alright i need some pics of good looking non cluttered engine bays (any tpi type motors) to give me some ideas on where to run all my wires and hoses when i get this new motor in. i need some visual help on what to do to make the bay look clean and simple

 

I'm redoing all the fuel lines at the moment, so it'll be a little less cluttered.

 

here ya go

Firedawg225, wouldn't you rather put a cold air intake on instead of pulling the hot air from the engine compartment with that open filter?

 

ya but after 9000 into the motor i sort of didn't have the money left. i have it in the plans though. along with bigger headers and a th350 trans

 

looks good guys, keep um comin! does anyone have any tips/suggestions for making the engine compartment with a stealthram less cluttered??

fire...i see you are running 8.4X and trapping 80...i cant get out of the 9's and am trapping 81

 

 

Heres mine. Need to clean it up after painting the car.

 

all depends on the track. long 1/8 short 1/8. some track are true 1/8's. the track i was racing at is almost a true 1/8. I know another thing which i tought was pretty cool. I would race people and there times would be close to mine but there MPH were 10 lower then mine. I would lose some of my races at the start and win at the end. all i care about is the big W. hehe oh well

 

It's all about traction.

Last season on my old 355 setup, I could run 119mph every pass, and any e/t from 12.40 to 13.80 all at 119mph. It was just how I came outta the hole that mattered.

True true but my times have nothing to do with that. true i have some suspension work but my tires suck kumho 711. not the greatest i still spin um off the line even with a good burnout.

 

Your HSR looks much taller than mine.

 

That's b/c theres nothing on it.

 

man i cant wait to get my motor in!!

whats everyone doing for their injector plugs? are you using the stock wiring harness or something else? i noticed free birds looks different than mine...

 

I'm using the commander 950 harness from holley.

 

Although I have a different application, you can do the same. I turned the injectors so the connector would face the center of the engine. This hides the wiring.

 

Sweet, most guys I see that do V8 fieros put the engine in the front.

 

thanks for the idea FIERO. thats what im talking about, that looks sweet.

does that make it difficult to install/remove the injector plugs???

 

I would imagine it's more difficult. But removing the top plenum takes me 5 minutes. So I wouldn't consider it hard at all.

 

i'm using the C950 computer from holley. bought the hole it. makes it very easy to change the computer. you can watch and change thing in realy time.

 

Ive never seen that before that really makes a difference...

 

Here's mine. I also used the C950 w/harness, getting rid of the factory harness will clean it up a LOT.

 

No PCV?

 

i wont be running a pcv either

 

Why not?

 

i have a couple breathers to help woth pressure build-up and dont enjoy what the pcv leaves behind in my intake manifold

 

Hi!
Can i ask you all what heads and cam are you running whith?
I cant decide if the ZZ4 or the ZZ4 hot cam will be the best for me and what heads for that combo.I will install the HSR this winter and dont wont to make any misstakes this time.
And do any know vere to by a fuellinekit to the HSR?
Thanks!

 

I want a fiero now..

-- Joe

 

I'd use something bigger than a zz4 cam. ~230/236 depending on cubes and head flow.

 

as far as the fuel lines are concerned...cant really buy a kit, gotta make one. see www.stealthram.com for more.

 

Will the HSR fit under the stock Iroc hood fine?

 

A little bit of clearancing is needed. My hood has the insulation removed and that is enough.

 

 

Beautiful bird there.

 

very nice motor formularpm!!!

 

Eh...its ok, thanks for the kind words.

 

Here's mine:




I'm running a Commander 950 system and harness as well. My car originally had a CC Quadrajet, then was just plain old carb'd, and now it's fuel injected I still need to neaten things up a bit, but it's not too bad. Now if only I could get it running right

Any of you guys with HSR running the 82/83 OEM glass hood? My STB wont clear the hood so now I'm really worried about HSR clearance.

 

nothing special, nor complete..
I drove the car for a week and cracked the block ... Never did take pictures of the engine in working trim..
It did move the car nicely though..

ps. gotta update my sig

 

Fuel pressure gauge representin'!

 

2004.......

 

2005.......

 

went with the HSR for a little more power? looks good...and fast

 

Dont know about more power, first reason to swap was the PITA SR install.......

The big diffrence was in the procharger swap from 600b to F1


/N.
