Got my wiring harness in from DIYAutoTune. Its their new 24x plug n play for the MS3 Pro and its Gorgeous!!! I have never wired before and all the shops local to me are so backed up they can't even schedule for months out so I had to give wiring a shot.





Wasn't that bad actually! Got most of it on, had the wrong battery posts so getting new ones of those. Next is to just trace the relay wires and hook them up to my switch panel, wire the LC2, and run vaccum lines. Then this baby is purring!

Here it is right now. Need harnesses, gauges, and a gas pedal to finish the whole car.

Got it started and idling a ton better, going to hook up throttle, chute, and fans next weekend and then burnout time!

BoostedC3

We worked all thru the day, got the fuel system fixed, water pump and cooling system hooked up, and brakes bled.

Finally got the tune right and took her out for the first drive!!!!!!!!

Video will be uploaded tomorrow. This thing sounds nasty!

Looking and sounding good man, congrats. We had my dads 76 on the lift yesterday rebuilding a leaking brake caliper. I was telling him about your car as I was trying to talk him into a LS swap for his lol. Looking forward to the vid.

Bad Apache

Isn't the first drive suppose to be out of the garage? lol

Sounds good!

BoostedC3

Haha this was coming back.

Car is already apart and getting blakes lower profile hi-ram intake and 2k hp billet cooler core, all of it sits at the hi-rams stock height which is perfect for me. Bolt on mod and intercooled now. It ain't cheap but oh so worth it.

Car sounds great. I'd been thinking the whole time this thing needs a 417 intercooler. Can't wait to see some track times with this thing.

Narxoleptic

Thats an awesome build and you guys moved super quick thru it! thanks for taking a "meh" corvette and making it wicked!!


I'm in NWA and we host a Charity drag race at Mokan in Oct every year. you gotta bring it over!!

What's the weight this car?

Kadorja

Lord... I thought my engine bay in my 80 Vette was packed...

I've always wanted to somehow setup a old Vette with turbos and sidepipes. I miss burning myself on that chrome.

LSswap

Very nice build. Should be a beast.

I don't see an intercooler. You running alcohol?

Did you weld the cage to the frame?

What did you do to the rear to make it hold the power you're going to make?

LSswap

Never mind the intercooling question, I see it now.

BoostedC3

No intercooler yet. It will get the billet 417 cooler tho.

Cage is welding to the frame in 4 spots. Not on the main hoop because the frame is under the door. We just used a plate to the bird cage and NHRA people said it was fine.

Running e85.

The car is done! We just need to get some front runners (got rid of the old welds) and then hit the dyno!

Its all plumed with vaccum lines, bov, vaccum block, boost controller on spring 6psi atm, and 3 bar map is in.

BoostedC3

probably driver and full tank of gas, 3200. My friends race c3 backhalfed is 2450 but .... street car!

BoostedC3

Been a while since an update. Pretty busy with doing all the small things like vaccum lines, wastegates setup, cooling system lined out, shifter cable fixed, etc

Finally got around to ACTUALLY tuning the car. Scott clark did the startup and idle. Its pretty dialed in because at the time we had no IAC. That is fixed now. Here are a few videos.


Sorry about this one, friend filmed it on a potato


Car seems to be on 7 cylinders now so I had to cancel the dyno appointment for Wednesday. We are testing each injector and coil tonight and hoping my old tune didn't wash a ring out. My old tune killed an o2 and 16 plugs.......woops

Aaron at SDPC

Very cool build. Keep us updated!

BoostedC3

I came to the dyno to let Scott Clark tune idle and cruising simulation. He knocked it out so fast we decided to do pulls on my 5psi springs.

Pull 1: 350 hp 360 tq 5k rpms (timing pulled)
Pull 2: 380hp 390 tq 6300 rpms (timing pulled)

Fixed the timing being pulled

Pull 3: 400hp and 410 tq at only 5000 rpms!!!! (Ran out of fuel had to get out)
This thing is gonna make HUGE power when we go to 20 psi and 7k rpms on the 2nd pump.

Thanks to Josh Heitschmidt for the killer experience!!! He jumped on any and all issues like burnt vaccum lines, burnt spark plug wire, coolant leaks, etc with Joseph Meiner and never hesitated. Best experienc ever and only dyno ill ever go to.
