LS1 swapped into an EVO! by Scream

3 minute(s) of a 45 minute read

nothing much happening right now, we're kinda busy with the stang and other things .

but on a positive note, the tank vent is finished and guage pods showed up today so we can finally mount the mess he calls his guage cluster on the roll cage and dash.
all thats left to fire this thing up right now is a TPS and IAC .
should start working on the direct port soon !

well , got the edelbrock throttle body in today, and i thought it was a great deal ( about $300) since you get the tps and IAC included with the tb, only problem is the damn thing has a 4.2" inlet which makes it impossible to moutn a 4" hose to it and the throttle arm rubbed from the bottom on the water pump (slight grinding fixed that issue real fast).

also got the guages mounted on the roll cage , which now causes who ever drives the car to be completly unaware of what ever is in front and to the left of the car ( i'll post pics so you can see what i mean). most likely the guages will be relocated ( 3 of them) to a guage pod on the center of the dash , and the rest will go either on the halo bar ( where the rear view mirror used to be ) or to the location currently occupied by the streo head uint.

we finally started the car and checked for leaks, fan operation and what not. found that the oil pressure guage is reading a bit high ( 75 psi) , not sure if its a guage problem or an oil pump issue .

we should be starting the transbrake testing sessions real soon 

next on the list :
-fabricate in intake tube and filter
-plug both breather vents on the vavle covers
-tune the car for N/A
-start plumbing the direct port
-start wiring all the n20 related gizmos and doodads
