Project wire tuck

[wick]

I think this thread being called "Project wire tuck" is the most misleading advertising I've seen since Obama's campaign... :rolleyes:

Seriously - Rob - WOW!!! - everything looks fantastic! I can't wait to see it when you're "done."

Keep up the good work!! Spring will be here...someday...

HAHAH Yeah. I should have thought of something else to call it. But it just kinda snowballed. I initally started this whoile thing by just doing a heater core. Then out came the engine, sold it and got carried away. Big time. As it started to grow I couldnt really start a new thread so I just continued this one. Wait till the rear end next. My Eaton carrier is sitting in the nice warm box waiting to be installed. But, my garage is finally getting some room again as parts are finding their way on the car.

Engine bay looks awesome. Love the smoothed look.

Hey, dont I know you......? :goodidea:

[fox fan]

Yeah man. Still accumulating parts. I got in touch with Woody about a short block, haven't ordered one yet though, waiting to hear back from Jay about the topend parts.

[wick]

Nothing special. Just a "tool" I made. A intercooler piping pressure tester. Added the extra schrader valve on the other side to "charge" the BOV. It has to be pressurized to hold boost. Just about done here. Meter is supposed to be here tomorrow. Then its the final few things and it will start.

[97LaserRed]

Always a good tool to have handy! I'm sure now that you have that people will be asking to borrow it! Haha

[cwh19]

Lookin good :goodidea:

Um, no, Bill. HAHAHAHHA Unless somehow time freezes and I can work on it.

[Gray 5.0]

so am i gunna need to " borrow that " to set up my BOV???

[wick]

so am i gunna need to " borrow that " to set up my BOV???


No, I just made it so I can check my piping and the spring. If you want to use it, you can though.

[97LaserRed]

Hahahaha. Told you! Honestly I was thinking of making one awhile back when I was keeping the v6.

[wick]

Hahahaha. Told you! Honestly I was thinking of making one awhile back when I was keeping the v6.


HAHAHA Yeah.

[wick]

If Pro-M would quit dicking me around I would have started it this weekend. All thats left is the rad hoses, clutch cable and intercooler piping from the meter to throttle body. Hook the A/C lines up. Might be 1 or 2 things I overlooked but I dont think.

[wick]

I think I might take the P/S pump back off and paint the resivoir. It looks terrible. Have not decided yet. Might as well I guess. Gone this far with it. Once it runs, its off to the rear end. I'll throw pics of those parts up later.

[gmkillr]

Give me your tensioner pulley to and ill sandblast it for you and you can her a nice fresh coat of black paint.:goodidea:

Lookin Good bro!!:highfive:

Sure. I have 4 of them. HAHAHA Thanks man. You guys back already? When I make the blower belt real tight, I have clearance with the water pump pulley too. About .006 :goodidea:

[mr4teth]

WOW ... looks awesome!

[scott5]

looking good rob.. You think after your done this time you will actually drive it all summer before you tear it apart again. lol haha

[wick]

WOW ... looks awesome!

Thanks man


looking good rob.. You think after your done this time you will actually drive it all summer before you tear it apart again. lol haha

HAHAHAH Thats the plan this time. I am done taking this car apart. I spend more time making it nice than I do driving it. Time to enjoy this thing man. There really isnt anything else to do to it other than converting to black interior. I was going to re-paint this year but decided to wait till next year. That will be the final thing getting done. I should have the Stalker cover back on and clean it off today. Not really much I can puts with until the meter gets here. I knew I should have gone somewhere else. I cant believe this. They say the weather and the "shipping" department is the cause of this. Chris and Shaun are both full of shit!!!

[Viper_ed]

You going to have any clearance problems with the A/C line and the throttle body?

[TooFast98Cobra]

Thanks man

your getting screwed, i'll be over tommorrow with that bottle

[scott5]

Thats the same BS that the Yard store(aeronautical tool supply) gave me yesterday when i called about the tools i ordered and still havent had and its been over 2 weeks..

[wick]

You going to have any clearance problems with the A/C line and the throttle body?

It fist perfect Ed. I will put them on today and grab a pic. They go right under/around it.

Sounds good pal.

Yeah, nice isnt it.

[TooFast98Cobra]

tom green was horrible last night by the way

[cwh19]

It looks great. I really want to come check it out. Maybe whenever I bring out my BOV stuff?

