Progress Thread The Only Part Of A Chevy You Don't Have To Tow (until Now), Into An Sn95.

[tannerc91gt]

finished running a few grounds, wiring up the starter and some other small stuff and put 5 gallons of gas in the car. filled it with coolant and fired it up. Its open header right now which is causing the A/F to read 35:1. so the target AF learning mode had to be disabled below 1800rpm for me to get it to behave at all. Ive changed a few things and ended up running it up to about 4800 to datalog a small pull.

This is the first full dive ive taken into this sort of thing so im learning a lot as I go. Theres a lot to be changed but it ran suprisingly well.
Ive got to wire up the cooling fans, fix a coolant leak, move a few wires and set the starter to a momentary switch.
Im not far from actually driving it but theres a lot of little stuff to do.


video doesnt pull much passed a little blip, it was the second start up.

Awesomeness. Glad it fired up with very little issues. I cant wait to see a video of it on the road. I bet it is going to be a great ride.

I wanna know where I can get a radiator mount bracket like the one you're using. That b itch is HEAVY DUTY!

P.S. I hope when I get mine running,..the datalog is as easy to read, and understand as the one you posted,........80 sec's run time, you see the engine crank at start up, and Idle throughout the time frame until you wing it at the end where fuel, and RPM spikes, MAP drops........
Idiot proof.

Hey....I'll have you know that I've since converted it to zip ties haha

With the holley you can also set it to datalog at a given parameter on any sensor that the holley controls. So if you want it to datalog anytime the TPS goes over 80%, thats what it will do. It is pretty slick.

We've got an MS PnP kit on the turbo car my buddy put together. It hasn't been bad to use it just isn't as "user friendly" in my opinion

Stop changing the title damnit. Where are we at here with this project? Any street runs yet?

 

[RangerJoe]

Sounds great!

I've been on vacation all weekend
Doing some tune adjustments this evening and rewiring something's and hopefully I'll have a driveshaft for it this week

 

[TOOLOW91]

Wow that b cam sounds great

Thread title change brought me here. BTW nice build for a LS swap.

I laughed enough to get my wife interested when I saw the title

the exhaust has been hung. Streetability has been increased 100% and it should gain a lot less law enforcement attention. Its by no means quiet though, which is fine by me

If its hanging a little low in the pic, the rear hangers had yet to be hung.

The exhaust made my wideband(s) happy and i was able to tune in the idle and sub 2k rpm range.
Also, the other day on first start up I actually never set my FP, stupid move but I set it at 58psi today and everything kind of fell into place. I pulled a lot out of the afterstart enrichment table and it stopped burning my retinas. Still running very fat but that'll get dialed out as well once Im mobile.

I measured for my driveshaft (48.25") compared to the stock SN95 auto driveshaft of 45.5" (dont quote me there)
so ill call tommorow and have them get started on building the driveshaft.

Hopefully Ill get my fans wired up tommorow, im going to build a mounting plate for the fuel pump and wire up the momentary switch for my starter. maybe get started on these gauges

Buncha little crap to do but im actually back to enjoying it

 

[RacEoHolic330]

Congrats in getting it up and running. That must be exciting!

 

[old_blue]

Did you make or run a custom x pipe?

 

[tannerc91gt]

It's all just built from 3" exhaust tubing. A 3.5" v band reduced to a 3" x into 2 flow master thrush mufflers.
Got an interesting sound to it

 

[old_blue]

Video or it didnt happen.

 

[tannerc91gt]

Video or it didnt happen.

I'll try and get one today. Alternator still needs wired up and I'm melting a plug wire so I'm trying to be conservative with run time.

Ordered my DS today. Hopefully I'll have it this week.
