Nice! :)

Really can't wait to see this car run man.

Re: Probject JDMvette
 

Got to work on the fuel injection conversion this week and added a surge tank and got everything plumbed.

More fuel injection conversion pictures.

Re: Probject JDMvette
 

Got a few more things done lately. I installed the turbo intake, MAS, and air filter. There wasn't enough space to run it all in the engine bay so I had to put the air filter on the outside of the core support. Luckily we run solid engine mounts so nothing will move and I can run it like this. I also got the aluminum radiator mounted, the radiator came out of a forklift and was the only thing that would fit. Even a half sized Civic radiator was too tall. In the pictures, it's just sitting in there but I finished the mounting brackets today and didn't snag any pictures of them. Working on the radiator hoses is going to be the next hurdle. Getting the water pump outlet to 180* and getting the thermostat housing hose to run under the intake will both be interesting. I have a couple j-bends that should help in the creation of hard pipes and eliminate the issue of long rubber radiator hoses collapsing.

Re: Probject JDMvette
 

Looking good.

I am sooo going to pick your brain when I find a nice 'vette 2 door

Re: Probject JDMvette
 

Very cool! Nice progress, keep it up!

Re: Probject JDMvette
 

I think so. Exhaust, wiring, fuel system, and intercooler are all done. I'm going to work on getting the motor to hold oil tonight (cooler, turbo feed, and oil pressure gauge) and hopefully test fire it tomm without the radiator.

Ghetto top mount intercooler pictures and write up.

Re: Probject JDMvette
 

Awesome! That intercooler is so Chumpcar. I'm surprised, you managed to do it about as, if not more ghetto than we did it :D I'm looking forward to playing around out there with another turbo car!

Re: Probject JDMvette
 

It runs and moves under its own power now.


Walk around of it while it sits idling.

Re: Probject JDMvette
 

Is that even possible anymore? lol.

I find this project hilarious, disturbing and awesome all at the same time.

Re: Probject JDMvette
 

Dude! that is awesome. You guys did an amazing amount of custom work in an incredibly short amount of time. Does it drive?

Re: Probject JDMvette
 

What is your AIV looking like now? $0 for Chevette, $500 for DSM engine/turbo setup?

Re: Probject JDMvette
 

That's the plan. I'm using the Anglia ebgine swap as an example in the rules as a guideline. Who knows what the officials (or the other racers) will say though. I just want to pass a few cars and have fun. I know we won't win but it'll be interesting though. Half the fun was had before we even got to the track in building this goofy thing.

Re: Probject JDMvette
 

This is the best response I could hope for, it made me laugh.

Re: Probject JDMvette
 

It moves again.Made it to the track and we get teched at 8am.