[wick]

Sure.

[cwh19]

Sure.


Cool :goodidea:. I havent had time at all to get out to my car storage place with this damn weather, so it'll be a while probably ha.

[vitaleffects626]

Wow way to much talk bout bovs it sounds like a honda forum

[wick]

HA, yeah. Lets see a Honda make powa like this. Might take 6 of them.

[yeahloh95]

rob will a different length blower belt help your clearance trouble at water pump?

[INSANELY CRAZY]

If Pro-M would quit dicking me around I would have started it this weekend. All thats left is the rad hoses, clutch cable and intercooler piping from the meter to throttle body. Hook the A/C lines up. Might be 1 or 2 things I overlooked but I dont think.

rob, are you running solid motor mounts? reason im asking is cause of motor flex, will that do anything to the way your piping for charger goes threw side clip there. looks awesome by the way.:goodidea:

[wick]

rob will a different length blower belt help your clearance trouble at water pump?

Troy, with the 8" lower and 3.33 upper, this is about the only length belt I could use. Its a 57.5 length. I am sure the belt will stretch a little abd give me a tiny bit more room. I did a lot of search on which one to use and measured a ton. Next option is to turn a couple thousandths off the Votech water pump pulley right at the edge. Currently, the belt is about an inch from the other side at the contact point.


rob, are you running solid motor mounts? reason im asking is cause of motor flex, will that do anything to the way your piping for charger goes threw side clip there. looks awesome by the way.:goodidea:

Rob, I have Energy susp poly mounts in now. With the coupler, it should have enough give to allow any engine movement to not cause any problems. I made the holes a little larger than what was needed and ran a piece of vacuum line split down the center as a cushion/noise barrier. My old combo made a nice rattle noise without that done. Thanks also man!!

[Viper_ed]

HA, yeah. Lets see a Honda make powa like this. Might take 6 of them.

Seen one make WAY more power than you're going to! :sticktonge:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCA6tcitSMM

I think it may of made the most power on Hybrid's dyno unless Robert's Supra topped it.

Nice!!! Why, that idea may have come from you my dear pal!!! HAHAHAHAHAH

[wick]

I wouldnt say way more power either. I might be real close to that. Depending on how much nuts I have with Dave at the controls. It is getting trailerd so that adds a little confidence.

[went9s]

Just another high powered car that didnt run 12's:sticktonge::rotflol:

[wick]

All done except for the meter that must have went to Jamica before it comes to my house and the AC wires that need pulled through the hole in the HVAC box, thata what the silver wire is thats going up the firewall... And the part that GMkiller got me from summit yeaterday. Depending on those dip-shit Pro-M fools, this thing will run this week.

[wick]

The shot of the AC line is for Eddie.

This thing went12's. HAHAHAH Soon it could be saying "went10's" HAHAHAHAHHAH Thats gonna take alot of seat time though.

[wick]

Just noticed, I have to re-route one more harness too. The A/C compressor harness. Its hanging right by the inlet pipe. Damn.

[jaa55]

what kind of caster camber plates are those??

[cwh19]

What did you end up doing for the throttle cable bracket?

[wick]

CC's are AJE. Throttle cable is a braided stainless one. I modified the stock bracket. A little trimming, cutting and re-welding and it fit. I had to shave a good bit for the IAC though. That was the hardest part. I think if I ever go to a FAST system or an AEM, I will incorporate a GM IAC and flip the TB over. I was going to do it this time but it just didnt look right with the huge Ford IAC motor.

[jaa55]

Im guessing your running those CC plates with coil overs?? how do you like them?

[89 vert]

:perfect10: I love the look of the intake flipped. I bet others will try to do the same. Good work!

[Martin0660]

You going to polish those pipes? looks good man ;)

[wick]

Im guessing your running those CC plates with coil overs?? how do you like them?

Yes, I have the whole Team Z front end. Coil overs, tubular K and Tubular arms. So far, I like them. I gotta drive it though to see how they work.


:perfect10: I love the look of the intake flipped. I bet others will try to do the same. Good work!
Thanks Jason!!! I am sure some will. I must have missed Ed with his pictures when he showed his thoughts on his car a long time ago.


You going to polish those pipes? looks good man ;)

Yeah Bob, I probably will. I want to get it running and get a piece of mind. Lower my stress level a little bit. Then I will pop them back off and polish them. Thanks a lot!!!!

