<3 OBDII swap...this is how it SHOULD be

Despite the recent troubles I've had getting my car finished, it is all done now. I just went outside to get a quick video of my car. Its about 50* outside, and my new motor is completely untuned. Watch how fast the car starts

Big thanks to 1brd2brd3brd4!

Re: <3 OBDII swap...this is how it SHOULD be

Sounds good, but starts slower than my 190,000 mile, stock chipped L98.

Mine fires up on the 1st revolution, 1st start up of the day.. Dunno HOW, but she does.

Re: <3 OBDII swap...this is how it SHOULD be

What filter intake do you have? One that seals to the RAI hood?

If so, does that have a fitting for the IAT?

Re: <3 OBDII swap...this is how it SHOULD be

love the car. what size are the chambers on the exhaust. i know you have two in the back, from a single mid pipe, then the chambers are mounter tranverse, but how long are they, and what is their interior diameter?
my chambered exhaust just showed up - 31 inches external and 26 internal and 3 inches internal and 3 1/2 inches external. its pretty freeky you can just see all the way through them and it looks like a cheese grader inside on the walls and that is it. afraid mine might be a tad loud - so now you know why i would like to know how long they are.

Re: <3 OBDII swap...this is how it SHOULD be

Inspiring, I want to take my car somewhere out of the norm. This might
be a great project for me a year or two down the road, Ive been following
the OBDII sticky thread, and the stuff just fascinates me.

Great stuff.

Re: <3 OBDII swap...this is how it SHOULD be

Is that a GMMG exhaust? I will have one in a couple of weeks if things go the way I want. Sounds perfect.

Phil

EDIT: I'm a retard, I just read the title of the video. I guess it's a GMMG.
