Been following this thread from day one, nice clean install on that airbox. Outstanding work all around, I bet you are beginning to see some light at the end of the tunnel.

Re: project pacific wonder
 

Great build, keep it up. Are you concerned with rocks or other road debris with the cooler mounted there?

Re: project pacific wonder

Re: project pacific wonder

Re: project pacific wonder
 

Man, awesome work! I can't believe I've been missing your build. :lol:

Re: project pacific wonder
 

well the day has come......it's alive!

keep in mind how quiet this is considering there is nothing beyond the exhaust manifold. we will now be at the exhaust shop on monday.


well crap...does anyone know how to post a video...reply if you want to hear this beast fire up!

Re: project pacific wonder
 

If you upload to youtube you just copy the url at the top and paste it here in your post. Easy peasy!

before exhaust

Re: project pacific wonder

sorry for the side shot!

Re: project pacific wonder
 

we found a problem with the torque converter we ordered from Georand transmission. They didnt send the one we spec'd the new one runs much better and i will have a new video with that one shortly

Re: project pacific wonder

Re: project pacific wonder
 

sorry, i thought you might want that.....they are 16x7

Re: project pacific wonder
 

some more delays...the new torque converter is in and running good, was awaiting delivery of a pseed sensor for the tach and trying to find a good place to mount is difficult. we are going to remove the crankshaft pulley and replace it with a new harmonic balancer as found on the 6 cyl's....this will make it easier to adapt and it might smooth out the motor a little bit more.


anyways here are some exhaust pictures from Canby Muffler
the s curve from the turbo to the end of the firewall is double flanged for easy removal in the future for maintinence or repair

Re: project pacific wonder
 

more exhaust and a new under sash gauge panel for the boost and pyro as well as some switches, fog, Overdrive, etc

and a few pics after its first bath in about 2 years
