Lucky #13...Back in the saddle....92 rt/tt

[turbotalon1g]

Until proven otherwise, this is a 14 second car. The goal is to have fun putting it together, then see what it does. :beer:

Sounds familiar. I want to see the before and after of the tune. I know thats usually an amazing difference. :rollinglaugh:

By reading this I want to see you take down stock appearing class at proving grounds!!!!!!!!

There's going to be lots of competition in that class this year. :D

Updated parts list:

Current mods list on the car (and staying):
Quadco Output shaft spool
E2K t-case brace
Mitsubishi Evo 9 BOV
(few other items I will have to sell that were on last summer)

On deck/sitting at my house:
Stainless clutch line from STM (master to slave)
Shifter bushings
Deautchwerks 1000cc Injectors
Fuel Lab "mini" regulator with gauge
Deautchwerks 301 fuel pump
AEM EMS V1 (used/rebuilt)
5 bar Map sensor
GM AIT
Ebay 3" downpipe (non "F" style)
Rear 02 eliminator (ebay)
AEM dual channel wideband controller with new widebands
New dash vents (cracked ones drive me nuts)
8mm NGK plug wires
MAC Boost control solenoid
Russell AN6 Black Fuel filter
Aluminum shifter base bushings
Pioneer 6.5" TS-G1643R door speakers
BCPR7ES plugs
2-5/8" Black face, Silver Ring Stewart Warner Performance Gauges: Oil Temp, Oil pressure, Water Temp, Vac/Boost

Need to order or build prior to final assembly:
Top to bottom flowing FMIC, 2" hot side pipes, 3" cold side (E-85 will keep me cool, I want as little pressure drop as possible)
Intake setup, flirting with a bellmouth/velocity stack setup
Fabricate cat-back exhaust
Make some fuel lines.
Port some stuff.

Update:
Pulled out fuel rails and intake manifolds for welding/porting. Pulled intercooler system for resale, ordered intercooler and shifter. Order new motor mounts, old ones are TOAST.
Going to try to pull turbo's tonight, after seeing if the new downpipe fits, looks pretty close!

Sounds like its going to be an awesome car!

Keep it up and have fun!

Update:
Been swamped with work but still plugging away. I hope to get the timing belt and that side of the motor buttoned up as well as get the wide band controller wired in as well as complete the upper engine wire tuck.
Small battery showed up, haven't even unboxed it. Fuel pump is in, need to install new gaskets and mount lower intake manifold + injectors. Then make a few more fuel lines and the fuel system is done.
Still need to do piping work to which John will be heading down and helping fabricate. Hopefully there will be a lot of progress over the next month.

I've decided to run the 9b's. I haven't pulled them off the manifolds and the manifolds haven't been pulled off the engine. If I can get a reliable 350AWHP on E-85 that should be good enough for now. I plan on running a Billet compressor wheel TD04 setup eventually, so to spend money converting 13t's and ultimately spending money again re-working that seems like a waste for a potential 50-150 more hp. To some, they make look at this as giving up on power, but I'd rather spend the money elsewhere such as some PDR work and re-upholstering the interior.

Still plan on rocking stock appearing class at PG?

[niterydr]

Yes, that is the plan.

Figured I would update this:

March has been a busy month for work and booking work. Launched a side tuning business to make my offerings more "official". Car finally got some attention last weekend with a new water pump and timing belt kit installed. Found a 20 year old crank pulley, so a new one should arrive Thursday. Also managed to finish installing the ported lower intake manifold, 1000cc injectors, fuel rails, and a few of the fuel lines. Need to mount the FPR, make lines from the rails to FPR and a line from stock feed line to my "Y" to the lines and the fuel system is done in the engine bay. Then one last line at the tank and the fuel system is buttoned up.

Air filters showed up for the intakes today, intercooler piping bends and couplers expected Thursday. The goal is to have a driving car this weekend on pump gas, we'll see how close we get. A lot of fabrication and wiring stand between me and that goal, and that still leaves me plenty to do afterwards (such as pulling dash, gauge installs, etc).

Now to get down to the garage to get some wideband wiring complete, run a wire for my future oil temp gauge, clean up a little more under-hood wiring, figure out the mini battery mounts, and button up the timing belt side sans crank pulley.

Still shooting for reasonable power levels on 92 octane with "MAX POWER" on E-85. I have 13t's here, on the fence if I want to pay to have housings machined and install them, didn't bother pulling the 9b's off the manifolds, I can always do porting and before/after dyno comparisons later.

Big Thanks to John LaCroix (Pushit2.0) on the help this last weekend and the help he will provide this weekend, hopefully get this car out from the back of the garage and to the front of the garage!

One step at a time. At least your project was not a train wreck then mine.
