POSTED A COUPLE DAYS AGO:

Soooo another day of f*ing around and sorry, no start up vid yet. I plan on trying tomorrow since I will have 3 hours free in the garage YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

Since I couldnt start it tonight due to my baby boy going to sleep at 6:30 and his room being right above the garage. Open headers would make him poop his diaper! However i did get some things done tonight:

Installed 2 grounds that I should have in the first place(other ground is on driverside). This fixed my cranking issue.:


Installed my Norris motorsports PCV catch can. Great product and nice qaulity:



Got in my black sparkplug wire boots....story on these is I ordered them a long time ago back when I wasnt gonna wrap my headers. Part got on back order, i forgot I ordered them due to all the other shit I ordered, they came in today lol. Figured I would sport them, they look good and to be honest I wasnt digging my red wires. :

Figured out my JTR bleeder location with upper radiator hose I was going to use. I ended up just rotating the hose and now the 'hump' is on the driver side. Now the bleeder is in the highest position.:


How she sits for start up tomorrow(intake layout is temporary of course):

[FC3S Murray]

Alright guys got her started......fuel pump was wired backwards duh!
Actually got it started on Tuesday but 5 min after this vid I got a call that a loved one was dying so my family and I headed out to WA. We got back yesterday.

Anyway, The motor sounds awesome and runs great. She is full of coolant in this vid since I got that low coolant sensor in that day. The vibrations from the open headers were so intense that shit was falling of my shelves and getting my attention lol.

Some parameters I recorded:

EGT's @ idle: L bank 400*F, R bank 385
Fuel Pressure: 65 psi
Idle rpm: 800-850
Wide band AFR: ......I was getting crazy #'s from 20 to 40:1 afr's...i need to calibrate the LC-1/XD-16 set-up. Maybe the sensor being installed 3'' from the open exhst pipe was throwing it for a loop
The hottest I let the coolant temp get was 195 on the GM sensor and my shitty prosport sensor was reading 220 in the passenger head. I may still have to burp it some. My fan never kicked on and I have to contact frost to see what he programmed my fans to kick on at.

All in all I am STOKED it runs!!
...you can see my dumbass here trying to bleed the coolant right after start up....it dawns on me 15 seconds later that the thermostat has to open up lol

shit ya.

[chibikougan]

Sorry to hear about sick loved ones fella. Good to see that its runnin. Now come pick me up. Gotta seat them rings! Damn your a funny bastard and lmao at shit falling off the shelf. I like the "really?" look you gave them as they fell.

Must come ooogle is it almost BBQ time? I can actually have it at my house now.

[FC3S Murray]

Haha, thanks man. Yeah I was just thinking, " that shit better not of hit my car!"

I am troubleshooting a fan relay wiring issue right now. Once i get it figured out tonight I will put her on the ground. NO leaks, no high temps, no low pressures so all is well.......so far

[chibikougan]

Haha we can go to walmart and grab a fan to plug into the cigarette lighter when it reaches the right temp. Seriously though I used to be a mad hater on these swaps but your build has changed my mind on that completely. I haven't even rode in it yet. Get that fan figured out and get out there and Flog that biotch! Gonna be a sleeper. Normally people are very scared by the rotary noise. At least with my car with the gilmners that was my experience. First race of the year is coming up soon too. You gonna be there?

[project86]

Im gonna say even though you already know but im lovin it. Clean as ever, and Clean wins no matter whats under the hood.

[FC3S Murray]

yes yes...give in to the darkness....muhahahaha.

Thanks a lot guys, means a lot. Yeah, I will try to get it to SCCA if all goes accordenly.