[PaxtonShelby]

Looks great Rob!! :goodidea: But don't kill yourself putting it together...this freakin snow isn't going to melt until July...

[wick]

Looks great Rob!! :goodidea: But don't kill yourself putting it together...this freakin snow isn't going to melt until July...


I hear ya Ron. Its more of I want to get it running now. Once it runs and I get some idle time on it with a few warm ups to make sure everything works like the fans and there are no glitches, I can relax some. Take the rear out and polish the inlet pipes to the T/B. The rear end shouldnt take more than a weekend. Just swapping out the carrier to the eaton and installing the FMS cover, and arms.

[Viper_ed]

Just noticed, I have to re-route one more harness too. The A/C compressor harness. Its hanging right by the inlet pipe. Damn.

You need to rotate all of your clamps around 180 degree too so the ugly ass T-bolts are on the bottom side of the piping.

Also, why did you put the filler spout on the Driver's valve cover? I think the breather would look better ther and the filler back in the stock location.

[2001GTTT]

Looks sick Rob!! Nice work

[John4cam]

Yeah this really does look nice. Good job Rob. If you want you can come over and do this to my notch. Since you know what to do now...

The breather wouldnt fit there with the piping. Only other way would be to lengthen the pipe going into the throttlebody and bring it out some. The way those covers are it would be in the rear of the passenger side. I actually have another K&N breather I wanted to use. The plan was to run 2 of them. I thought of the clamps too. It would look better like you say.

Yes sir. Looking good for it. Thanks for the delivery too!

[wick]

The car runs finally. I had some messed up issues that fixed themselves so that means there is something not right. I just gotta find it. 80lb injectors dont like to idle very well either when not properly tuned. It does sound like a pissed off dragster though. I dont know how to post video otherwise I would. Gotta work a couple small things out and all should be good.

[vitaleffects626]

Glad to hear u got it runing I just droped my engine at brockers today

[wick]

Nice. I just now, while in the shower, thought of why one of my problems are here. When I was setting my timing, I forgot to unplug the spout. So, I am way retarded!!! That answers one. 1 more to go which I think I figured it out.

[383taman]

You said it about the im way retarded part we had nothing to do with it. HAHAHA JK

[wick]

HA Thanks Mike!! Theree could be something else going on too. Not sure yet. Been talking to a guy I made friends with a long while ago. I am going to go over a bunch of stuff and test some pin outs on the ecu. One is saying I might have a bad MAF. In which case, I will personally drive to PRO-M and lay the mother f ucking smack down to that cocky bastard Chris.

[surgeon_general]

looking good for sure I hope mine turns out as clean

[wick]

Thanks guys. I just need to find out how to post video now. In the morning, I have to check for MAF voltage with the engine running. o2's are geting power. Its throwing a MAF code though. Checked all the wiring with the meter and everything checks out. Tomorrow I will have a better idea whats going on.

[wick]

Not sure whats going on here but for some reason I keep intermittently losing MAF voltage at PIN 50 on the computer. Idles great then the voltage drops out and it stalls. Did a few quick checks with the multimeter and the wiring is good so far. I have to run the flow chart for MAF diagnostics and see whats going on. My buddy and I are both strongly leaning towards a bad MAF. This will really flip me out. Gotta thank 383taman and 6987stangs for stopping out today. I can tell you this and they can vouch for it, this car sounds sick!!! Before voltage drops to zero, it is real snappy and crisp.

I dont think for the fact that the meter worked perfectly with the 60's. But after a half an hour conversation just a bit ago with PRO-M, i feel better. They have changed the attitude 100% and are helping fully with this. Chris says that my tune is probably causing the problem. Currently I have a tune for 44lb injectors and it runs on closed loop. He is thinking that the system is trying to scale too much and going into a fault mode then hitting zero volts on the SIG RTN wire to the computer. Which actually makes sense. So now I am working on getting a start up file for the 80's and go from there. Chris wants that first then we can eliminate the tune.


