4l80e and converter installed, and some other details

well we got the trans and the converter in no problem, the trans mount is a little beat, none of the parts stores had em, so we will try some others tomorrow or order that off the internet, also the driveshaft is 2 piece, and has a center support and bearing, that bearing rubber isloator thing is shot, i got a replacement but turns out now that we cut mine out, it does not fit, haha, so i need  one that fits, after this i just decided to get the cold side piping done, thats all clamped in place, a little tight to the belt, but not hitting, might have to hammer it or get a 45degree for the throttle instead of a 90, on top of that i finished the wiring for the fuel pumps and meth and oil pumps, i just have to connect them to a fuse panel tomorrow, i ran out of spares haha.

also drilled the stock washer fluid tank for the methanol kit, thing holds nearly 2 gallons... ran the lines, drilled and tapped the intake pipe now that that is in place, and primed the system. T'd the hobbs switch for that meth pump into the intake where the map sensor is plugged in and set it for 6psi of boost.

i also got a blackbear harness for LS1 fans since i found a deal on a set of LS1 fans, connected all that cept for the AC connection, have to get the car running and test for the AC clutch power wire to make sure i tap the right one.

other than that list, there is still a bunch more to do.

welder is out of welding gas...
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.

methanol installed, and boost controller for the 4.8 notch

installed a methanol kit today and the ebay boost controller with great sucess, the boost controller definately brought down the spool time by being a ball and spring and blocking reference for a few psi, and the meth kit held the car together when we learned we were out of fuel pump at 20+lbs of boost... LOL

it has a walboro 340lph stealth in the tank and well i can guarantee we are over 600rwhp because its smoking these 28x10.5 slicks from a 70 roll like they are shit.

15* 21lbs of boost, woot woot.

adding the 044 from the ventura tomorrow to see if we can remedy that then buying another 044 for the ventura... hopefully racing this 4.8 beast sunday.

dyno night 2

installed the meth kit today, and took it back up to the dyno, making 562rwhp now spinning in 3rd gear, its going over 147mph in 3rd, kinda scary on the 14s lol.
its running 19lbs of boost and using about half the injectors. everything else is holding up great, car runs cool, and intake air temps are amazing with the methanol, engine coolant even drops during a pull with the methanol just like the turbo truck, gotta love it.
here are some pics, video is uploading and will get posted next.
