Fender dump it and have it shoot flames.

I'm debating on a dump tube for the wastegate. Right now it dumps in front of the engine and I figure get as much heat out as possible, no reason not to send it under the car, out the fender or out the hood.

Where's the easiest exit point?

[nocooler]

Easiest is to leave it alone. Car is finally on all 4 tires. Exhaust and tune are the last steps.

Planned on spending all day tuning. But after I filled the tank, the gas gauge went down. I pulled the pump, the float was just hung up apparently. I did re-route the fuel feed line, and that left me with a foot extra, so I spent some time coming up with some clever routing and it works for now. When I have more time, it'll be on the list.


I need to go back and redo the timing table, denmah's doesn't have enough timing to get this cam over the 1500-2000rpm hump.


Getting there. I didn't plan on being under the car all day....but it happens. I have a couple more things to tweak and then this whistle monster will be on its way.

Keep at it!

Still waiting.

Washed it yesterday. Cold weather is inbound. I ordered a cover for it. I'm going to order one of these too - http://www.rhinoshelters.com/vehicle-storage-protection/41-car-pocket.html as it will be stored at my Dad's recently purchased man-land property. He's got a nice 2 car garage, huge shop, and a odd sized garage/shed. I don't know how the critters are out there and don't want to take a chance.


Next year issues:
WBo2 is acting funny. I'm going to try and re-calibrate, and get some more tube after it to see if it helps. Probably needs replaced as it's 7 years old!
I'm still not 100% happy with the fuel line lay out, and I'm not sure I like the vacuum block location.

Jeremy...keep a fire extinguisher at the ready.

Yeah you can use various gasses to test them. I know propane works...


I had a pretty good neurology appointment on Monday. With any luck they hope to have my pain under better control in the near future.

Good to hear!

What a year so far: I've got another nerve block scheduled for tomorrow, Monday my dog Teddy goes in to have his knee repaired. Maybe I should have just left the damn car alone.

I bet the car gives you some good distraction which sounds like you could use.

Hey I have something in common with your dog!

[nocooler]

I hope that's all Mike!

Man that sucks!  Hope recovery is fast for both of you
