the 2 boxes.. (1 MrSteve) (1 Smitty )




Scalbert, nice packing job....(those damn peanuts where everywhere!)..








Steve, what is this for?..spacer and washer for pulley???


Lots O bubble wrap


More Bubbles


Holy hell... there it is... was wondering if I was going to bubble wrap the entire Funeral Home floor...


The Welds are awesome...










more boost.... bet they will have no clue when they see this sleeper in their review mirror...



Thanks Scalbert , you made my Christmas one to remember!!!!... I will polish the intercooler next week and install one weekend in January.... I will be in touch...

 

Hey, it's Christman, no red ribbons?

 

The boxes are HUGE aren't they ?

 

yeah, the UPS guy hates me with a passion.... he was laying on the horn when he pulled up...

 

Yea, Steve goes absolutely NUTZ with the bubble wrap and PEANUTS! When I received my things from him I was seriously lost in all the stuff. The bubble wrap is fun afterwards though.

 

Those boxes are so big that he was probably worried that someone was shipping you a body

That should look very nice polished up under the hood. Congrats

 

congrats, thats teh shit smitty

u got the hbp too right??

 

Yep..4th pic.. lower right right below the res. tank...

 

sweet!!

 

Wow that's some serious hardware! Is there another radiator for the IC or just that big tank? Looks like a nice rig. A couple of days ago it was like 5 degrees and dry out here. I was thinking it would be nice to get the S/C and experience that kind of power all the time.

 

That is the FPR re-cal kit. That will decrease the ramp rate of the fuel pressure. It will still go over 90 but not near as often. In other words, much better for the fuel system.

Hey, I tried to make it complete and I am glad you like it.

 

Technically he had the HBP which is the 3.275 inch alternator pulley. He now also has a 3.5 inch SC pulley (down from the base kit's 3.8 inch). From what I can tell, an even smaller pulley could be run with the IC to get upwards of 9 PSI boost; maybe a little more.

In other words, I see no reason why a CL-S6 SC/IC couldn't easily make 400+ WHP. Now using it is a different story.

 

Not enough margin to cover red ribbons.

 

Hey, I worked for UPS many years ago and know how packages are handled.

 

Looks good. Maybe I don't want to wait till late February to install it.

Steve, do I need the FPR re-cal to use with the E-Manage prior to the IC is installed?

 

Yes, two copper heat exchangers (GM van heater cores actually) will be shipped on Monday for each system. It turns out my torch welding isn't as good as my father-in-laws and needed some touching up.

 

One more thing. Did you ever think of using braided stainless steel lines for the coolant to dress it up a little?

 

No, but it does relieve some of the over pressuring.

 

Did you want to pay $500+ more for it?

Yes, but it was cost prohibitive. Heck, there is about $75 worth of hose in it already.

 

I might need to check my FPR and/or fuel pump soon. In 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gear i'm maxing out at 86psi and dropping back off to around 78psi at redline. In 4th and 5th gear at WOT I still see 95+ psi. No pinging is heard, and I was running pig rich on my dyno, but back then I was seeing 95+ psi at WOT in all gears and backing off to 85psi by redline. I gotta get that wideband hooked up next week.

 

I see a problem!! That is not the correct pump.

Although it will work fine it is the smaller of the two I have used. I used that one on my old Typhoon as did many other individuals. But the one I used with this kit so far was the 750. It has a higher flow rate.

Can you check and see if both are 500's?? Let me know and I will run to Wal-Mart and pick up the correct ones. I had grabbed them quick early one morning (about 5:30 AM) and didn't really look.

 

Those welds look great. Hmmmm maybe I want mine polished too?

 

Smitty hit me up on IM err something tomorrow, I have a good idea on how to mount the wideband O2 gauges we purchased.

 

Which one did ya'll go with??

 

AEM. $405 shipped. Included the O2 sensor, gauge, etc.

The center section of the gauge shows the true AFR. And there are 24 multi-color LEDS that go around the outer edge.

 

Steve,

I just sent the payment for the remainder of my balance.

Thanks

 

That is a nice unit!!

 

The only problem we may have with it is that the wiring harness to connect the gauge wiring to the sensor is about 1" x 1". It might be difficult to fit that through the firewall without cutting the wire and then re-connecting it after the wires have been routed.

 

I had to cut and solder mine. Just FYI...

 

That's the plan, unfortunately. I'm trying to find time next week to have the bung welded. After that I'll hook it up.

 

I hate you guys.
That is beautiful tho. Haven't been around much lately. I didn't even know you finished the IC project. good job!

 

I am so damn jealous of you guys and your 6 spds and S/C and I/C kits. That could have been me.. j/k.. I'm happy for you guys. Everything looks great and props for putting quality parts on a quality car.

I'm green with envy as well... I thought MrSteve had an auto?? If I knew someone up here in Seattle that could install this stuff I'd seriously consider the IC. As soon as we start seeing MrSteve's 12 second runs I know I'm gonna catch the fever.

 

I do have the automatic transmission.

Look for a 12.x time slip on March 5th. That's when the tracks open. Unless someone decides to rent out a track prior to then.

 

Couple of questions for scalbert...

What kind of tank is that (Make) you provide in your kit and what is the capacity?

In regards to the pump, where does it attach? on the tank or between the tank and IC?

Several weeks ago you mentioned you were, with your father in law, looking for an early model Chevrolet. Have you found one. Sorry for the off topic question, just wondering.

That kit looks great guys, if I were'nt going off in a different direction, I'd have a blast with those performance mods.

One more thing, why use the AF meter instead of EGT guage. I've been under the impression that EGT can tell you more that the AF meter. Just wondering.

Also, since the emanage system is piggybacked off the ecu for timing and other control, has anyone looked into a system that detects knock on individual cylnders and has the capibility of retarding individual cylnders rather than retarding all six of them when the knock detecter detects a knock? Knock Knock?

Great mods to you guys, more on mine in future weeks.

 

There was a thread a few months ago regarding EGT vs. AF.

Basically we said EGT would work, but no one knew what the proper temp should be for normal operation, where to mount to pyrometer for proper readings, etc. Also, the EGT values will change as ambient temperature changes.

There is no reason an EGT wouldn't work, it would just take a little more playing around with to make it work for you becuase it would require a little experimentation.

 

Xmas came one day early.

Can't wait to see the slip(s).

 

That is just a Summit Racing 4 gallon vertical fuel cell.

It is place in line near the tank.

Nothing yet, we are waiting until after the new year to begin serious planning.

The EGT tells only part of the story about the Air/Fuel ratio. Although it is important the A/F ratio, if it can be measured, is certainly a better tuning value to use.

Nope, I haven't seen a piggy back system which has that capability.

 

Thanks scalbert.

 

Looks awesome guys, more power
