Couple of small changes:

Relay to power ECM and anything else that runs off that pink/blk circuit(Inj Harness, other crap).

Bracket to stabalize the fuel return line(it kept working lose):

And some general clean-up, wire loom, etc..

Anytime you want.. You know the address..

I've thought about having a meet/wrench session but its getting pretty late in the season and the weather will be getting nasty before you know it.. I'm not sure what kind of turn-out we would get at this point.

Also, I'm not sure how much longer it will be in 1 piece.. I'm itching to throw this 80e and AWD case in..

Re: Photoshopped picture?

So I finally worked up the nerve to kinda get on it.. I'm still running a very conservative tune. Very mild timing, kinda rich fueling and just 5lbs of base boost.. This was not a boosted launch.. Just stepping on it(well ~90%) off the line..

0-60 took 4.8 seconds.. I held it till 70 then let off. I'm scared to hold it to the floor for the 1-2 shift. I'm not so sure the old 60e will take it.. I suppose if it took this than it would probably take another 10% throttle & 1000 RPM...

I'm not getting any knock here and as far as I can tell everything else is looking OK as well.

I'm thinking about trying slightly more aggressive timing, re-adjusting my main VE table and seeing what happens. If that works out I'll plumb in the boost solenoid and try more than 5lbs of boost..

So I've been working on the tune some more and I am at the point where I have entirely too much power for 2wd... So....

Cleaned up and ready to go back together with new input shaft:

Re: Photoshopped picture?

So I ordered some end-mills for milling aluminum and took a shot at making an engine plate with my CNC machine...

I am more than happy with the way it came out and also how well my home made machine did carving out the alum..

Time to ditch the 60e and install the 80e, AWD case, and Coan converter..

Out with the old:

Prepping the new:

Nice. Been a while since I saw this - can't wait to see the finished product!

What converter is that?

It's a Coan. I picked it up from a board member here. Its a higher stall than I wanted(~3200) but for the price I couldn't pass it up. It is brand new..

Re: Photoshopped picture?

I got my tranny cooler lines bent to shape. Hopefully they clear everything when I put the tranny into place..

I also drained the fluid so that I can install a new filter:

When i did mine, I used 90* AN fittings direct into trans with the brass adpaters and still had to "Dimple" the floor a hair to clear the front one.

Well that sucks.. Mine probably won't clear then..

I'm getting a bit closer:

Do most of your run the torque bar with the 80e or do you leave it off? I planned to cut & lengthen it but if its not needed I'll just leave it off..??

Re: Photoshopped picture?

I had an extension plate that came with my Blake kit, so I used it and put the brace on.

Thanks.. Do you recall if that torque bar bolts into upper or lower engine-tranny bolt?

Re: Photoshopped picture?

I think it was the upper.
