Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.

[t-revzr]

Awesome progress!

[turbotalon1g]

Almost completed my first tank of gas, I am going to try and get the driver's wheel bearing done and then it should be solid for the cruise coming up.

Today I put in my front dash speakers and I put 6x9s in the rear deck lid, but I am still not happy with the way it sounds, so I'll just be putting in some in the stock location and a sub :O(

I was hoping to not have to use a sub, but oh well. DSMs just don't have good sound quality.

Mechanically, I wired up my "power box" aka a small fused power supply panel that also contains connectors for grounding so that all electrical items added to teh car can be centralized and individually fused I am really happy with it.

I have some autometer gauges on the way, I changed my mind from 2 5/8" to the normal 2 1/16" (my wife actually said the smaller ones will look nicer and not out of place as well) Plus I couldn't find the ones I needed in 2 5/8" and in 2 1/16" to have all the same style gauges.

All that is left is to get the money I'm owed back into my car account and order a WB and if there is $$$ before the cruise/end of season maybe some FIC BM1450s.

Oh stock injector duty cycle at 7psi was over 100%, lol.

Pics tomorrow I know I'm slacking on that end.

Wut? :lol:

Are you already running E-85?

[turbotalon1g]

No sir, good ol' 92.

[Halon]

Are those the stock Auto injectors? Like 390 or whatever the heck they are...

[turbotalon1g]

They are actually 450s, as far as I know it should of been 390s, but this parts car had a 14b and 450s on it so yay me.

Onto the pics i've been slacking on.
Hmmm no more single piston on the front. (Needs moar SS line though)

Not really a great pic. (i'll get a better one later)
But this is my power distribution block, where every additional electrical item will be provided fused power and a ground so that everything is in one place neatly. Will be labelled later.

You know I couldn't roll stock.

I thought I had a better pic of this:

My explanation on what i deemed a failed experiment, every car that has a solid rear/sealed deck on the back with speakers sounds awesome so i thought I would stick those sick ass infinity kappas back there, well I wasn't impressed and I think its because I didn't seal it 100% so I'm gonna say screw it and stick my type Rs in the stock location.
Also the metal stock brackets aren't as heavy as I thought so they can stay, I just need to figure where I am going to install my sub as it is a kicker solo baric 10" in a truck box so its a little tall.

Update from here, well I need to put in those alpines, pickup some 6 1/2"s for the doors. I'm going to be calling O'reillys here in a min for my wheel bearing and hopefully have all of that done before this weekend.

Oh, my gauges will be here on wed. afternoon so I am planning on getting those in and getting some pics.

sweet man this cars coming along pretty well and pretty fast!!

and maybe the computer doesn't know its 450's and not the stock 390's so it doesn't know any better? idk if the computer can tell if you have bigger injectors or not just my thought lol

[munchgsx]

It has Link.

[19TsiAwd90]

ahh.. didn't see that

[Constant_Project21]

Nice dude, when this thing is 16g'd out I want a ride, since I'm not gonna be getting a taste of automagic myself.
