2020 can’t be escaped even holing up in your garage... James turning over a new leaf before his mid-life crisis. One mans junk is another mans... well scrap. Another pile of about 5 m90s not pictured ready to be hauled away. Haven’t even gone through the 3800 head section yet...View attachment 66787
You guys scrapped all that??

suspension and allsuch is together, gotta fart with the swaybar a little more and tighten up a few things.

trans cooler lines and the DP to exhaust v band would finish the bottomside. got alot up top together.

hopefully it'll be running before another year passes

Took a few measurements but I'm waiting for Cody to return my 4t80e case for me to be able to figure out the last things I have to change on the hot side.

so apparently a couple years ago when i put a good used sensor into the 98 park ave (230k miles now) it was probably off of the TR.

waiting fo0r new narrow band denso/ngk

got more of it put together, i gotta buy a new tiny funnel for filling the ATF.

4t80e looks like a good excuse to just run the DP/WG dumps up through the hood so that the flames can have flames shoot from em

well no leaks. the fast ratio gxp rack is pretty well bled out. trans is full of cat TDTO 30wt n dex3..

ICM/plug stuff, flush the fuel lines, o2 and fire it up sometime before the end of the year?
What kind of ICM solution are you going to go with? I just got done reading through the whole double stack thread. I love the idea, but I don't know if I'm crafty enough to pull it off and make it look nice.

thats not my board. its a fairly cheap system thats typically used for magnavox turbo buick stuff but he sells this one thats for use with our 2nd gen DIS ICM

he just doesnt have a nice fancy box to go with it so i designed and waterjet machined my own case and coil mounts,

Cody and El Tortuga have been the main guinea pig so far but he's been making it work beautifully...plus he has those sweet fucking modded valvecovers with coil mounts, and the best coils
