Hey guys I havent really been posting my builds on here latly. But I made up this video as a year in review.

I will say im very excited to see what the car is capible of in a few short months. April 6th marks the first chance I have at taking the car down the strip, and still there is alot to be done still.

Thanks again turbo and tuning friends for all the help over the last year. A year ago I didnt know anything about what I am doing today. Without you here on TGO I would have been lost in a sea of V8's

Enjoy. Sorry if you dont like the music...

lmao

iTrader: (1)

i forgot to add dont be surprised if it dont run good at first with all the changes u made


when my new 3.1 went in and i made all the different changes my first outing went
15.0 14.8 then
14.5 - 14.00
and the third time it went
13.5 and 13.0
4th it went 12.75 and 12.30's
etc etc

the only thing i ever did was change the tune on it
just cause the car feels good dont mean it will run good , when the car went 15's it ran and drove great but track times told the story

project89

iTrader: (1)

heres the 14.5 run

listen to the car on the first burnout didnt bother putting the run it cause car had issues going down track , then the second burnout is on the 14.5 , the third was the burnout for the 14.01 but i didnt add the video for some reason

no boost chnages just some tunning all done with the stock narrow band i didnt have a wideband in the car for about 4 years i started tunning with a narrow band went 12'switht he 2.8 then built the 3.1 and didnt put a wideband in it till the car went 12's/13.0

Walbridge, gumby

Gumby

I drive by that way almost daily headin to the GFs out by the truck stops.

fasteddi

iTrader: (2)

Youll have to shoot by sometime.

Gumby

Where at, you get a house or in the trailer park?
[my luck you would move in next to my GF ex hubby in the trailer park, he already lives caddy corner from an old friend]

Spent allot of my life riding off road at the ponds behind the trailer park. back when it was more off road friendly.

fasteddi

iTrader: (2)

Im at a house on 795.

Hey fellas my DD died this morning so im frantically putting the camaro back together.

Look at these brake pictures and tell me what im messing up as I have 2 things lift over and dont know where the e-brake cable hooks up. Thanks fellas. I need to have the car on the road by tuesday morning.

Ps im looking to buy a 1999 grand am with a gtp engine swap from a friend for a DD. Cant beat that but i need a week still to get that so i have to drive the camaro 4 days to work....lol










Left over parts???

project89

iTrader: (1)

themetal bar and spring go inbetween the 2 shoes

u can see the notch for it on the one shoe right above the blue spring in this picture

project89

iTrader: (1)

it also looks like u left the ebrake lever attached to the old shoes i dont see it installed, then again its hard to see on my phone

fasteddi

iTrader: (2)

crap i didnt put it on(the ebrake) i forgot. Else then that do the springs look ok? where there all at?

project89

iTrader: (1)

springs look ok but its been a while since i had 7.5 brakes apart.

the eebrake lever usually attaches at the bottom of the shoes, are they attached to the cables still or on ur old pads?

project89

iTrader: (1)

iirc the ebrake lever goes on the backside of the shoe i.e closest to the backing plate

project89

iTrader: (1)

nm ebrak elever goes near the top of the shoe

u need to disassemble them and redo it

follow this

http://www.pbase.com/nufsed/drumbrake

fasteddi

iTrader: (2)

the cable is disattatched and the levers ive removed from the old pads. I gotta get right at it after work tommorow so i hope it goes well. Ive got a spare ride thanks to my GF tommorow but she and i both have to work on tuesday..wtf is up with my luck

project89

iTrader: (1)

just follow that link i posted and u will be fine, be sure to pay attention to the adjusters and make sure they are on the right side otherwise the brakes wont self adjust

dont forget to adjust the brakes once u are done

jack up under the rear and spin the tire by hand, tighten the adjuster till u feel a bit of drag then back it off till u have a slight drag on the wheel. repeat for the other side

Gumby

I had no clue, I always look at the other side while doing brakes

fasteddi

iTrader: (2)

I have a gold and a silver adjuster? Why is that? there new ones

project89

iTrader: (1)

so u dont mix and match them , that link i posted explains how to make sure there on the right side

if u mix them up instea dof self adjusting out as the brakes wear they will close up making the back brakes work even less

fasteddi

iTrader: (2)

ok.

How do i connect the new lines. I have 2 new short lines with the fittings(bubble flare) to screw into the brake cylinders. Now on the other side I have a cut brake line(the main line) and then the end of the short brake line I bought. Do i flare these ends and use a flared union to put them together???

something like this? http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/de...1164&ppt=C0248 to connect the brake lines together?

I have compression fittings buy the hand full but to be honest, i dont trust them for that amount of pressure.

project89

iTrader: (1)

u can use the union as long as u can flare the tubing correctly

ive used compression fittingds in a pinch before and they worked fine but i dont recomend it if u have the means to do it properly

fasteddi

iTrader: (2)

do i have to double flare that line?Or can i single flare it? Im in a bind that if i dont get it going tonight then im screwed but i also want to be safe.

