Ethyl Returns as a Ford

Really good day today. The guys got the Turbos bolted in solid and started the fuel system assembly. Just a matter of time now. Barring no more delays we should get a crank up video soon. Here were the major things accomplished:

Fuel System Plumbing











Girls are all bolted up and bolted on, look kind of perky don't they?





Love how she winks at me



Downpipes bolted up with exhaust







Seriously thinking about leaving the headlights out.

We are down to the wire now. Finishing the final bits and installing the fuel pump controller plus the hood, should start it tomorrow if the shipping gods shine on us.

Well the is the 11th first start since I bought the car in 2004. As opposed to the lat build which was my first big build, this one was handled very well buy the shop. Looking forward to the tuning results.

We discovered one of the two turbos was not working at all. The stall was built for the instant on PD Blower and was too loose. Be back in a couple of weeks with new FTi stall built for this and both turbos working. I am hoping for mid 5's. Sounds like a rail or funny car doesn't it?

[SuperBuickGuy]

it does sound really good. what stall are you going with?

Greg is working out the finals on that right now. We are going to tighten it up quite a bit though. I'll put the details on it soon as we get the final word back

[SuperBuickGuy]

every time someone tells me you can't use an IRS under 11s; I'll send them this video

Looking for alternatives to the Precision turbos, anyone have suggestions?
