Swifty's never-ending project thread!

[Swifty1638]

ah..when is the last time my car HASN'T been to a damn dyno day? huh? That's right.

It's tuning that's usually holding me back. Fuckers.

The most common method for dealing with mix changes has been pioneered by Jim Hayek the last few years. I believe he calls it the Let'R Buck tuning method.

Jesus Swift, by the time you've reached your goal I'll be 30. Then you'll wonder, "Why the hell didn't I just do all this shit right away and have fun for ten years with it, instead of waiting."

I fuking told you I have a camera you can HAVE! It was sitting in front of the microwave and anna hit the button to open the door and thwack! cracked went the screen. It still takes pics just fine. Rosey has the charger for it, or you can buy your own for a few bucks. It's got a small SD card in it, but those are cheap as hell ($10 @ microcenter)!

[Swifty1638]

ya ya ya...i suppose. if peter shows up give it ho him and then he can give it to me.

[scheides]

Shows up to what?

[Swifty1638]

bees. im still waiting on john.

[scheides]

Are you drunk? Wtf are you talking about?

Sure, I'll give it to peter...ummmmm ok.

[Kracka]

Reading this thread makes me want to ban Swifty right now.

[Swifty1638]

not drunk..peter was going to stop by to bees tonight before coming out to fridays..so there!

Currently, the car is bumperless, timing belt less, fuel injectors, and etc. John is redoing wiring and moving the MSD, fuse box, and mocking/making my 3" upper ic pipe. I ordered a new red tial wg, got my electric exhaust cutout, and then i gotta put it all back together. JMF DRAG manifold is on the car, but for mock up. The new q45 tb i got i can actually fist..it's serious. So, that's the plans/car as of right now. Once done, it's tuning and paint.

There, was that so hard? Who know John was doing work for you? You mean Pushit2.0?

Random half-tidbit comments = fail
details = win!

please continue.

[Swifty1638]

yea, pushit is. I HATE HATE HATE wiring, so he is doing it. And, I can't weld aluminum, so there ya go.

Wow, my head hurts.

[niterydr]

So you are actually going to fully assembly and wire in everything this season?

The 500+ you made last year at 24psi wasn't that bad at all considering the issues you still had and well...how the car was put together. A little polishing and tiddying up loose ends and you should be good to go this season.

I already told you the AEM can comp for changes in afr if that wideband is wired into the aem and calibrated correctly (as well as accurate). It is the octane swings related to timing that I was worried about (as Shane mentioned above). In the end its your car and whatever makes you happy.

Post up completed pictures when you are done.
