Yes this way its nhra legal so when the disconnect is turned off the car will be disabled so i f running and its dis engauged the engine will be shut off qnd only cables on the car that will be live is the postive cable from the alt

[merkmerc]

Starting to look like a car again got the hot side all fabbed and stock dodge down pipe modded , wastegate and screamer pipe done . and bit the bullet and my ls coils showed up yestaurday so ill hopefully have the harness and brackets build before the end of the weekend .

[merkmerc]

hot side complete , screamer pipe complete , head studs in , ls coil swap in the process

[merkmerc]

Finally got the accesory brackets and belt routing figured out with the drivers side alt and now all the belt have auto spring tensioners , and everything now is on final assembly VGT control is complete , ls coil conversion wired and installed moreless got it all sorted out .




Heres a video of vgt control in action just working off regulated shop air to see when it moves ,should spool pretty quick for what it is .. The actuator will also be controled via a gm wastegate solenoid running off of a sub injector map with the greddy emanage ultimate . There is also a cable overide to limit the min size of the exhaust side as well as be able to max size overide when on the highway keep backpressure to a min and help with gas mileage ,

Well the car sat all race season and just over a week ago i rolled it back in to finish it and revise alot of lil things that bugged me like cometic head gasket, Cooling/ wiring etc etc trying to get it all done for the lethbridge charity car show next weekend . Coming along very well

[merkmerc]

more of what let me know ill post details . more pics of the finish product will come this week with the car show coming up and as soon as i get the timing belt tensioner swapped out there will be dyno results to follow after i bang out a tune should be intresting

[bobbo]

Are you painting it? (please say no) What will/is the suspension, brake and wheel/tire plan be?

[merkmerc]

NOPE no paint as you see it how it will be for a long time . As for suspension it lowered 2-3 inches in the front and the back variable via air . Plan is to eventually do an irs swap into the back convert the front over to larger disc brakes and go 5 lug but for now I love the petina stock look with the factory wheels and hub caps . I love the attitude the car has with alot of the vintage decals its moreless a car that pictures just cant do justice lol

the wastegate screamer pipe ...
