Sloppy Mechanics circle Track Car

my buddy corey has a circle track neon! sponsored in part by sloppy mechanics! i got him a cheap ass video camera for teh car that works great hahaha check this out

leaf spring removal

needed to pull an extra leaf spring out of this 80 camaro for my friends swap car coming up, going to be putting an LS in a 79 nova 4 door!

sunbird ready to rock

cut open the whole top of it today and installed the 60mm from the truck, tested it on the pressure rig i have and it cracked at 20psi, great, thats what we wanna start with haha...

ripped it down the road and it holds 20psi.

also earlier Corey grabbed a bunch of fittings and a Y fitting (youll laugh when you see it) and we re-did the fuel feeds. both 044s getting fed from the sump, and then pushing out into the Y fitting and then up to the rail, it works and doesn't leak, funny thing is one of the pumps was loud and struggling  interesting because 044s are pretty quiet, and when they get upset they make noise right away... so we felt em both and the one was getting super hot, and it eventually blew a 30amp fuse (for both pumps)

well i said every time the pump made noise like that it was because the fuel filter was clogged. well we checked the filter like 10x and its not clogged.. so  we just removed the pre-filter entirely and holy shit, you can barely hear the pumps now, so quiet, ive never heard them this quiet....

now there is tons of fuel, and the car is holding 20psi.

hopefully filling it with E85 and taking it to the dyno later this week.

here is an hour and a half 38mm removal, 60mm install, dump and hood cut all at once lol

still having trouble with fueling and keeping the car under 40lbs of boost or so lol, going to do some work on the hotside of the car and then move the fuel pumps around and Y them together.

please enjoy the fireball

sunbird burnout

Corey doing a quick burnout in the sunbird today hopefully we get er on the dyno this weekend, ready to see how it does! it hit 18psi in this burnout haha

sunbird nearly complete

installed the methanol nozzles in the intake elbow today, also connected the boost gauge, welded the downpipe o2 bung and connected all that. car seems to be doing pretty good! gotta do some fine tuning on it now that the wideband is installed again, then we can do the hood pins and take it for a drive down the road.

brake boosting the sunturd in the driveway

nearly ready to take out on the street, here is some video of brake boosting the car in the driveway haha

sounds awesome!

cold side completed on the sunbird! haha

cut up some 3.5 inch exhaust tubing and threw it in there today, so now the cold side is hooked up!
we also filled it with water and warmed it up to 160 for now, cooling system looks good, gunna wire the fan and some other things tomorrow, maybe even a video update.
