A little background.....All this weekend UPS has been to my house almost everyday. Everday I came home from work I had a package waiting for me. I got some packages I expected, some I didn't and then didn't get some I was waiting for. I worked on it a little every night and finally got to a good stopping point tonight. Here are pics of the progress....



I made this switch panel a few months ago. Never had anything wired to it though. I have a few more switches than I need, but before I always seemed like I ran out of switches, so this time I just put as many could fit. And yes, the push button start does work and it will still start using the key.



I mounted my ignition box to the front of my driver side rear seat delete a few weeks ago. I like it back there because it does not get hot and I can easily adjust my timing retard from the inside of the car. It is a Mallory 685 with window switch, timing retard, and even a two step.



One of the first things I finished tonight. I got all my gauges mounted and hooked up. The top is a Dynotune Digital Fuel Pressure gauge which is awesome. It is by far one of the most accurate gauges I have ever had. The last two fuel pressure gauges I had all read around 30PSI at WOT when this one reads exactly the same as an analog gauge I had hooked to a fuel port. The middle gauge is a Dynotune Wideband A/F Ratio Gauge I have hooked to my LM-1 that is mounted in my back seat (more on that later). The bottom gauge is a Stewart Warner Digital Tach with Shift light. I really like the small compact design of this compared to a bulky 5" tach mounted on my dash. It has a playback feature and also shift light brightness intensity settings.



The almighty LM-1. I got this from a friend that sold it too me CHEAP. All I had to do was buy a gauge to mount in the a pillar and then hook it up. He used it twice and I have 150 bucks invested in it INCLUDING the gauge. I like it because I can data log up to 45 seconds with it and even have live readouts on my laptop.



The Laptop. Tonight I mentioned to my dad how much easier it would be to program the A/F ratio gauge with a laptop and he was like, "well I have a spare one at the office you can have and I'm sure it will work." I was expecting some early 90's dinosaur that had a black and white screen. Instead I got a Dell Latitude D600 with wireless internet, DVD/CD burner, and it was pretty much brand new. Now I have something to tune the car with and look at **** with from the comfort of my own bedroom. I am typing this thread from my bed as we speak. Yes, it is cool, it is the interweb.

Now, the pride and joy. I posted pics of the painted bottles a few weeks ago, but here they are in all their glory!!!





Now when I had first thought of buying the rear seat deletes this what my plan from the beginnning. At first I just thought of painted the bottles black but instead decided on doing some custom work to them. They are mounted on 860 performance bottle heater/brackets. They only thing missing from this is the blowdown tubes. I am missing 4 fittings and then I will be able to make them and get them on.





This is going to be my Sunday project. Some stuff got mixed up during shipping so I won't have the 3.5" Chrome Moly DS until Tuesday but I am going to get it painted and in the car on Sunday. Tomorrow I am going to start wiring the Nitrous kit since that isn't done yet, but I really can't do much because my Nitrous Outlet TPS switch with dual channel window switch and 1st gear lockout won't be here until Tuesday either. I might DL the instructions and at least get all the wires ran so I can spend only about an hour to hook it up and throw the driveshaft in. I'm hoping to have it all done by Thursday night with at least 250 miles on the rear. I can do the other 250 on the way up to KC.

Can't wait until next weekend!

 

NIce ... love how the NOS bottles are mounted. I munted my one over the hump but that looks trick bro.

 

Man you got like a lot of parts i want to buy very soon. LOL What brand a-piller pod is the? Also definitely report back as to how the S-60 install goes and everything else i plan on buying one pretty soon.

 

Thanks man. Last time I did the nitrous on my old car I was in a hurry and just kinda threw everything together. It looked good but not the best. This time I had a buddy help me who is more **** than me (which is bad) and who is also a wiring guru. I was happy with the results.

I'm really not sure what brand it is. It was on the car when I bought it but had different gauges in it. I had an Autometer one in my old car but it was black and this one matches the interior paint EXACTLY.

I'm doing the S60 install on Sunday so I will def post pics and everything else when I do it.

 

Looks good! I plan on going to the shoot-out to watch, so I'll probably see you there.
