project 7

Yesterday I started workin on my car. The t-56 needs to be gone through, and I'm upgrading/installing things as well as fixing problems.

The goodies




Cooling panel installed, Intake was leaking so I re-did the gaskets








Sub bolts


Nitrous bottle bolts (yes I suck at welding since I just learned how)


Mocked up sorta (didn't know where I wanted the sub, so now its upside down)

Mocked up






Did that stuff today. Trans was ripped out yesterday. CAI is mocked up and ready for install. I still need to run the nitrous line and hook up the control box. DTSS bushings need to be done, trans rebuilt, amp..other stuff..im tired its 2 am. I'll update more tomorrow.

I am curious what does the subwoofer do for hp improvement? I might need one, Does the 15" sub make more tq than the 10" sub?

When you are welding any kind of metal make sure you have a good ground and clan all the paint of any surfaces.

10" is for more HP adds like 50 when used with songs from the fast and the furious

Got the cai, nitrous, and dtss bushings installed. Cleaned up some hoses and wiring as well. I started on the amp and I'm going to mount it in the spare tire well. Tomorrow the trans will be rebuilt and the diff shimmed up.


Took a bit to get these out, ALOT of heat




The dtss eliminator bushing installed


Nitrous line ran along fuel/brake lines


The line for the bottle


Nitrous unit


Had to JB weld the nozzle in, did same thing on my camaro since the nozzle is stripped

Did alot of wiring today. Wired up the nitrous unit, switches, bottle heater, and wires to the amp. Took the diff out and my boss started on the trans, only to find out I need to buy another synchro and 2 gears...





Teeth were in the magnets.

Bottle warmer switch


Notched the extra accessory cover for easy opening


Nitrous arming switch. I put it here so it doesn't get accidentally armed. (not crooked anymore lol)


Tomorrow I'm going to bolt down the amp, sub, and bottle. Might open up the differential and figure out why its making noise.

No crazy hp numbers here, just goin for over 400 on spray on this little cammed lt1. I'll dyno it this year though.

Just wired the amp today and the system works fine. Wired up the bottle heater and mounted everything in the back. New 1-2 synchro and 2nd & 3rd gear are in the mail and should be here wednesday. I'll put in the new clutch, resurfaced flywheel, and then the headers again tomorrow.



Spare tire well


Flat black vht header paint

Looking good pat!

[black_7]

Flywheel and clutch on


Trans is rebuilt, thanks to my boss J. Wehner




Just did some random cleaning up, resprayed the strut bar, bolted down the headers. Wehner is going to do some reading on these differentials and might just set backlash. It looks great inside of the diff. Would have the thing done this weekend but I have army...
