ok thanks Matt!

 

It Runs!!!!!!!!

 

Hell Yeah!!!!

 

Well?.....is this beast really running yet?? the suspence is killing me!!!

 

WTF Video please.

 

Arrgh!!!....Im about to DIE already, the suspence is making my heart skip beats!

 

haha yea, that was me over on Franks name. It runs, fired on first crank, no big surprises. Except the drivers side drain fitting was either not tight enough or needed a gasket so it was leaking a little. Went out and bought some vacuum line and fittings, Frank made a gasket for the drains, reinstalled them. Then we fired the car again with the drain stuff off so it just drained into a pan to make sure they were draining, quick due to not wanting to lose too much oil. Then we did some more stuff and fired again with all drain hooked up and it all looked fine, except the pass side feed wasnt even on finger tight, haha. So that started leaking and we tightened it down. Now i am pretty sure we have all of the leaks and stuff with the oiling straightened out. We gave the car some throttle as the up-pipe was not connected to TB and put our hand on the outlet of IC and def felt some air moving! W0000T! Also FWIW, the turbo compressor wheels are spinning, a blur at idle, and the turbos are not smoking at all so i may not need a restrictor.

After that was all done we decided what the hell we were going to do with the exhaust. Remember quite a few posts ago in this thread i posted how the DP's were not far enough out to get the O2's in? Well that is one easy easily solved... plug em and get new bungs welded into the start of the Y pipe. However the pass side DP has the lip of the k-member in way to attach a pipe, and the starter is in the way a bit as well. So our solution... cut the last bend of the DP off, turn a little bit so it moves left and down a bit and re-weld. So we took the DP off, cut the last bend off, turned it how we wanted and marked it. It is going to be re-welded tomorrow so it fits perfect so we can get a y-pipe on there and also have it lengthed about 2" so we can have access to the O2 sensor on this side.

Hopefully by the end of the week i can get some kind of Y-pipe made for the car (no really good exhuast shops around here) and then get it tuned next week.

I got some video of the start-ups and idles and stuff. Pretty boring and pretty loud being open DP's but i am loading them up now and will make them into a vid and host tomorrow.

IT WORKS!

 

congrats man, I cant wait to see the vids! And LOUD is NEVER boring, lol!!!

 

It's always great to hear your project coming to shape. All the best to you on the dyno. Those rims are still rediculously sexy on that trans am. Take it easy, man.

 

lol thanks man. Hopefully when we get this DP altered a bit it fits great so we can get a y-pipe fabbed.... Threw the Borla it should be stealthy! Going to add a cutout where the Y merges as well.

Video is optimizing

 

What sort of PCV setup are you going with?

 

stock with breather on oil cap and running a catch can. See how this works for now. If i have issues i'll alter it more

 

Do you have a Pic?

 

The catch can is being made currently. You can see the oil cap breather in a few pics above however. The catch can is going to be installed in the mount that used to hold the AC condensor.
