Oh well...I pick it up tomorrow all new and ready for dyno

Hey!! Who is that cowboy?

 

lol @ last pic.

 

Next time you're at Robs shop, tell him i said Hi. BTW, ask him if my 4 rotor is almost done. CJ

 

Will do...I got the motor back this am and it looks...new! Looked new b4 but it looks newer now. Will get it in the car this weekend and wire in the Haltech. Should be fun...never done the Haltech thing b4. Marc (Spyder)is coming out to assist and I am sure that Adam (AFGmoto1978) will be around as well. Good times!

 

I like how you got Frank, our crazy maintenance guy, in the first shot.

 

Spent the past 2 days working on it...

Haltech is almost installed after some repairs to the wiring harness .
Looks good!

 

So whats the status ?

 

I'm modifying the throttle body plenum to accept the 85 buick skylark mass air flow sensor that's needed, fab'in up custom intake tubing and making a custom dash panel for his gauges.

If spider shows up Tuesday the car should be running that night. Then tune Thursday.

Well See

 

I hope you mean Intake Air Temp (IAT) Sensor!

 

He did. Cannot wait till Sat to see how the thing will do on the track. Hmmmmmm

 

Doh! Ya, IAT. It's done, all I need to do now is fab up a block off plate for the oil injector pump and gauge panel.

 

So Apex do you have to run a higher octane with the fuel mix ? Man I can't wait.
OH went to the site and it say this about passengers " No passengers, other than instructors with paid participants " Man that freaking sucks ,I wanted a ride.Dammit

 

95 octane is key really...I'll run race fuel in with super. Hopefully that will be super enough. No passengers sucks ***! All of the guys at the shop were excited to go also. Hmmmm.

 

So what grade of oil do you have to mix in ?

 

Man I look evil in that picture.

Regular old synthetic oil for the engine and pre-mix in the gas.

Oil injector pump block off plate done and dropped off. Gauge panel tomorrow hopefully.

No passenger deal suck *****, I was hoping to get a few facial expressions from some friends that were going to come. Damn insurance companies.

 

Man that pic is hilarious.Looks like he's going to sheet his pants. Oh Yeah I thought I saw some horns poking out of your head in that ealier pic

 

Didn't hear from you last night. Get it going ?

 

When I left last night the the Haltech wasn't communicating with the laptop.

 

What time was that at ? Oh I bet Apex is a tad steamed

 

10:30 pm

 

Runs.....jesus...took long enough! Tune today

 

So, what was the problem? MAP sensor? Something else? You sounded a bit on edge when you called me yesterday.

 

lolol yes. It's so damn frustrating! Map maybe..unplugged it and it ran..poorly. Went and got a GM map..no good. Put the orig back in..no good. Timing seems all over the place right now. Wanna come out and give a hand?!

 

It's always frustrating to do these things at the last minute! I once got a car started (fresh rebuild, GSL-SE EFI conversion) for the first time the DAY BEFORE driving it 4,000 miles to Florida for a race. Rushing sucks.

I might be able to make it out there this evening, probably after 8 pm.
