Is it street ready yet?????

3 gallons will that even get you down the track?

It's a secondary fuel cell.

I will still use my stock tank.

The secondary fuel cell are for my port injectors which will only activate during high boost (prolly around 22psi and higher).

During regular driving and low boost, port injectors are not spraying

So to answer your question, yes it will be able to be driven to the track

Custom WERKS race intake manifold with secondary port injectors hooked up already

Physically, the compound project is finished. The motor starts and I'm glad no leaks internally or externally.

the car is at BTF's house way up in the hill of upstate NY, and he has a mile of driveway filled with snow. No truck dares to plow the snow since its a very steep uphill with tons of zig zags.

That's why he will have to wait until the snow melts before he can drive the car down for dyno tuning.

currently only thing to be worked on are:
- feed line and filter for the 2nd fuel rail (port injection)
- meth injection system install
- wiring the extra pressure sensors to the gauges

I already talked to Norm to create me a hardtop yesterday. He's finishing up with 40rty's unit, and he said about 2 more weeks, before he can start mine.

BTF, while waiting for the hardtop (ETA is 6 weeks from now)....will also start disassembling the interior.........and to fab a 10 point roll-cage.

Nice! A hardtop like the GM Racing one or like a coupe top?

SKY888 · « **Reply #457 on:** January 14, 2014, 03:27:05 PM »

I'm not really sure! Lol

It's that hardtop that norm is developing for the sky. He showed some photos of it.

I believe it's a combination of both???

You need a facebook account to watch it.
Congrats any way

oh I'm sorry...I'm at work right now (no access to youtube and stuff).

When I get home, I'll try to see if I can upload it on youtube.....so I can post it here.

BTF finished fabbing the 5" ginormous diesel cone filter!

Set up is currently producing 66lbs/min, 59VE, 360% air load, 6 deg timing, with zero knock!

Hopefully, in a week, it will be strapped into the dyno for more serious WOT!

Can you close the hood with the filter at that location?

cdflint · « **Reply #466 on:** June 11, 2014, 08:35:56 PM »

Looks like that pesky fuse box is out of the way. Where did the fuse box go?

fuse box is located at the area of the battery location.
so I have to remove the cone filter in order to access the fuse box, if needed.

battery was relocated in the trunk.

The battery fits in the trunk? Lucky. Cant wait to see her in action.

PyrateDave · « **Reply #470 on:** June 13, 2014, 10:07:27 AM »

I was thinking the same thing, The battery is relocated to the trunk to make room for all that muscle up front. The video sounds good, but I know it sounds better in person... lol

its not the stock battery back there.

I have a smallish battery tucked in there together w/ my 3 amps and 1 farad capacitor.
Plus of course a 3.5 gallon fuel cell

3.5 gallons? You will have to refuel in flight

its an axillary/secondary fuel tank (only activated during high boost) for my Port Injectors.

the stock fuel tank with the Direct Injectors will always beactive for daily driving and low to medium boost.

So basically, the 3.5 gallon will be enough for short spurts of WOT

. And probably several passes at the strip once I get a roll cage

I need to have two fuel tanks.....since I'm planning to have 93 octane for DI during daily driving (low to med boost)..........and pure Methanol (VP M1) for PI will be added during WOT/high boost.

Methanol will help COOL the system so I can boost 45+ psi w/o knock.
