07 Aluminator build

Big negative on the today start up. I am pretty sure I was sent the 1/2 inch drop K-member.
The steering shaft WILL NOT clear the header. I raised the motor 3/8'' and wedged the motor to the passanger side as much as possible, no go. Tomorrow I will try to raise the motor more if possible and or put a dent in the header.

 

[explict]

Okay nevermind on that. People working late in the shop. I took two hammers, used one as a punch and the other as a hammer and put a small dent in the header. Shaft clears now.

It's alive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But it does not idle....I can hold the throttle and it will stay at a certain rpm but it does not stay idling. Sounds good when I hold it at like 2krpm. I'm going to check into it tomorrow.

Do you guys think I need a tune for it to idle because of the BBR Stage 2 cams?

 

[GrnBullitt08]

Yeah you'll need to adjust the tune for the cams. Need to get some vids, I wanna hear this beast.

 

[DirtyDogOfTheDesert]

Absolutely YES. It will not idle very well if at all on a stockish tune with those cams. Talk to Eric about writing you a quick base tune for them.

Just wait till you hear it idle with those cams... you're going to love it!

Are you sure it's the camera making it look dirty...? I think it looks dirty because everything is covered in dirt.

Clearly the camera is making this spotless car look dirty

ps. there is fabric protecting the roof from getting scratched

 

[explict]

Haha. Ya man.. car is really dirty from the tow down to the shop. (not same tow as in my sig)

Another problem I ran into last night. The rear passenger injector was leaking, it was because the bung ( I guess) was bent where the injector plugs in. So we bent it back into shape and the leak stopped 100%. I think it was just a bad seal with the o-ring.
going to call Eric this morning. See what he can do.

Have you double checked all your vacuum lines? My car exhibited a similar condition once whent the brake booster line had popped off during a clutch install.

Okay I changed the tune from the Custom dyno tune to the FRPP whipple tune and it idles perfectly. Here is a video!!!!
Sounds sucks, its a shitty camera

Sounds good, nice job on everything.

 

[DirtyDogOfTheDesert]

Those cams sound awesome. You should feel guilty and send me more money!!

 

[stkjock]

clean that poor thing!

sounds good man...congrats on the start up

 

[explict]

Ya once the snow and mud and slush clear up I am going to give it a realllly good spit shine. Probably wont even drive it for the next week...
I can't wait until I get a dyno tune!

 

[alexthejew]

that is SICK. congrats.

 

[GrnBullitt08]

Sounds good, plus one on cleaning that thing, my god haha.

This is what we are dealing with right now, winter is still in full force here. We cant even back Alex's car out of the shop now. Picture was taken less than an hour ago.

PS No one washes their cars cause they get dirty in hours.

That's rough, all the snow in Winnipeg was gone a week ago. We had an unusually short winter.

 

[explict]

So I have a dyno time set and things on order are:
63# injectors.



Haha should there be anything else I should get?
Maybe a larger pulley from Steeda if I want more than the "11-13psi" pulley gives me? Should I get a larger throttle body? Hmm....trying to think of other things..

 

[BlownAway05]

More boost. No reason to have a 10 rib belt system for a big pulley.

 

[alexthejew]

I'm going to have to agree. More boost, more fun.
