any updates?

 

Got some updates, some from a while back that I never posted.

Got the engine bay painted. Got a little junk in the paint, but I can wetsand it out I think. Worst case, it is an engine bay so not like it matters too much. Looks better than it did anyway.


Then my buddy building my engine called me because my engine was newer than we thought and had those oddball piston rings. So that led to me buying some .02 Speed Pro hypereutectics that had the standard rings. Of course, that has led to some other bench racing on the engine, so we'll see where it goes in the next few days.


In the mean time I cleaned up the air lid and intake and painted them. I was going to powdercoat the intake, but I wanted it to match the air lid.



And then I worked on the nitrous a little. Got the blowdown mounted and also ran one of the purge lines. Going to blow it out the fender vents.

Looking good Bryan. Keep it up!

 

looks great man! Im doing the exact same thing with my wiring. Could you post a completed pic of the fuse boxes please? Im still trying to figure out the best way to do this...thanks

 

Sure, I'll try and get one tonight for you.

 

lookin good!! in for updates!

 

Sorry I've been scarce. I had to get the transmission rebuilt in my wife's Trailblazer so things have been crazy with time and money. Ugh.

Haven't really done much on the car other than some little stuff. I had some parts made for it. I made an adapter that I can fit a 2-1/16 gauge in the dash vent.



Not the gauge I am going to use, but one I had on the shelf.

I'm going to powdercoat it and put my air/fuel monitor in there. I'm probably going to make another one and mount my nitrous pressure in one of the center vents. I might even have holes drilled in them so they can still flow air out of them.

 

wow. this is very nice. i read the whole thread. very impressive. hopefully one day ill have the time and money to do something like this.

 

any new work done?

 

Finally some updates!

 

Looks good, in the process of doing my engine bay and i can tell you im more than happy to see the light at the end of the tunnel,i have realized engine bays are one big snowball, oh i will get some new bolts,yeah i should paint those,why not polish that lol,car looks great bud cant wait to see it done

 

Not a bad looking third gen!

 

Pistons are clocked wrong!

 

Yeah, the third gen is my brother's old 89 Formula. My buddy has it now, he's put a new engine and swapped a 5-spd in it. Looks better in those pictures, but it is a good car.

More! Joel is rolling now! 8)




He's working on the heads now.

 

Nice progress. I'm planning to repaint my 01 and soon and clean up the engine bay while I'm at it

 

Been a while, but quick update. Engine might be done this weekend, but definitely by the end of the month.

Nitrous is all plumbed and wired, going to get the brakes put on this week, and hopefully get the interior back together if I can find a damn upper dash panel that won't cost me $400.

 

OK, I went through the nitrous wiring last night and cleaned it up and made sure it looks ok and was done correctly. That is completely done now.

Tonight I'm going to try and get my C6 brake conversion finished up, just need to figure out where the hell I put the hardware I bought for the brackets I made.

 

Good Luck with that - gmpartsdirect.com has it listed for 300.00.
