Finally got some track times after my motor build.It was a pretty good budget build Pulled the motor out in October 2010 and got it back in 2 weeks ago. After we had got it in the CP3 exploded after 2.2 miles and sent metal through my fuel lines and took out a few injectors. So we had to do injectors on the right bank twice. Still not right but good enough to get some runs in this year before the LOOOONG winter. Thank you a bunch to Albert(Burn Down) for hours of help. Now for the build.
Motor:
Carillo rods, main and head studs, stock uncut pistons, keyed, welded water pump, so cal beehive springs. Everything but the machine work was done by us.
Trans:
Same SC III that I built 80k miles ago with a 1057 converter. Not a good idea really but out of money. The converter wouldnt lock for nothing.
Fuel:
60% over injectors on my stock injectors. I would never do this again. It was cheap but not right. They don;t flow the same and it is really tough to tune the smoke out on the street. LBZ 60% over single CP3, Edelbrock 1792 lift pump with Cat 10 micron water/air seperator and Cat 2 micron filter. Relocated the FICM to the fan shroud. No fuel going through it and have 1100 miles on the build with no heat issues. Just made a 700 mile road trip to the drag strip. I did not have to extend any of the wires, just move some grounds and move some grounds.
Turbos:
Bought piping off of Rhall from his old kit. Used a 50mm gate with a Elite Diesel wastegate spacer.GT4294 and a Garrett TV8403. Specs on the Primary are 88.36x116.84mm compressor wheel with a 111.5x101.5mm turbine wheel. 55psi pf boost total. Not enough fuel for anymore with one cp3.
Went to the track this weekend with a best of 11.75@110. I lifted right before the end because it was in the final round but I still broke out so I should of stayed in it. My 1/8th mile was 7.37@93mph and fell off real bad on the top. The converter was not locking at all. I held 24k for rail prssue with a
2100ms tune. I thought it would have had a better MPH.
I posted a lot of info because this was a big budget build and just want to point out what did and didnt work. The chargers are great matched and spool fairly fast. I cant wait to get the fuel to them.
