Id street car the out of this . Ive been known to be extreme though . Hell if the funds allowed i would've already tubed mine and put a crank drive on it for the blower and use it just the way i do now .
Finished wiring up the starter, popped some fuses in on the Leash board and tested it out. Everything seems to be functioning as it should.
Couldn’t stand the cockeyed regulator on the rail so I ordered the correct fitting to straighten it up. Luckily that means my makeshift straight cut fitting was short lived.
Replaced the damaged return line as well and was able route it the way I wished I had done the first time so there was a silver lining to my $100 whoopsie.
Working on a new start up tune tonight since I’ve changed a lot on the car, including the switch to ethanol. If the fitting shows up tomorrow, I will get to fire up the car for the first time (again).
If not, it will definitely happen on Thursday.
Getting to hear the engine run has always proven to be the best motivation for me.
My Amish gas station worked great also. Little heavy on the manual labor for my liking but the harbor freight pump even threaded into my barrel. Pay no attention to the entire foxbody interior stacked up on my couch and half the front end laying on the floor.
This is why I like you Jeff!Id street car the out of this . Ive been known to be extreme though . Hell if the funds allowed i would've already tubed mine and put a crank drive on it for the blower and use it just the way i do now .
We were actually talking about c02 boost controllers on a street car yesterday at work and how long it would last before having to be filled .This is why I like you Jeff!
Surprisingly only about a dozen. Really gotta read the packaging on those thingsThat's a lot of high fructose corn syrup, how many Twinkies did you have to wring out to fill that barrel?
I’ve been told the 2.5lb bottles actually last a long while. No idea what that will look like though.We were actually talking about c02 boost controllers on a street car yesterday at work and how long it would last before having to be filled .
I am loving this build buddy I can't wait to see it complete
It took 2 pumps to fill a 20oz cup.How much fluid does that hand pump move at one time? How many pumps to fill a gallon?
Looking good. The wiring in and of itself is quite the feat.
Joe
Thanks man.Battery operated kerosene pump-like $15 bucks
How ever you classify your car-It’s amazing,and I’m envious of it lol.
You’re an Indiana boy right? Think you will ever take it out to Ohio Valley drag strip?
No sir, Never dealt with meth injection or methanol as fuel.I have another question then.....
Have you ever had a meth fueled combo before?
Isn't that what you're using now though? When you say " ethanol" are you talking E-85?No sir, Never dealt with meth injection or methanol as fuel.
Pump e85 is what I’m using. $1.50/gallon is my budget for race fuel. It’s out of a barrel because the pump is 45 min away.Isn't that what you're using now though? When you say " ethanol" are you talking E-85?
That’s one way to do it lol
The other burner won't be needed for a while longer but it's there.
All I need now is the garage.
