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
