http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...ps92a8583e.jpg Trucks been running pretty good the past while, so I finally decided to order some more parts for it. While I was waiting, I took it up for the long weekend for some camping... |
Re: Parked Indefinite
...and I went and picked up those parts today. First thing was a shifter for the camaro console that I have. Going to clean it up some more, but I think it's going to look pretty sweet once it's in there:
http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...ps616c0f21.jpg Also picked up a set of wastegate actuators. Supposedly set for 7.5psi, they'll hopefully work out alright, but we'll see. Can't wait to finally start putting some pressure into this thing.. Here a pic of them: http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...psd47e02e8.jpg |
Re: Parked Indefinite
Well, not too much to report, but made some progress on the center console project. Pics:

Anyways, decided to put my hitch back on today. Been thinking about picking up another project car and wanted to be able to tow the future money pit home should the opportunity arise. I like how most of the hitch is hidden with the bumper 2" lower. I think I'd like it even more if I had the proper bumper on there:lol: http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...ps7b793d42.jpg http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...ps7e2c1c6e.jpg http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...psed9a8f6b.jpg |
Re: Parked Indefinite
Nice work and I laughed at the phantom column shifter. :lol: I go for the clutch every time I get in to an auto vehicle as I always drive a stick. :lol:

Re: Parked Indefinite
I'm here to tell you turbos hate flowcrappers, get some real mufflers.

Kind of a boring update, but it's time to get a heater in this thing. Its a bit of a death trap in the mornings without out a defroster. Since there's just a big void underneath the console i started to fit the old heater core in there. It was a tighter fit than I realized, so i had to angle it in there a little. I'm not too sure how well this is going to work, but it should be better than nothing. Here's some pics of how far I got: Hoses from the engine: http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...ps8337b263.jpg Coming down the front: http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...ps624b610c.jpg Down the frame: http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...ps37576476.jpg And into the cab: http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...psc338ad51.jpg Here's the heater core in the console. Still have to wire the fan in and duct it up to the defroster vents, hopefully it'll work out: http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...psf231025a.jpg Pic in the midst: http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...ps3f948e1c.jpg I also picked this thing up for the next project. It's a little rougher than what I wanted, but the price was right after talking the guy down quite a bit. Should be fun. http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...ps864cebc8.jpg |
Re: Parked Indefinite
Heater install is looking good. How's the truck doing with the turbos?

Re: Parked Indefinite
Well now that the weather has started to make a turn for the better, i finally got around to installing those wastegate actuators i bought awhile ago. Made up a couple brackets and bolted them in. I've just been putting around with the gates propped open for the winter months, so its going to be fun to see how it respond to a little more pressure. Hope she holds!

Re: Parked Indefinite
Nice! I somehow missed the heater setup! I dig that!

Wanted to hook up the wideband and since i didn't think to buy a gauge when i picked up the kit, i had to settle for the laptop. Cobbled together a wood stand for it and put it in place. Looks a little goofy but it serves the purpose for now. http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...psxmwif7d5.jpg http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...pseppteloc.jpg |
Re: Parked Indefinite
Nice little stand you have there. I actually have the same little laptop I only use for tuning my C10.

Re: Parked Indefinite
Nice work and I'm interested to see how it reacts to more boost. I'm working on my 40 Ford now and seriously thinking about giving it 2 HX35w's as well. How do you like that MSD boost retard box?

Re: Parked Indefinite
I just read through this whole build thread, you sir have creativity and have the knowledge and skill to put that creativity to work. Just plain awesome, keep us updated:metal:

Well, so far everything's been going pretty good. Pretty sweet hearing these turbos at all times now. Definitely going to have to mess around with the carb, as it has some lean spots, bogs, etc. Rigged up my old iphone to capture some videos, just going to have to find a better place to mount it. Stay tuned...because maybe one day this truck will be too |
Re: Parked Indefinite
What fuel pump and size of lines did you end up going with? My biggest thing in putting the turbos is the cost of it all. I may make all the piping and stuff and put the turbos on later. We'll see. The real goal is to drive it in July. That is a big goal as the frame is literally being repaired and the body is on a dolly. haha

Re: Parked Indefinite
What are the specs on the motor? Cam, Crank, Pistons, Heads? Looking into single turbo my '82 just curious as to ehat you have holding yours together. And are you using any high pressure head gaskets?

Re: Parked Indefinite
Very nice center console! I was looking into the horseshoe shifter myself this last week. But ive got bigger fish to fry at the moment.

Re: Parked Indefinite
Thanks man! Im throwing the idea around of running a single turbo on my 355, stock heads for now but I have speed pro dome head pistons, comp extreme energy cam, dual plane air gap victor jr intake, holley 750 vacuum secondary carb. With your experience do you think I could handle a single turbo?
|
Re: Parked Indefinite
Thanks for dropping by. I like your truck will stop by to check it out some more.

Re: Parked Indefinite
This thing is a beast! I want to turbo my 454 in my 86 one day... But got to have money!
