Alex who did your cage or did you guys do it in house? I am starting to look for a cage for mine as well.
 
We did all the welding in house, but the cage was purchased from S and W race cars. We did have to make out own A-Pillar bars however, the way they had theres set up was all kinds of funky.
 
Cool, Thanks for the info. I am in the market for one but I have all winter to find one and get it installed. The car heads back to Camas soon to have the tranny and clutch pulled back out but first I have to get it driveable. (converted it to e85).
 
The A1000 is a gravity fed pump but you are able to run it higher then the sump. We have run a A1000 about 10 inches above the sump in the past with no fueling problem. But good lookin' out. :thumb:

As a matter of fact its just about there. Ive just been too lazy to get pics up. But I will tomorrow. It should be fireing tomorrow as well. We got the fresh built motor in with the new SBR head, bigger cams, cam gears, ect... Theres still alot of things left but if all goes well we'll be racing come Saturday. All of us at KAIZENSPEED have been leaving at about 10pm the last few days (we start at 8am). If it can be done by Saturday it will.
 
Wow,soo much hard work and cash invested,i hope it turns out ok for all of you.:talon:

What track will you be at?
 
Lucas is stopping by tonight and heading to SRP for tomorrow's races. Last word I got out of him was that he was not going to trailer the car so he will be on street tires. He is wondering if and how long they will let him run. On street tires he is around 11.2 but the car is not NHRA legal.

He should be OK. They are going to not inforce a lot of rules this weekend.
 
Well we got the car started yesterday, about 3 times. However it shuts down after about 25 seconds. Were not sure what it is but we do know its in the wireing, hopefully we'll be able to figgure it out soon. But it does run!!!!! When it started it fired right up and it sounded great to hear it run again. Its been almost a year. Hopefully Ill be getting some dyno vids here in the next week if we can figgure this out. And I know PICS!!!! I will get some up, not to worry.
 
Can we see detail pics of the motor and bay when you take pics?

Had this happen to a customers car once. It ended up being a bad coolant temp sensor and in the AEM map the fuel pump is configured to only work over a certian amount of coolant temp, so it would fire up, run for a few seconds then shut the fuel pump off and kill the car. It took me awhile to figure out wtf was going on.

Check and make sure your coolant temp sensor isn't reading like -90 degrees or something.

Thanks buddy, we'll be sure and check that out. I hope its just that simple. We got that VSS issue all squared away too, thanks again.


As for pics ill snap quite a few come next week.
 
I am not sure if this can happen with eclipse cam sensor, but on honda this same symptom is due to cam\crank sensor settings on the magnetic pickups. The signal in some cars is weak, so adjusting the "crank H sens below" "cam L sens above" "cam high sens below" and "cam low sens above" fix this same symptom. Some times this is due to sync errors.

Im planning on making the event. Hopefully we'll get everything said and done and the bugs worked out by then or most of them at least. I think Jake is hanging up the helmet for the rest of this season. I could be wrong.
