Thanks everyone for the compliments. Leroy it is idling high I have not done the timing learn yet so the ect sensor is unplugged causing the high idle. I was going to learn it but then started to have starter problems again. I don't understand why I am having such a hard time with the starter. I...

Here you go a video.

I am doing crankcase evacuation on both banks. With the amount of boost I want to run I need to keep crankcase pressure under control.

I just got the last radiator hose in, I will get coolant in it and get going again. I'm almost sure I got the starter fixed came to be defective bolts making it walk over. It also just occurred to me the whole time I have had this build thread know one has said anything about the valve covers. I...

I know what you mean about the rain. I have special shoes made so I will see. I was thinking about going manual disk but in my oppinion manual disk just seem harder. I mean pedal pressure they seem like you really have to get on them to apply them.

Thanks for all the kind words it is great it came alive and there will be a video. I know when it fire up I had a grin on my face so big. As for the brakes I know about the disk conversion hell you can take a whole 73-87 front cross member complete with a arms and swap it on but I wanted it...

I will get a video made. I found why it hesitates I thought it was timing but I'm getting a code 35 so pmd is shot. I went to start it and it would fire and then shut down so I am almost sure its a pmd. I still have a lot of work left to do I just needed to hear it run to get some motivation.

Well I had some bad luck with the starter removed over a dozen times kept jumping teeth. I even got a new starter still did the same I got it meshed pretty good only kicked out once. I got the filters and the fuel system primed had a couple leaks from lines I didn't tighten. I got fuel out of...

Thanks.

I roughed in the inter cooler piping also found a bell housing lower and front cover.

Thanks I used M10 allen cap bolts. They are around 1.5 inches long. That is the reason I went with the bolts so they wont leak.

More pics. Wrapped the crossover and installed it with new manifold gaskets. I also got the hoses made and ran for the oil cooler.

For some reason people are not understanding me I guess. I had said a TURBO engine will get better mpg then a N/A engine. Now that can go down hill real fast if you keep your foot in it due to most turbo engine having fuel turned up.

no luck on the files. if you have some that would be great. what is incomplete about them?

That is why i went t5 cheap and plentiful. I had a t5 behind my 417 hp turbo 2.3 and beat the hell out of it. Never blew. It had enough torque to twist the frame and lift the L tire off the ground when launched.

Thanks. The T5 will hold, unkown how much. We will see and then improve the weak spots that show. It has had a few mods done but no gears. There are gear sets that handle 550hp and even a heaver case. The main failures are from 5000 rpm clutch drops and sticky slicks. There are still people who...

Not sure if it was old design or new.

73-87 chevy trucks with a/c had the round ball accumulators. Not sure if the 88 and up had them never seen one.

I had looked into the banks manifold long ago and was advised it was no better then stock in performance. The reason being is the exhaust from the R bank is hitting the wall. The gases have to make a 90 degree turn plus the ports don't look to flow well. With that said the factory 6.5 manifold...

Thanks, less possibility for leaks with the v bands.
