That's sweet... show us some soon !!

 

I worked my *** off yesterday all day and had to go back today and take some pics of things and make the update today...

First off I got the cobalt boost and electric fuel pressure gauges in and working.



Got the exaust done all the way to where the mufler will be located. The mufler will be a 40 series flowmaster and a dump, just have to get a coupler.


finished up some other misc. wiring issues, and hooked up the battery. After having no problems I cycled the key, and checked fuel lines, and found a leak at the #1 injector where it goes into the fuel rail. When I got it all apart, I found that the o-ring had been damaged upon installing the injector into the rail at some point. Looked like it was installed dry. I replaced all the o-rings on the driver side rail, and reinstalled everything. I cycled the key again, and found no leaks. After locating some ignition 12 volt sources and getting the last wires ran, I set the fuel pressure on the regulator, and cranked it. Got everything coming on but the starter...lol I found that the wire from the old harness was not getting power that goes to the run terminal on the solonoid for some reason. Knowing that it is probably due to me removing things that were going to the old engine that is preventing it from completing the circiut I ran another wire, and for only a temporary test solution installed a push button start switch. I am not kidding when i hit that the motor didn't even crank a full turn and she fired immediately! only ran for a few seconds due to the VATS still being enabled, but the thing ran HAHA. Music to my ears!!! I still have to mount the accelerator pedal, and mount the TAC module, and get the muffler on as well as the snout support, but for a test fire I am happy and all the small things will be nothing but a few hours. Other than that it will be ready for a tune, and some test runs. Here is where I am at now:

 

looks awesome man.. bet u were so excited to hear it come to life.. you comin down to SAR this saturday??

 

Not this time...I have plans for the weekend already that I have been waiting 6 months for. Next time maybe, Thanks though.

Sweet! happy to hear you got it to fire up!

 

awesome. glad it turns on
cant wait to start mine. i may end up with a ton of questions for you lol

 

you should certainly be proud bud! Awesome build!

 

Thank you very much...I have worked very hard on this, and have more plans for the future...I will do a little here and a little there from here on out over time. I have no plans of unloading this truck for a very long time. I know that it is not the best out there, but it is definetly the best that I could do under these time constraints that I have, and the recources available to me at this time. Besides, I do not think I have done too bad for this to be my first supercharged vehicle ever. I am very proud of it, and know that it will only get better from here.

 

I am ALWAYS willing to help here whenever I possibly can...that is what this online community is for if you ask me, and it has always worked out very well for me.
