    hahaha oh I know you're just giving me a hard time. :) It sounds... well, not so good yet.. cuz of the scraping. :)

    Hey guys, alright I got it converted finally. there are a few issues, first off, you'll hear what my friend described as 'a legion of crickets drowning slowly in a lake'- I think the shield between my engine and trans is bent just enough to rub on my flywheel- so there's a loud scraping sound...

    It's coming.. I swear. I'm having a hard time converting this file from 3g2 format to something that StreetFire recognizes- every converter I try bombs. SOOO I'll start with updated pics for now. Here's the cold side, final welded and ready for paint:

    thanks guys! Sunil6784, I don't have updated pics of the whole car- yes it's going into my '88 GT vert. I totally agree- I don't care about the potential loss of a little bit of ET on a 1/4 mile strip due to the extra weight. This car is a weekend cruiser, not a 1/4 mile only car. Will I...

    New update and cold side pics: Hey guys I got the cold side about 99% done. I could not get the DSM IC's installed without significant modification so I chose to run 'hot' for now. When I get the money and time I will get a FMIC and get it installed, but I don't have either one of those...

    Thanks for the compliments guys! I'm just glad it's finally coming together. ANOTHER UPDATE: Last night I got the hot side for the driver side turbo 99% complete. I ran out of welding wire at 12:30 last night so I couldn't finish. :mad: That's always the way isn't it? Well, a huge thanks...

    Thanks man! I welded in all the little holes, used sheet metal I had to weld in place to box in the frame rails and the big holes, ground the high spots down, and smoothed it out with All-Metal body filler. I went with that cuz it is stronger than bondo and will hopefully stand up to the...

    UPDATE: I FINALLY got the hot side of the passenger turbo done!!!! I'm VERY happy. Everything is routed away from things, and there's enough room for the oil return line. The turbo is sitting level, and even with the front of the car which is nice, and I got a bit of work done on the driver...

    LOL I wish I had cash too.. I'd just buy a Hellion kit and be done with it. But then again, what's the fun in THAT? :) Thanks again guys. I didn't get anything done tonight like I wanted. Maybe tomorrow night I will get some work done out there! Definitely this weekend at some point. Today...

    No, I'm using internal 'gates. The diafragms will be behind the fender. I am planning on cutting a little bit bigger a hole for clearance for this, but when I was building this section of the pipe for ease of moving it in and out so many times I didn't put it on yet. The exit pipe isn't done...

    Thanks everybody! I honestly haven't had time to tackle ignition yet. I'm going to start out with distributor cuz i already have it, it's costing me nothing, and will get the job done. Later on there's always room for improvement right? :) Coil packs, yeah that's a good idea. I will check...

    My Winter Project- JYTT 5.0, Megasquirt, etc.

    So I found out the other day thanks to Turbomustangs.com that the turbos have to be sitting as close to level as they can. Therefore, my first attempt at setup was not going to work. Here is my SECOND ATTEMPT at this: Here's the hole. It's a bit too small to start, but it's ALWAYS easier to...

    As for the MS, I got it from DIYAUTOTUNE.COM. The price was very good, I think I paid $139 for the MS itself. V.2.2. I am doing distributor, stock ignition for now. I'm not going to have the MS control spark until I get myself an MSD 6a. For now it'll just be handling the fuel portion...

    hahah good point Blackthorn! And thank you. I plan on making lots of progress this weekend.. Although at the rate the weather's going I won't be able to ENJOY the car for at least another 5 months.. sheez..

    LOL well you could buy the premade kit or you COULD find someone who would love to wire it... Hint Hint.. The only thing is you may want to make sure the guy who've you've paid big big bucks to :D gets his OWN car running correctly first.. Then the confidence level will be much higher. :) :nice:

    The beginning of the harness: Here it is, all loomed up, before tucking it into position.. And I REALLY hope the car is fun to drive in the summer. :) I think it will be too. I can't wait! :flag:

    I wired it up myself using their harness pigtail. I have pics of my harness I made if you guys want to see... If you're OK at soldering, and are somewhat familiar with electronics it's no biggie. I would DEFINITELY recommend it! It's almost a 'solder by numbers' game. I would DEFINITELY get...

    My Winter Project- JYTT 5.0, Megasquirt, etc.

    diyautotune.com I got the MS V. 2.2 with pigtail, GM IAT and CLT, Wideband LC-1, and Stimulator for testing. The whole thing was around $450. Think about it this way- I'm SD, so I would have had to convert to MAS.. So that means $150 for a MAS, $100 for an A9L, and $60 for the wiring - and...

    BTW, I DO plan on porting the extra set of E7's I have here, and attempting some aluminum polishing of my other stock intake and valve covers, things like that.
