Lookin' good. Excited to see what kind of numbers it will put to the ground.

[RealQuick]

Yeah Sean, it is. BTW, shoot me a pm when you get a chance. Interested in the OFI situation.

Sinister, thanks. I am interested to see how much power it will put out thru the stock manni's and with stock heads.

Ignore the ashtray with the cigars on the fender ;) I just mocked up the cold side (didn't tighten down all the clamps).

Hey, I was going to have all my pipes done in black too! Great minds think alike eh?

[The SRZ]

RealQuick,

Where did you get this fan setup from? These are pushers right? Part number, cost? Did you build the brackets to mount to the radiator or did it come w/ the kit? Factory rad too isn't?
http://lt1boost.net/yahoo_site_admin/assets/images/DSC00788.325191516.JPG
Thanks!

Set up looks good by the way too. :D

[RealQuick]

:metal: Black owns all IMO... especially since i have a black car.

SRZ - They are Flex-a-lite (FLX-240) Pusher fans from summit racing for $220. They come with the brackets. The brackets had to be cut down because they are too long and stick out past the radiator (height wise). Stock radiator too.

[96SilverRam]

That looks great ! Thanks for all the pics on your setup, most people post one or two pics, but you posted a photo album :cool:

[RealQuick]

No problem! I love looking at other people's build threads too, so I figured I might as well show alot of pics!:metal:

[RealQuick]

Just an update... made a ton of progress installing the kit. A few things left before I fire it up:

1. Install gauge pod and run wires for it (Innovative WB, electric FP, and electric boost gauges).

2. Install fuel injectors and fuel sender (for the gauge) on the fuel rail

3. Reinstall valve covers with vaccum lines to connect to the catch can.

4. Reinstall all the coolant lines to the radiator.

5. Finishing running the lines for the alky kit.

Hopefully I will fire it up next weekend. I still need some misc. fittings for the sender on the fuel rail.

Wanna do a custom set-up fo me using stock manifolds? Like the idea but dont like where you run the piping. Want them both to come straight foward and still merge into 1 in front of the EWP. Looking good thou!! Like the black!

Buttoning everything up. Pics of oil feed line, fuel rails with sender for ditigal gauge, 60# injectors in, alky lines are complete with dual nozzles on the lebow, turbo kit is completely bolted up. I also installed the electric cutout and tested it... its nice :D i learned alot from this kit and the next one will be alot nicer and easier to install.

Yeah, exit 4 is the way to go. I am at the shop every Saturday and Sunday. I have LT1-edit with only one license. I wasn't planning on playing with people's tunes... and the unlimited license is big money.

[RealQuick]

Fired her up tonight. Sounds good!

Rule #1, always make sure you close the bleedscrew on the coolant linehttp://www.camaroz28.com/forums/images/smilies/redface.gifhttp://www.camaroz28.com/forums/images/smilies/mad.gifI spent like 30 minutes cleaning the coolant all over the engine bayhttp://www.camaroz28.com/forums/images/smilies/lol.gif

[RumbleZ]

Congrats on getting it buttoned up! When can we see some video to hear it too?

Any more pics now that everything is in there?

Sucks about the coolant, Been there! Just be thankful it wasn't the high pressure line on the power steering pump you left loose, it's amazing how much you can cover the engine bay with power steering fluid in about a second when that happens.. :jest:

[RealQuick]

Thanks! i will do a video and some new pics this weekend! Yeah, I am glad it wasnt a PS line!

[1SLOLT1]

Looks sweet. Maybe one day I'll save up the money to go the turbo route.

[RealQuick]

Thanks. This one will come off in the spring/summer and be sold at a discount... then a PT88 is going on.