I keep tellin ya that motor likes carbs lol

Yeah, I was real close to pulling the EFI stuff off and doing a demon 750 blow through carb. HAHAHAH I would have already made the back tires slicks by now doing 3rd gear burnouts. HAHAHAH

[scott5]

which one? wait i know which one:sticktonge:

sneeky sneeky

[wick]

I went to the 80's so I would never need another injector again, ever. I have an 8" lower with a 3.33 upper pulley which will spin the blower to max impeller speed at about 6200. Right after where I will be tuning the engine for. The 8" lower gives better belt wrap and gets the blower wound up faster. All said and done it should be a fun car to drive. I know I sacrificed some low end with thew Vic5.0 intake but the added boost will more than compensate for that.

[wick]

which one? wait i know which one:sticktonge:

Mind all of you, this was my first time ever taking a video and first time posting one. I wasnt really concerned about making one but wanted to atleast try. There will be way better and longer real soon. It was surging for a few when first starting then it smoothened out an you can hear... HAHAHAHHA

Hey Scottie, go in that link I posted and make the vid work. I know you can. Never mind brotha, I figured it out.

Yeah, I figured it out on how to do it. Not too shabbt for my first time posting a vid. There will be more when I get everything ironed out. This was taken with my Storm so the quality isnt the greatest.

Upper 500's with a 347, TFS 190 Fast As Cast Heads, Victor EFI intake, & a Custom Cam, With S-trim spinning at max rpm......:tearsofjoy:

Your gonna have to leave the belt off of the blower to keep the power that low. If you crank that belt down nice and tight and see 14-15lbs of boost with your combo you "should" easily see 650-700 rwhp.

That combo could make 375-400 rwhp N/A so if you add 14.7 psi then you double your N/A power..... you do the math bud....:highfive:

Going with 15 hp/ pound of boost. Figured 14 psi, gives you 610 hp with 400 rwhp n/a. I would imagine an opened up engine would do better than 15 hp per pound of boost though, espesially intercooled. So yeah, Robs trying to be sneaky about this.:rotflol:

Yeah, I believe almost any shock will work. Juinor has Koni's and it works with his too.

[wick]

Just a pic of the dyno sheet and the tow rig.

[wick]

The PRO-M meter is a f ucking pile of shit. Basically all I can say. Couldnt get anything more than .2 volts at idle out of it which is extremely low. So the idle is a bit higher than wanted. Its at about 900. I got scared and shut Dave down early. We only pulled to 5800. For a stock block thats far enough when your making over 500 RWHP. I am happy and the car is safe with three tunes in it. A street tune, a street tune with a little less timing and a closed loop tune for some better gas mileage on long trips like to carlisle.

[scott5]

man you lost your front bumper with all that power!!! haha

Numbers look good rob.. just sucks that you will probably want to change something on it before you actually drive it again. haha

[wick]

Had I let him take it to 6200 as originally planned we would have gotten well over 600. Dave says this is a high 600 combo right now. The only limiting factor was produced by Ford. Thats next on the list to be changed. He also said I have enough fuel to feed an aircraft carrier. HAHA The A/F ratio was straight as an arrow and perfect. The sheet shows everything you need to see. No dips in the pulls, just straight up till I chickened out. :biglaugh:

[wick]

man you lost your front bumper with all that power!!! haha

Numbers look good rob.. just sucks that you will probably want to change something on it before you actually drive it again. haha

When he was "cleaning" the tires, it blew a coupler off. I actgually forgot to tighten one up. Cant believe I did something so stipid. So we pulled the cover to get it back on.

[wick]

I cannot thank TooFast98Cobra enough for towing this up for me today. Taking a day off work and hauling it was a great gesture. He is one hell of a guy.

[gmkillr]

Car sounds and looks badazz!

You did a great job on the install and fabrication!

That was super cool of Bill to haul ya up there to the dyno!

Congrats on the new found power and I wanna see some 1/4 mile track slips next with the new wheel & tire combo you got!

Should see some high 10's @ 129-130mph depending on the weight of your car.

Good luck and dont go blowing her up before you get to the track....:biglaugh:

Congrats again buddy!:pepper:

[wick]

HAHA Thanks Robert!!! I could have gone for broke, literally, and hit some high 600's, but I didnt.

It sounded like it was just ready to pull hard when he shut it down, you'll enjoy it as is and when you have a block 600+rwhp is easy!

Nice peak numbers Rob, also nice torque.


The PRO-M meter is a f ucking pile of shit.

