Remember to do that maintenance on the injectors every so many months with that corn. Been a lot of info lately about it destroying injectors.

I have seen a lot on that lately. I for sure will. I'm probably going to run pump gas quite often still.

Nice build man interested to see how it does

Thanks man, me too. It pulls good with just a remote tune on 91. Excited for some e85 and a better tune. I'm going for 600 hp. Hopefully I at least come close.

You need to check into the new fuel sensor for ecmlink that reads the mixture of the tank and adjusts the tune automatically.

I've read a little about it already just trying to watch my spending for a bit. I've been a lil excessive the last year or so soon Ill get it though. Maybe real soon if I get rid of my 20g.

Cleaned and painted a bunch of the engine bay. New rack and pinion, clutch, pp, clutch fork, pivot ball, cruise delete throttle cable, vacuum line, ethanol sensor and pig tail from ecm link, fluids, 2 new tires and a cv shaft. Plan to have it back up and running next week and take it to get tuned on e85.
Also got my fly wheel resurfaced with .608 step height and done a fuse box relocation. Will have more pics in a few days.

A before and after. Done some cleaning and cleaning up of clutter. Looks a lot better to me. What does everyone think? Any more suggestions? Gonna start turning some more this coming week. Hopefully get some e85 started.

Are you using E85?

Are you using E85?

I filled up with e85 for the first time but it was only like e70 or so.

[URL=http://s273.photobucket.com/user/brandonleehulsey/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20150219_180756.jpg.html][/URL] Some more parts are coming in. Megan 3" exhaust here. An aluminum coolant reservoir and 3 1/2" short route ets fmic on the way next week. Next I need to order some e98 to blend with the garbage e70 around here. More pictures will be coming soon.

[URL=http://s273.photobucket.com/user/brandonleehulsey/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20150221_172036.jpg.html][/URL] Got my coolant reservoir in today and the 3" Megan cat back installed. Gonna have to move my Calan catch can and coolant reservoir for my ets short route. Thinking I'll relocate the battery to the trunk and put them in its place. I'll figure more out next week when it comes in and I get some days off.

love the new short route. Looks sooo much better. Ets messed up and didn't ship my brackets so hopefully they will get those to me soon.
Now my next dilemma. Idk where to mount my catch can and new coolant reservoir. Any suggestions guys? I was thinking about mounting the coolant reservoir here. What do yall think? Might be able to fit the catch can under the piping but idk. Maybe relocate the battery to the trunk and mount there?

Maybe get a slim fan and mount it right in front of the engine? Then I could mount to the radiator. Anyone know if the slim fan will melt or even fit?

 

[97_4g63t]

Got the new fan in today and it fits perfectly without any trimming as a pusher. Ended up going with a 12" Mr. Gasket.

Will hopefully get the fan and everything else installed and put back together within the next few days. Work has been rough lately with the low oil prices. Gonna be switching companies this week so hopefully I'll have more time to work on the car.
Also going to take this disgusting exhaust manifold off and try the copper gasket spray paint trick. hopefully it works good. If not it'll be off to get ceramic coated.

Got a new fuel filter in the other day. Fuelab 6an 848 with check valve and 40 micron filter. Melted a coupler on the new intercooler piping. Wastegate dump was pointing too close to it. New couplers, t bolt clamps and some flex hose for the wg dump will be here next week.
Also getting me a Barrel of e98 next week also. The e85 around here is crap. Like e68 e70.

I love that exhaust manifold color. What did you use on it?

I love that exhaust manifold color. What did you use on it?

I painted it with copper gasket spray. It's really really sticky and smokes for a bit on first start up but looks good so far. Idk how long it'll last. I've read up about it and it seems to last quite a while.
