Build Thread Enola- Finishing touches

#2,102
You know Scott I think I will do just that. The boost doesn't come on as hard as it used to, starts at 7ish psi at 2k and by 3.5k I have the full 10psi. I am hoping for 375/350 at the tire...
I need a larger water meth nozzle the 7gph is not big enough I ordered a 10gph.
With a smaller pulley I think this can make 16+psi easy... but 10 won't lift the head.

Thanks Dave it was not easy sir but I do enjoy a challenge.

It runs rather well actually, it is way more mellow than it used to be on the exhaust note. I didn't change the exhaust at all but the intake must have something to do with it.

BTW I did another run after the free rev video with the bypass check valve removed. the car drives just fine and even makes 10psi right up to redline. I call that a success, I will look into a 6rib pulley option for the blower with the correct offset. I figure I may be able to correct the offset I did on the pulley and by removing the extra 2ribs I may be able to go one pulley size down without turning the snout......

or maybe I will just enjoy the 10psi I have.:rolleyes:

Hey Steve, I was going through my emails this morning and got one from LMR as usual with how to videos.

Guess who’s video showed up there?:nice:

You’re practically a star now, good for you.

It’s the first of the latest three, btw.

Well going to try and do this the right way, will be picking up a new fuel tank on the way home. I figure if it has to come down why not put a new proper one up in it's place.
I will not be doing the crazy full resto deal like some others here have. Swap the parts to the new tank and install.

Ya gotta paint it, Steve. o_O

Those aftermarket tanks rust up pretty quick for some reason ( bare metal, probably ).

All that custom wizardry and a new rusty gas tank. Plus, rust spreads...before ya know it, the metal near the tank will start rustin'.

Alas, noobz took the flux capacitor after I crashed it. My Mr. Fushion jr was not enought to get to 88mph and I hit my neighbors garage, minimal damage but noobz won't let me have any of his toys anymore, after all I'm 0 & 2 now. :shrug:

The drive in to work was successful! The car drove well no smells leaks or drips:D

The only thing that needs attention is the cooling system.... car never warmed up, stayed around 160* the whole drive in. I did have the heat on but it has a stock temp thermostat in it so one would think it should reach temp easily....

Ideas? Bad thermostat maybe? What about a restrictor in the heater hose? I don't have one in there, should I? If so where do I find one?
