that is right about where i wanted to be on e85 for now , just wanted more of a buffer with the injectors.
not really planning on driving it with the coolant tank on the turbo just wanted to get it started up
i think i stole the idea from 03sierra already about the tank, i will probably grab a catch can from you though after some injectors this week.
its up and running, flex fuel injectors are hilariously no where near enough to even try to drive and have some fun.
and needs way more transmission cooler, had the stock and trucool 40k before. worked well for the cam/stall before. with the intercooler and the intake elbow made using both kind of a pain in the *** - so i grabbed a remote mount derale rated 37k with fans, mounted it under the body and it can barely maintain temp, any little rip temp jumps up 10-15 degrees and just cant cool down even with a long cruise. hacked up the stock lines to get the shortest 90 into the radiator, will change over to an hose and throw them all back in the loop.
so far shifts have been good but its only on 6lb wastegate spring and out of injector by like 5k rpm in 3rd 50% throttle havent even tried wide open probably wouldnt make it through 2nd.
spool is loud and obnoxious even with the air filter on, i love it. starts singing about 2500 rpm, passes the 105kpa mark around 3500rpm. is perfect for my truck with 4.10s and triple disc stall, 50% throttle it stalls about 4k so it's in boost by the time the stall hits.
couldnt even tell you what the exhaust sounds like over the turbo, it's going all the way out back with 4" through 30" and 6" magnaflow mufflers.

where did you got throttle body assy and harness adapt
Swapped the coolant tank and has been good.
waiting on a couple of check valves to clean up pcv system, spits a little oil when in boost
swapped out the injectors for 1200cc FICs, scaled them in the tune and have been able to drive it, can't do much of any pulls yet though because fuel pressure starts dropping at the top of third - afr stays in the low 12s tho. ordered sump, magnafuel 750, filters, check valve, 4-port boost regulator. need to crawl under and see best way to lines up front didnt really want to run 15' of flex hose if i can avoid it
plumbed the tru-cool 40k back up front in the lower grill but is leaking/puddles a little fluid on the bottom of it, ordered another to swap it out
Still just has the 6lb spring in the wastegate and like 10-11* of timing max. but is a blast to drive - logs show it makes a little more boost
And getting the itch to clean up the wiring, may do a little flashier intake first though
got the magnafuel sump'd in and working, put in the 9lb waste gate spring (12-13lb on the logs) about as much as i wanted to run with straight only 93oct, felt great. still fighting with getting it to shift out of first WOT. put some e85 back in it, threw another 5* of timing at it (same boost) and tranny lasted about a week wasnt even really a full rip just a 4th gear pull, pretty sure it just cleaned the clutches nicely. has been making some noise from the bellhousing area for a while now - pump maybe? so not really much of a surprise.
went ahead and ordered a 4l80, circle d saying they can chop up my current triple disc and convert it to work on the 4l80, prob just do the pcm of nc harness/controller - may have some questions
