how much? and what did you not like about it?

 

He's upgrading. These guys spool up way faster...

 

After one turbo fire and another near miss - he's going back to a PD Blower like God intended for a truck

 

The guy running around in the red turbo 370z said you better cause your gonna need more than that...

~~Lol jk just heard his BOV talking to me at a red-light made want some boost too.

 

Haha, there is someone else in town with a turbo? Kinda surprised, didnt think there were alot of guys around here that did anything but talk.

Got some work done today. I ordered some shiny new wheel spacers for the rear that are 1.5" instead of the 2.5" I was using before. Takes a full 2" off the track width and fully tucks the tires which I think looks a lot better. Still have roughly 1.5" from the leaf springs.


Also notice my rear pass. caliper was getting nasty and was leaking...


Looks like I stripped the bolt hole when I first installed it...damn...those threads are M10x1.0 for anyone looking. Everywhere I looked said M10x1.5 but that is not correct. I tried to retap it but there just wasnt enough material, so I replaced the caliper from a reman from orileys, painted that rusty bracket black and good to go. Problem solved.

Also got my new spacers for the fuel rail, so I reinstalled the rail and used about 6 gallons of loctite on the bolts. Should be good to go on that front. Also taped the intake for 1/4" npt for the 3bar map and 3/8npt for the pvc fitting on the top of the intake.

I bought a PCM from a 2002 avalanche to switch in to try and alleviate the knock issue. This PCM appears to have a lot more options in it than the 99 pcm, so tuning should be easier. I just hope the knock issue is solved and I didnt do any harm limping it home with the leaking rail. Good thing I have a beast fuel pump.

More progress come Friday

 

slow and steady...........

maybe eventually all these alabamy trucks will be running

 

Yea, December 22, 2012

 

Too bad the world ends before that.
As far as the Nissan it's the bright red 370z with carbon fiber ground effects.

 

What are you running for front brakes?? (assuming those are dual piston suv goodies on the rear)

 

Completely stock except for the russel braided lines. I did switch to hydroboost though. This truck stops very well. The drag radials on the front really help with that.
