My "Street Car" Build!.

[sbengineering]

If anyone cares to see, I can start posting pictures and procedures of my build. Perhaps helping some of you guys out, and also showing you different techniques not usually seen on DSM's. Here's some pictures to start it off.

Your going to have to post how you actually did the wiring, I might want to do that too. So basically your car has none of the emissions at all?

 

[white_dsm]

Beautiful..

Plain and simple...

 

[dsmer1G]

Super clean, it is a real motivator for me.

I don't really like bolt on roll cages. Welded to the frame FTW. But, nice motor! keekeetz.

SW is weld in not bolt on cages

 

[GSX4BangR]

Yeah im in the process of getting a weld-on roll cage. Some say bolt-ons are better but thats just peoples opinions. Either way i'd take either of them.

You realise you don't need one till you go over 135mph or 10.99 for a full cage and 11.5 and I think like 12xmph for a roll bar(cage minue the halo and windshield bars.

I dont paln on running 10's so i think an 8-pt will be good. I just wanna run 11's for now and maybe in the future i'll hit 10's. But I need to strip my car like sbengineering did, das da best way to work on a car.

Car looks clean as hell, except one thing. Those welds look boogerlicious . Roll cages are there to save your life, please don't rely on welds like that, they look rather scary. That side bar to main hoop weld would not pass inspection from any competent tech. Other than that, dead sexy

Yeah to the OP did you weld this yourself? I am local like I said I can come check out yoru welds and let you know if they will pass at ATCO cause I know that's where your gonna end up going when it's done. I have a hook up with a guy that welds around here I can get him to hook you up too if you want. I work for South Jersey Auto Supply I was actualy at our blackwood location today and i'll be back there monday. One more thing it doesn't look like you used plates at the bottom of the main loop bars or the support bars def not a good idea

This was my first cage install. So i hopefully can only get better. Those booogers were on the third pass though. You think that will still be a problem?


BTW, i will get pictures up of the wiring this weekend. I had to do some traveling for work, so i haven't been around much.

The plates are there, i formed them to the crossmember (not the floorpan), so they are a bit hard to see.

Main fuse block and fuse box is in the glove box along with two breakers for adding on things.

All engine control wires enter through the firewall near the shifter cables. This keeps pretty much all stock wiring that is needed, and still allows me to have almost zero wires in the engine compartment.

I'm a lil late in joining the conversation but i love the fuse box relocation, anymore pics of the wiring set up. I'm getting ready to go thriugh the majority of mine and clean it up so to speak and i was thinking of hidding my box it the glove box area, was it a pain in the butt to do?

 

[lgoss5127]

that is one bad a$$ motor

Main fuse block and fuse box is in the glove box along with two breakers added for 12V power and 12V ignition power.
I had both the main front harness out of the car. i got rid of anything i didnt need, (i.e. emissons). I then lengthed the front body wiring and ran them from the glovebox, through the existing passenger grommet in the inner wheel to the front of the car. I then cut a hole in the middle lower area of the firewall and ran all of the engine wiring through there. This keeps all of my engine wires right behind and below the intake to keep things hidden the best they could.