Gumby

I had to use those double flares when doing my rear lines.

Gumby

you need to change the settings so it can be viewed on mobile devices ^

fasteddi

iTrader: (2)

im working the flares right now

how do i change that video so you can see it?

Gumby

Oh I dunno, just youtube pops up saying you have not set it up to allow view on mobile devices yet...

if ya need any help im 1/2 a man today, was only 1/4 of one yesterday, to much fun time with the GF sat n my legs were so sore I could barley walk yesterday.

2007xl50

Yeah Kent was fun back in the day and still can be at times, but I'm almost 35 so the young punks in Kent don't go over all that well with me at this point, but the girls are always nice to look at.

Sorry to hear about your DD.

fasteddi

iTrader: (2)

ok fellas got the car back together. Didnt replace the front rotors and pads like i wanted to because there due. But took it for a 10 min cruse. Its starts, it moves, and it stops. Just as it should. Posi is nice!! LOL

I slammed on those brakes many times and no issues else then i wish we had a true abs.

Ill update later its been 6hrs of working on this thing and its time for some food.

project89

iTrader: (1)

how do u like the new gears?
lol i know u beat on it just a lil bit

fasteddi

iTrader: (2)

Works good dave. The gears are definitly noticable let alone if i just floor it it just sits sidways... I didnt do that too much though. Im getting some KR from something. I think its just from the hvac cover plate i put on. I didnt have time to lay a gasket between the metal so it could and is probly rattleing. Its going with KR even when im just driving at 60 and gas it(no burnout).

But else then that its good. It just has to get me 70 miles to work(round trip each day) for the rest of the week which im sure it will.

Off hand how fast do you think 65mph is on my spedo now?? Like 75-80. I went from the 3.23 to the 3.73

project89

iTrader: (1)

im not sure actually since it will be off by percentages not a set number

@ 10 mph it may be off 2% @ 50mph it can be off say 7%

best bet is to fix it in the ecm so that ur datalogs give u accurate readings
then find out what is 25/35/45/55 mph and mark them on ur speedo so u dont forget while driving

btw u know u have to post a video now right lol

Saar

i didn't realize some of you were so close to me.... i'm about an hour west of toledo.

anyways, you using the optical or magnetic VSS?

fasteddi

iTrader: (2)

magnetic vss. There a buffer in the ecm but im not up to tuning right now. Been a long day on that car...lol But I will get into the speedo later this week.

Dave no vids tonight. Ive been busting **** getting that car done and its cold out... too cold. Sure wish I had a heater in that car. Ill get some vids though man as soon as i can, you know that.

Heres the car im going to hopefully pick up this weekend. Its a 98 GT with L67 swap. Green Sedan with stock hood and spoiler about 80k miles on the body. 40k since the rebuild on the motor and trans., Thrasher CAI, MPS on a gen3, SLP Loudmouth Exhaust, AC Delete, SLP front Swaybar


I drove it before and its a nice ride. Makes high 13.90 sec passes with 10psi of boost. But its just a DD for me so no beating the helll out of it. Sure beats the buick lesabre DD I have now. I even get a tuner program and cable in case i need to retune it.

Saar

assuming no other changes went on, multiply your road speed constant by 1.155 and that will get it back to where it should be in the ECM. whether or not you can get the speedo accurate via the pulse divisors, i don't know.

also, grand prix, not grand am.

project89

iTrader: (1)

nice man that car would be perfect with a 1-1.5 inch drop, polish the lil lip on the rims, and some smoked lights

fasteddi

iTrader: (2)

damm i wrote grand am...lol wtf. Opps lmfao.

Gumby

FWD or RWD?

fasteddi

iTrader: (2)

FWD

I have a major problem. I go to start the car this morning. Letting it warm up and it just dies. Then i kill the battery trying to start it. Pull a plug and its soaked. SO i get home from work and go start it. Starts right up but is rich as crap. No alky on either(its diconected physically). I could make 10psi of boost from free reving it. Never getting above 12afr ever. Its rich and from what i see every last plug is black as can be. So its not just a single injector problem.

Help please on how to eliminate issues.

Also my injector duty cycle seemed quite high when i tried to let it idle(but you can tell its rich as it stutters) DC is arround 5% which is way more then it should be. Bad chip? Bad ECM? Bad regulator??

Gumby

I can tell you that often happend to mine when the battery has been undone for a while or its been sitting a while, had to use starting fluid a few times, but it went away once going.

To bad on FWD, need to find a RWD Buick to put my engine and stuff from the Buick wagon, getting to rusty body wise for the GF and kids. Full frame makes it a tank cept the doors are about to rot off, giving it paper bag side impact rating.....

fasteddi

iTrader: (2)

WEll now it started up fine. I did 3 things. I reset the ecm. I put a different chip in it, and also I noticed that if i blew into the vac reference for the regulator it was leaking air. But the leak was because the hose wasent on there good.

Now the injec dc is 1.5% which still makes me think its the damm ecm but that just me.

Ill sell ya my buick cheep....lol make it a RWD
