put the black car on the dyno

well i put the black car on the dyno and it hit 12psi and 12deg of timing and laid down 413rwhp to the tire and 400ftlbs of tq super safe tuneup

two updates in this post

made a quick update video, and then got my shit together and fired the car for fun

both cars update video

fairmont 3 fired up for the first time

over 200miles on the swap for now

driving great, also plenty of fuel up top it seems!

all is going really well!

out driving and doing great

Drove the car 75miles probably or more

another 50 miles just today (25 yesterday and day before)
its almost perfect, just some more cruising and whatnot to confirm and i wanna drive it everyday and make sure it keeps doing alright, no leaks, no problems, just want to finish up some interior wiring for power accessories and maybe swap the head unit, very very happy with this car.

tinkered today for a while got my shift points where i want, also 80mph is 2000rpm and 95mph is 2350 or so haha OD ftw

fairmont 4 all around town haha

Fairmont 4 out and about! a short drive and some testing, everything seems to be working ok, i have to swap over the intercooler next and then we can start making some boost and see how it all works out!

drove around for 10 miles today then ill look everthing over, coolant was 180f the whole time and everything was working out great.

moving!

gas tank installed and it is moving under its own power!

fairmont 4.0 tank done

my friend finished sumping the stock tank for the black and grey fairmont 4.0

fairmont 4 update, shifter and other things installed almost ready

shifter installed and working, fans wired to ECU and working, almost ready, just waiting on the gas tank to get finished wich my friend is doing, he said it should be done this weekend.

injectors and fan wiring

putting some fo-mo-co back in the fairmont! 60# GT500 injectors installed. Running. Fans wired and tested as working! Just have to wire them into the ecu pins so it can turn them on! Shifter in tomorrow hopefully and then mike said the tank will be done this weekend.

stock driveshaft fits, just had a conversion u joint pressed in, thats a 2000 silverado 60e slip yolk and the stock fairmont driveshaft... lol

fairmont 3 and 4 updates (video uploading now, will post when ready!)

3.0 waiting on head studs and springs, then going back in the yellow car, black and grey car already has old 4.8 and turbo kit installed and ready to rock, waiting on sumped stock tank, and we are going to put the 60e yolk on the stock drive shaft and use the stock rear for fun, here is how they both sit for now

fairmont 3 and 4 switcherooo

Due to rediculous import fees, i will not be selling the 3.0 car to my mexican friend, he has estimates over 3300 dollars so far in import fees and taxes etc, Honestly i just feel bad sticking him with that kinda bill, and i like the car, so i will keep it for now, what i am going to do now is, pull the weak point out of it wich is the gen3 4.8 and smaller turbo, and install the 5.3 i have and the better turbo and hotside and go nuts.

the black car is getting the 4.8 and a ls1 cam i have laying around and we will see how that does with the 60e, stock driveshaft and 7.5 rear end.

so that is the new experiment, saturday corey and i pulled the 4.8, removed the cam, and installed the ls1 cam, and installed it all back into the black car, going to be studding, and installing the isky cam, and then pac1218 valvesprings into the yellow car with the 2005 5.3l motor and the reiners hotside and s476 billet turbo.

should be nuts! this is the best choice i think because this yellow car has the fuel system, rear, trans, and converter to go nuts already.

update and cold start for fun

fairmont 4 update, turbo hotside

this is the hotside getting built for the black car, i will be bolting the s476r from Forcedinductions.com to it, and letting it eat.

fairmont 4 fbody dash

trying something different in this car, going to see how a fbody dash works out in this car with the stock pcm

fairmont 4 running!

268,000+ mile motor runs great, i guess we can move on with the plans here.

fairmont 3 and 4 updates

motor in the black and grey car, mounts built

quickly tossed the engine and trans in the car today and made mounts, it is ready to roll around haha, gotta decide what i want to do next, hopefully getting an LS1 intake today or tuesday, i can start wiring this pig up and figuring out the fuel system etc, i think i will be doing a 255 or some thing we might have laying around in the tank, and then doing a corvette regulator and returning right at the tank, and then feeding up to the return less rail on the ls1 intake for now.