:cough: PMAS Slot sensor :cough: I don't care what ANYONE says, a blow through MAF needs air straighteners, even with the slot sensor ... I hope it actually drives for you :twothumbsup:

[PaxtonShelby]

Rob - the car sounds great! Congrats!! That is one hell of a project and you should be proud of it.

Now behave yourself...and keep that beast pointing straight ahead!!

So far its not bad. It is nowhere near ready to top out. The graph even shows that. When I get a block it will be set on kill.

Thanks Bob. I agree 100%. So far, I have taken it up the street to see how it drives. It seems pretty good. Its just plain silly to drive though. For some reason, second gear is pretty useless. HAHAHA Dave had a few nice things to say about the meter too. HAHA If they had any pro tubes in stock one would have been on my car. They sold the last one they had yesterday and the order wont be there till Monday. Oh well I guess. Its good for now. Its done and drives. We were talking Big stuff or a FAST controller for my next set up.

HAHAHAH Thats the plan here Ron. Thanks for the compliments also. I am just glad its pretty much done. I have a few things left to button up like the interior. Not much though. Probably a good solid day and it could be done.

P.S. Behaving is going to be real hard with this thing. It fries the hides like they are 195-60-15's. Not 275's.

[Balaska347]

Congrats! Nice numbers also... High 10's... I think I would be shooting for low 10's with those numbers. I would probably be disappointed with high 10's. The car looks great. :awsome:

[frankstang]

Congrats Rob. The car looks and sounds great.

:awsome: to TooFast98Cobra for hauling you there.

Thanks Mike. Even for a driver like myself that sucks nuts at the strip, I should get a nice track number. For the true street event this summer, it will be fun. Cruise with my A/C on and pull off some respectable track numbers. HAHA


Thanks Frank. Bill is one hell of a guy man. For those that have had the pleasure of meeting him, you will understand. We have a good friendship established here. Our familys get along good also to boot. HAHA

I should also say, my IAT's went from 187 last year with no cooler down to 105 this year with the cooler. Similar air temps too. Last time getting tuned It was 65* out. It was 67* at the shop yesterday. We kept timing right around 20* throughout the whole range. To say I now have a fun street car that can drive anywhere is an understatement. I wouldnt hesitate to drive this thing to Florida if I wanted to.

[silvernotch]

10's sounds like another project to weld some pipes inside the car!!

HAHA Yes Bob. That will not happen for a while. I really dont want to do that right now. I want to drive it on our pilgramige and have fun this summer.

[TooFast98Cobra]

I didn't realize how much power it had till you hit it up your road, we will get my car done and take them to the track, see how well your tremec holds up lol, by the way, you are very welcome for the tow, anytime, gets me outa work and away from the wife ha ha

Thanks Jason!! The front cover is indeed off a little bit but I really dont care right now. Its getting an overall paint here soon. Possibly after carlisle. If not then it will be around fall time. I dont really want to lose a month of summer to paint it.

[89stang]

SICK!!!:jaw-dropping:

[vitaleffects626]

Looks killer man.

[biminiLX]

[97LaserRed]

[frankstang]

How's it feel to be behind the wheel of a badass fox ? Nice work Rob.

[AdamantiumSilvr]

Looks really sharp!!

[wick]

Thanks guys.
Jim, its an old steeda bracket I got from a friend. I ran it across the buffer to clean it up.

John, thanks a lot man. Lovin it man. Ready for the re-paint soon.

Brian, nice seein you again today. Its been a while. Thanks for the compliments also.

Frank, I can't even begin to tell you. The power is unreal. Too much for the street. When the drag radials warm up though it hooks pretty decent in second and plants you hard in the corbeau's. I have not stopped smiling in the last week. Just hope this header wrap quits smoking and stinking soon or else I will be getting some ceramic 1 7/8 long tubes.

[TooFast98Cobra]

at least you appreciate it, ha ha

[jaa55]

the car definitely looks awesome, still my favorite wheels ever especially after the polish/painting.

I just thought the rad bracket was pretty cool because i had to lengthen mine to hold my aftermarket rad

[shockstang]

Sweet lookin' ride man. Looks like you did it right.

[Pure Stock]

Looks good wick.:awsome:

[wick]

Thanks again Jim. I like these a lot too. I was strongly considering some saleen speedline 18's but quickly changed my mind.

Thanks Joe! Where the hell have ya been? Call me sometime.
