The Cat finally has claws!!!

Gearbanger 101 · Feb 15, 2007

I know it’s going to come off as a little tame by comparison, since you guys just finished drooling all over hotmustang331's Twin Turbo GT, but just in case anyone cares……I got the Cat up and running finally. Start an idled perfectly with the first turn of the key. Runs like a champ. My tuner set me up with a mail order tune, in order to put a couple of break in miles on her. He said it would be a little on the rich side until I get a chance to hook up my Innovate Motorsports Wide Band A/F set up this spring, whick I'll then use to finalize the A/F ratio and tune it into shape.

The details of my mods are located here. I don’t have any real great pictures of the car yet, since the car’s a mess from sitting in the garage over the winter, but I’ll post up a few soon.

For starters though.....what do you all think of my before and after pics under the hood. Notice anything different?

Then.....

Now.....

.....and just to keep this tech related. Has anyone here ever used the Innovate Motorsports Wide Band hardware/software. Specifically the LC-1 unit? How difficult is it to work with?

Looks awesome man!

And no i haven't worked with that exact one but i've "experienced" a few others,should be an easy deal to set up.

haha I remember you said your car was done, but you wanted the excitement built up around codys TT GT to die down .

Tell me about it. He did a job on my trunk mounted battery hold down too.

....this is what happens when you've got too much time on your hands. I love the Plasma Cutter.

Is the kit intercooled?

ADRENLN · Feb 16, 2007

congrats, i want to hear about how it feels once you get it tuned and can get on it a bit!

Yes, hence the large coolant reservoir in place of the battery at the drivers side front corner and 3 individual heater hoses coming out of the brick above the blower. It uses an air to water heat exchanger type just like the "03/'04 Cobra's, Kenne Bell, or Saleen models.

I thought that's where you store your Gatorade .

Sneaky kit, I had trouble locating the blower snout.

My bad. I thought that was your blinker fluid reservoir since it was so close to the headlamps.

Nice setup!!!

Neat car. I love my LC-1, it's great. Software is easy to use, just read the manual and don't be the guy who can't find the 'any key' The electrical grounds can be finicky, so make sure you pick a dedicated chassis ground and use a low resistance connector.

lol now the cat needs to lose some mofuggin weight!

Superhereaux · Feb 17, 2007

wasn't your car already s/c'ed?
maybe i'm thinking about Gangbanger 101's car

Pennywise2 · Feb 17, 2007

Congrats Brain you must really like your Cat now.

Are you going to dyno your Cat to see where you are at
