swapped 76/64 to 78/75 today

swapped the turbo out today to see if there was a big power difference, and there was almost no power difference at all really.

it made nearly the same power as the other turbo, leads me to believe something else might be up with the setup, interesting result indeed.

tore apart troys 1500 the other day

got everything done with the truck!

so i tested out the trans and converter and fuel pump etc, doing great.

troys truck trans swap and more

todays adventures, truck 2ft up on jackstands, methanol kit installed, 60e out, 80e in, crossmember modded/installed, fuel pump installed/tested, trans lines done, driveshaft getting dropped off at associated, and we even delivered the LS1 and t56 to its new owner, all before 5pm

plasma cut off the stock mount, flipped the crossmember, welded it on flipped and it fit perfect, like it was meant to be haha

tons done today, even drove the truck around

fuel rail spacers yesterday from lowes haha, trans filter for the 80e, put the pan on the 80e, its ready to go.

put the last coupler i needed on the front end and got all the clamps on it, put the grille and everything back on, buttoned and zip tied everything, installed the wideband in the car, even checked the fluid and took it for a drive, in the video i dont have the reference hooked up to the wastegate, later i got it plugged in and it makes 12psi right now but the stock fuel pump cant keep up with that at all.

drilled and tapped the intake piping for the meth kit. 

going to finish that up this weekend when we do the 80e swap and also drop the stock fuel tank and install the walbro 400 in the tank.

should be ready to get nuts soon!

got a bunch done on the truck today

oil feed and drain, wastegate on the crossover pipe, crossover installed, cold side nearly done just waiting on a coupler or two, going to do the downpipe and fuel injectors tomorrow i think.

modified junkyard 80e for troys truck

my friend corey who has done all our 80e transmissions did the one for troys pickup today, super super clean trans, looks like new inside hahha

fairmont and truck updates

well we swapped in a 94 GT master cyl and the brake pedal is way better, feels awesome.
also doing some testing with interrupting the stock IAT wire to screw up the ignition settings in the computer for help brake standing the car, that is also working!

wired in a button for reverse lights since my shifter doesn't have provisions and i thought it would be easier haha, also replaced the heater core in the car, so awesome, so easy to do in this car, just swap it out right behind the glove box, so nice to have heat again haha..

started putting in the valvesprings i got for troys truck, and mocking up the hotside, going to go quick i think!
