TC Install pics and wrap up
 
The car finally got finished up today, Monday. Everything went pretty well. There was a lot of down time due to the lack of tools and supplies. The meet was at Fnan's parents, so all tools had to be supplied by members. Most of us lived at least 30mins away.

I don't see the point in that clusterfuck of vacuum line? Anyways, good job. Any video?

Inline resistors suck.

It takes just as long to solder up an OEM resistor box to a spare OEM plug, since you don't have to ---- around in tight underhood enclosure. Looks cleaner, less likely to fail due to strain/vibration, and the OEM resistors are 6.7-6.8 ohm not 10 so you get more motive force @ the injector.

But, I'm ---- like that.

Run 7-9 degrees high cam timing at 10 psi, and lock it there up until you hit knock limit on pump gas.

I am a proponent of the resistor box myself. I didn't set this thing up though. To each their own.

The Y8 has a huge injector wire cover so it will be unseen when he cleans it up.

It's kinda funny. I'll mount an IC with zipties, but messy wiring makes me want to fistfight. I'm a nutjob.

Me too. Wiring was kinda a mess, but it worked out.

Hey man, I only had a few T's and short lengths of hose to use, so I had to use my imagination.

Hehe, no worries - me and Cray cleaned it up.

I'm going to spend this week cleaning up little things about the install, like grinding/painting the piping, installing the Walbro 255lph pump, etc. etc...

But it runs pretty well! No oil/coolant leaks, good oil pressure, no CELs, and it pulls pretty well for being at 5 psi, untuned and running a restrictive 2.25" exhaust (temporary). I'm going to throw on the 3" KTeller exhaust and get it tuned here soon!
