting anyone that within 1 1/2 seconds we were at 110 mph. spinning the whole way (45 degrees out).

We had a group meeting between the tuner and the builder as to what is the next step. First reaction from me was putting a full cage in the car. After the weekend I have decided that I golf with my wife at least 100 rounds a year and that I go to the track maybe 6-8 times just for fun.

Decided that I would only run 1/8th, get a harness bar and enjoy the car.

I actually have built more than I can handle. It is dangerous. I'm turning 54 next month and I don't have the ***** like I did when I younger. Just a fact. The car is violent.

 

Chris, is that a 45deg fitting on the front of your psgr side fuel rail? Also, what fitting is on the back of the driver's side rail? Did you have to cut the firewall? Any pics of this location? Looks great BTW.

 

OK. I admit it. I have a problem. Add a set of 2" Kooks headers and 3" midpipe to my project. They'll be here soon. I guess I'll be selling my entire exhaust system soon. Dynatech headers, catless midpipe and B&B bullets with dual tips over the axles. Haven't researched a reasonable price yet.

 

The first step is admitting you have issues LOL

 

Yeah, you can see the sway bar just above the scavenge pump.
Thanks brotha

Yeah, that is a 45* fitting in the front of the passenger rail. I have a plug on the back of the drivers side rail. On the first pic I posted, look closely between the middle 2 injectors and you can see where I will be feeding the rails. I figured the stock rails feed in the middle, why cant these???


I have a 3" midpipe but it goes into a 2.5" Borla exhaust. I would imagine there is a good bit of restriction and backpressure there.

 

Well the last 2 fittings I needed came in from Jeg's last night and I got it all back together. I just need to run to the shop and get some oil and anti-freeze.

One thing I am thinking is that I will fill it up with conventional oil and run it for just a little while. I think this because I did some drilling and tapping in the turbine housing, replaced the oil pan that I did drilling and tapping on....so I want to catch and tiny shavings that I may have missed.

I pray I have no leaks............

 

I've got quite a few things to install in the next month or so too:

A&A fuel system
83# injectors
BBK fuel rails
Elite engineering catch can
ECS breather filter
and last but not least, projector headlights (aca style)

 

Also, I had a little change of plan after speaking with Aeromotive. I am feeding the rails at the center of the drivers side rail, so I have a crossover in the front and the rear now.

At the back of the drivers rail, I use a 90* -8AN fitting and no I did NOT have to cut the firewall.

 

Can you take a closer pic of your 45* fitting? It doesn't seem possible on my motor to do that.

Since my BBK rails also feed from the side, I'm going to run a crossover in the front and then run the rear pass side rail into my FPR

 

Ill take good pics and post up as soon as possible
What fitting, specifically, do you need? I use 45* in a couple different spots.

 

Sorry I meant the 45* fitting on the back drivers side

 

Back of the drivers rail is a 90*
Back of the pass rail is a 45*

 

Yeah I meant 90*. It's been a long day at work and an even longer week, I think I'm losing my mind
