🔧 BUILD CMNT does another Holden thing... Again

[IceCreamAssassin]

Call Bob at Next Gen and see what he suggests and what he'd charge to do it and the tune?

 

[CMNTMXR57]

I've already been talking to Jeff. Next Gen was one of his tuning suggestions too.

 

[CMNTMXR57]

Eh I wouldn't sweat that now that I looked. Ls3 right? Should have 42 pounders in it already. The trucks with 24s or 26s or whatever suck. They're at 77% at 32 on the maf

So I just went and looked them up, yea, OEM ones are 42lb/hr at 58 psi.

So I just went and looked them up, yea, OEM ones are 42lb/hr at 58 psi.

You should be good to 525ish at 80% there, somebody correct me if I'm wrong tho that happens sometimes lol

 

[CMNTMXR57]

Yea, I won't be reaching that number any time soon.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

i had no injector issues with my mods even on e85

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

You probably still get a hookup on factory parts don’t you? It’s so cheap and I think worth it.

Only through the dealership I worked at.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Part number is there, go head to the dealer and probably so cheap, because it’s already cheap.

 

[CMNTMXR57]

Here is what was left of my main seal... For those that don't know, it starts life as one piece.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Yikes, did you go get that converter yet? What cam are you going with?

 

[CMNTMXR57]

I haven't done anything. I was gonna hold off on doing this until I did the cam, but it was coating my entire front undercarriage with oil, including the catalytic converter on the passenger side.

I am holding off on all that other stuff as I have taxes coming up on the house and a few other things first.

Jesus fuck

swirls next to the license plate.

Swirl marks and scratches in the plate recess...

These people are fucking bonkers.

Many recall I tore the rubber components of my carrier bearing a month or so ago. Well it was torn well before that I am sure, it just got to a point where I noticed it then. So the carrier basically became a glorified driveshaft loop. Thunking and clunking around under hard acceleration or in gear when cold, or even going over bumps you could here it clunking underneath. So I ordered this two piece design from JXB Performance. Since it was nice today, I figured I would get this done.

I was able to do this without dropping the exhaust.

Remnant of the OEM carrier after i cut it out...

New JXB in...

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Dang that looks nice

 

[CMNTMXR57]

It is, but because I didn't drop the exhaust, it was a bitch to install. The holes for the screws to secure the two halves together are right above the exhaust. So I reversed their instructions and bolted the bottom half to the car to give me space to get the Allan wrench in, then tightened them down, which took forever.

 

[Gav'sPurpleZ]

Looks fancy.

 

[IDAFC21]

ooohhh I like that

[Bob Kazamakis]

I feel like a gto would just benefit from a 1 piece driveshaft being swb

 

[CMNTMXR57]

Yea, several of us have converted. But those aren't overly cheap TBH.

 

[IDAFC21]

Thats one of the few things I still need to do. 1 piece DS, and ideally I would love to toss a 3.90/3.91 gear in the diff. why settle on 9mpg when you can get 6!

 

[CMNTMXR57]

When you convert, stay with the OEM companion flange setup. I went full U-joint and I can hear/feel it making noise when there is slack in the driveline, when going slow like around my court.
