I wish it was not a hour and half drive either. I would have liked to help you a bit more and get this thing running. Glad you got a few more pieces and those brakes bled. Hope its running when you get back.

I hope you get into the 11's after my poor display on friday.

 

Update:

Well I thought I was starting it last night. We got the fuel system all hooked up and put 3" turn downs after the down pipes. Temporary until we get the exhaust sorted out.

But.....we had a few small fuel leaks we got sorted out, Then we cranked the car over with the fuel pumps off to pump some oil around LETS START THIS BABY, oh we forgot to adjust the fuel pressure regulator so we turn it up to about 40psi and the injectors start leaking that was at 3am so we shut it down. Now I have to pull the intake off and see what the problem is hopefully I get it running tonight. My wife is getting sick of the car I worked two full weekends in a row and the week inbetween I was working on the car from supper time till after midnight, then I flew to Montreal for work for a week now my first day back I work on the car all night again. I am in a hurry to get it running because Saturday i go to Hinton for work for ten days then home for 2 days then down south for a week of holidays so time is running out I want this thing running so its not on my mind steady.

 

How far south?

 

New Orleans then to Panama City Fla. then maybe Georgia for a few days.

 

Haha, I know what's there. Well I hope you get 'er going before then so you can enjoy your vacation.

 

from the looks of it, its already on your mind steady, im sure you;ve even f*cked ur wife trying to figure out a few of the kinks in your setup. lol (maybe thats just me) Your build is like my fantasy. I wish i had 30 g's to just throw into my sexy beast. sooo jelious!

 

WOW!!

what is that off road beast in the back?

 

Well it ran today! I drove it for about 1/2 an hour. It runs good we were mostly road tuning I didn't really get into any boost. I went with 3" dumps off the down pipes for now it sounds insane the turbos whistle like crazy , I hope to have the exhaust finished by Friday. My gauges are not working yet so I am going to get them going ASAP and I need to wire in the boost controller and install the catch can then hopefully get a full dyno tune on the 10-11th of August.

 

Not really my thing so I don't know much about it....a Dodge ram reg cab short box with some big bad built engine and an STS turbo thats all I really know Oh and those are his small wheels and tires.

 

MechaGodzilla Lives!! Run, everyone, run for your lives! AAIIIEEEE!!!!!

Good stuff Gord, it must be gratifying to finally have the coupe on the road again.

 

Great stuff Gord!!!

...can't wait for more details

 

Oh back in second place again . Good to hear its running. We did not mess up that bad then.

 

Thanks guys its a huge weight off my shoulders, not to mention all of the worrying that it may not run. So it feels good having it in my drive way today even my 3yr old is excited its running again. I still have alot of work till its done my wife informed me its been 3 weeks since I was last home in an evening or weekend. I m home tonight but she is gone and Thursday Friday I am working on the car again......I might be living in it soon too

 

second place again....both your plugs on the coolant bypass leaked. I still have one wire that I don't know where it goes. Thanks again Dustin, I don't think I would have got it done without your help. Oh and don't go buying a built block I don't want to go through this again till at least two summers from now

 

Sorry about the plugs. Thought they would hold mine are. But maybe i should look again at mine. No problem it was fun. Well if your working on it on friday i will probably sneak down and help you out figure the last bit out and tidy up some stuff.

I do want a motor but i need alot of support mods first.Thats the expensive part after watching your build.

Well again congrats. I want to hear the car with turndowns. Should post a vid.
