Holy cow! It has been ages since I have done an update but as many know, I've moved into a bigger place with a garage and large driveway, got married, bought some other toys (one of which I will be making a separate blog) and just been livin' life.
Alas the Raven must fly.
This was the last known picture after my engine harness relocation (tuck nearly complete)
A little while back I got the last of the little parts I needed to finish things up (some I already had):
Pictured above: Twin Bosch 044 fuel pumps, -10an proclassic fuel lines, modified AEM fuel rail *polished* with -10an in and -8 out welded on with the 3/16 npt on top for nitrous fuel feed, 1600cc injectors, L19 head studs.
There are still a few pieces needed for the fuel setup to be complete since I changed my original plans-
I have a sumped OEM tank:
Since I have dual ports, the original idea was to run 2 -8an lines into 2 separate filters and then into the 2 pumps which would then be Y'd into a -10 to the fuel real filter and then the rail. Well after running some numbers and talking with some people, this was seen as tremendous overkill. So now, there will be a single -10an line into a filter directly connected to a Y block which will be hard mounted (with -8an fittings) into the 2 pumps which will then be Y'd back into a -10 for the rail. This saves the need for an addition filter and allows me to easier run the pumps so that if 1 shuts off, both shut off to keep from killing the engine.
Even with AEMs at an all time low I have settled on running Jackal in attempts to get the word out better on the system and truly test its capabilities. If it can run a 1000awhp car into the 8s with an auto and nitrous, then it is capable of anything.
So that brings us to now.
I finished buttoning up my block and its ready to go once again this season:
Check out how purdy that Buschur crank is:
The absolute lightest rotating assembly possible other than running Mahle pistons.
I gotta go write the blog for my other project but I'll be sure to keep this one updated regularly as I get it closer to D-Day.
