Hmmm.. Interesting.
I'm about to just try to sell the whole car, maybe just put als1 manifold on it and drive it for a little, or part it out. Kinda done with all this stuff. Sick of driving my S10 everywhere and wanna buy something nice to drive.

On a side note I ordered my gauge set last night. Need to get a wideband, boost gauge, iat gauge and figure how I wanna mount everything. Think the car is going Tuesday to get the rest of the exhaust done.

so i dont think this setup is goin to work. finally actually got to drive it a little eventhough its not really tuned but got up to 40mph and my iats were in the red @ 130 degrees. it could be something to do with the tune or where my iat sensor is mounted. i dunno.
just making me more and more wantign to drop this project. thinking of doin a big cam t56 setup maybe so i can actually drive it at least.

Man when you go as far outside the box as this, you got to expect problems. This is the most unconventional swap I've ever seen, and I had my doubts. For as little money you got in this car I think it be dumb to sell it. Put a car intake and tb on it, and burn the tires off of it. When the mod bug bites again, do a turbo And make easy power.
It's easy to give up when your frustrated. But no one ever became successful by giving up.

i just want something nice to drive with everything working which this will never have. unfortunately i cant sell my truck and cant save money worth crap so this is the only thing i can get a decent chunk of change out of to buy the car i really want.

man, I love watchin videos on your channel, i'd like to see something like this project documented as well as you do in your videos.
you can really tell that you follow a real passion.
Sorry to hear you want to sell it already. In all honesty I have thought about selling my S-10 once I get it completed. Just want something reliable to get me around when home, and Mom can use from time to time if she needs to.
