Re: 2k hp capable street car build
upgrading the cooling system. Picked up a dual LT1 fan setup... it was pretty tough to shoehorn it in! Mounting isn't done but you can see that it will go...

Just read entire thread from start to finish! :crazy
almost a killer sleeper..... the exhaust through the fenders and the 345's give it away though!

Re: 2k hp capable street car build
Thanks guys!
Little more done.
Fabricated mounts for the fans. Welded tabs on the radiator, drilled and tapped. Made a hanger for the top of the fans.

No more out of fuel excuses... this will deliver everything that all of my fuel injectors can use, at whatever pressure they will run at.

Re: 2k hp capable street car build
factory is bottom for ease of wire routing. you can run the fan either way. ive used them as a pusher fan on my mud truck too. took them out of the shroud and run the fans on their own. cant do that with an ls1, they are intergrated. need to be lt1.
need to get the rubber flaps for them to get all the cooling at low speed.
looks like you did a good job of making them fit.

Re: 2k hp capable street car build
I had to relocate the oil filter to make room for the fuel pump drive cable.... finally got that done. The oil filter is now above the passenger through the floor subframe connector near the transmission cooler. 12' of -12AN line later, it works leak free.
I got the cable ordered, still waiting on it to show up. Took the car for a drive yesterday, still working on the Holley tuneup... feels pretty quick!
I picked up a Davis self learning traction control too, have yet to get it running, but it should help a bunch!

lol
"how cute! you need 2 walbro 255's"
you're pushing 1545 LPH!
lol, max volume on your pump would empty the tank in about 3 minutes!

Re: 2k hp capable street car build
Little fun from last night. I'm on gates, he's on motor. He stole the hit the first time, I did the second time.
He makes ~850 rwhp on motor (reher Morrison 565 13:1 solid roller, fogger and a plate too). I used enough fuel for 950 flywheel last night.

Yep, didn't matter much. I was snoozing and couldn't catch him.

Re: 2k hp capable street car build
Tore the car down again, time for the mechanical pump install.
Draining the fuel
Pump connected to -12 weldon prefilter. Fitting between pump and filter required some grinding to clear pump body... a -10 fitting fit fine, the -12 was a bit too big.

A lot of my friends went (dallas racing guys). I couldn't make it though. I will be at TI next month though.

Re: 2k hp capable street car build
Got the pump mounted and in.... primed it and saw 58-60 psi fuel pressure. Hopefully it works well! Going to route the cable tonight and fire it off....

Re: 2k hp capable street car build
Ever wondered what to do when your IAC won't fit on the side of your throttle body because it hits something?
I fabricated a remote IAC setup.

Re: 2k hp capable street car build
Log of the traction control from last night.... I think this is a 40 mph high gear pull on the gates. Not much of one anyway.
You can see the timing retard when the driveshaft rpm spikes up and it kills the spike every time. I suspect I'm giving it too much retard and killing performance, but need more testing to see.
