[LandoAWD]

Shit, Paul. Glad everything but the pump is OK!

Wow... I was kind of horrified that I might read that the car was burned while reading the update. Glad you and everything else is more or less fine!













On with the show!

I resemble that. . . Yes I do.

[99gst_racer]

On a positive note; I had this gem laying around. It's a 280 lph Denso fuel pump for the TT 2JZ Supra. This was a vendor freebie that I got from work a while back. Never thought I'd be using it though. Tight....



Here's a video of both fuel pumps in action. Kinda loud.

[RipperXX]

You're a tease...

P.S. Whats the blue liquid?

[99gst_racer]

Race gas is always colored to distinguish different types/octanes. I'm currently using Sunoco 110 Turbo Blue.


I'll post a video of it running tonight. And maybe take it out for a spin on Saturday. Gotta try out the new GoPro camera too.

[snowborder714]

Which camera did you pick up and where will it be shooting from?

Edit: Just realized it's probably the Motorsports HERO Wide.

[99gst_racer]

Yup, that's the one. It has the wide angle lens. I've had it for like 3-4 months now, and I've only had a chance to use it on my roommates motorcycle so far.

I have a few ideas for mounting, so I'll probably take multiple videos from different spots. Any recommendations?

[snowborder714]

I'd say any video is better than no video, so anywhere you can throw it!

The one video that I've liked had a camera mounted near the rear view mirror, but that was a road race so it gave you a very nice overview of the track. But I think it'd be cool to try and mount it different places and see what kind of views you can get.

[99gst_racer]

It runs!



After a few times swapping plug wires, it fired right up. It's in dire need of a tune, and it's idling a bit high - ohh and that pesky belt squeel again... But it runs!

[RipperXX]

Sounds Nice!

But now I want MORE! ... little revvin some BOV salutes, drive by passes etc.

[brian9397gsx]

very nice i hope your putting your timing belt cover back on after all that work

[99gst_racer]

More videos to come when I start driving it.

I haven't used the upper t-belt cover in years. It'll be OK. The lower half is definitely on there though.

[brian9397gsx]

ok i wont lecture you, thats a very sweet set up im drooling. it looks very tight up by the radiator but there really isnt to much you could do about that. i like it cant wait to see more

[booostedGSX]

I've been following for a while. Very good work Paul, sounds good.

[mitsuclipsegsx]

Sick!!!

[2gAWDTalon]

Its about damn time.

[spoonman]

Two BOV's? I really want to see what IAT you are logging with that high boost pressure especially if you are just using the FMIC and no water/meth injection.

boner achieved

[rush2252]

I pity the fool who tries to mess with that beast

[calan]

I want a video with 4 boiling tires and two screaming turbos

[Bluefire16]

I cant wait to see this thing driving.....HURRY UP and get some videos! I mean come on, you got it running you cant tell me you arent driving it hahaha, i would call in sick for work one day and just drive it all day....

Holy crap.....i also just realized you live in Hartford!? I live in GR...i deff want to see this thing WONT YOU ALL BE ENVIOUS OF ME BEING ABLE TO SEE IT IN REAL LIFE! HAHA

[99gst_racer]

As it turns out, the idle sounded mean on the first startup due to a misfire. My buddy Dan (project_tsi) came over for a bit last night and we gave the car a once over and found one of the dip switches set incorrectly on the Dynatek box. The car purrs like a kitten now.

I just ordered an AEM 5-bar MAP sensor last night and I'm probably going to pick up a wideband from work today. I still need to bleed the clutch and brakes and a few other misc. things before she's driveable. So, I'll be driving it very soon.

I take the car to GR every now and then for a WMDSM meet. You should check out our local forum if you get some spare time. www.wmdsm.com - Home
