🔧 BUILD PJ’s bad idea - notch edition

[PJx5x]

We've got a couple of bearing pullers, but not sure about that small. What's the ID?

10mm

 

[LikeABauce302]

I bet it welds nicely. I've bought a couple Chinese elbows when I didn't feel like spending a fortune on Stainless Bros or Vibrant stuff. It all welded up really nicely after a good cleaning. I was surprised.

10mm

Oh yea no, not that small.

Use and return shhhh, probably made by the same company that mad your throttle body

Oh come on dude just Weld a machine screw head end to the bearing ID and put it in the end of your slide hammer and thread a nut onto the threads pull the f****** out and toss them in the garbage

Been swamped at work. Forgot about this car and thread

Good call. I ended up putting a solid rod thru the bore, tacking it to the inner race and giving it a whack. Took 30 seconds

Throttle body done. Pretty straight forward now that I’ve done it. Would contemplate modding these as a side hustle but would have to sell them at $200+ ish and I don’t think sloppy people like to spend that much lol

Billet Australia chyna fuel pump hat is here with triple 525s (1 backup)

Messing around with potential alternator and turbo mounts. Intercooler has spiraled and putting turbo to the side might be best option. I don’t want to use a scavenge pump so I’m a little worried about turbo being high enough. Luckily I have the motor pretty low

Aforementioned intercooler core thanks to Mike K2K. Treadstone big boi 6” thic. Need to make a mount to that lower bar so I can make cardboard end tanks

Laser cut coil mounts I designed to fit how I wanted and test fitting chyna injector spacers for the 210s. Will replace orings with ones I trust from McMunster

Did some ghetto bench top testing with the MaxxECU and got the Silverado PWM fans to work. They don’t fit the Champion radiator too well, so custom shroud mount is in the works

3D printed some custom tube clamp things with an adjustable strap to move and angle the steering column where I want it while I make a real mount





Good lord… Typing out all these half finished projects made me realize I really need to see a doctor about having ADD

After dicking around with making an alternator mount to work with the motor plate I finally took a gamble on an ICT setup (thanks Amazon free returns).

Ends up fitting perfect, and the back plate tucks between the motor plate and cylinder head. Has an oem style tensioner too. I could definitely copy this design with laser cut alum for cheaper but I don’t think it’s worth the hassle

Designed a throttle cable bracket for the Motion cable Boostie got me for my birthday. Used a tab and slot design out of 1/4” aluminum that I’ll weld together. 3d printed one works perfect and is strong enough, so I don’t see the aluminum having any problems lol.

Fit some 0.040” aluminum sheets for the floors. These still need to be bead rolled and drilled for rivets

But it allowed me to take some measurements and sketch up a fuel cell. Flat shelf on the bottom is for the in tank pumps to pull from

Almost 20 gallons… little crazy lol. I need it to be that deep for the pumps and that wide to mount between the rails. So I might just take more off the front nose

Last but not least, I got my headlights and taillights from Terminator-Fox installed

No bulkhead or baffle in the tank?

That's sixty or more pounds of shifting weight if you get squirrely half full

There will be some baffles around the pump area but I just drew up the outside to calculate the gallons lol

 

[BOTTLEFED]

P PJx5x For the love of god put some normal taillights on this car please

Please don't, so BOTTLEFED can be mad as that's what he'll be seeing as he's racing ya

Possibly might cause me to wreck my pile ?

May end like that episode of Pokemon did where there are children having seizures.

God no. Smiley and I gonna match with our LEDs

I know 100% for sure that Terminator-Fox does not have these on anything he owns lol

You don’t know him well enough then

Joe knows me well! As we have taste and don't like the disgusting Chyna lights on your car. Everything else is nice though.

3 way date at China house with P PJx5x ?

Sure but it'll never happen.

 

[PJx5x]

My laser cut junk came in so I assembled the throttle bracket and welded the back/bottom

Made the intercooler mounts- like trick chassis tabs. Printed the drawing to scale to transfer the bend lines. Then welded a receiver cup on for the threaded aluminum bushing. Makes it so you drop the intercooler into the cups and install bolts easily

Mocked the intercooler core up and tacked the aluminum bungs in place. Welding thick aluminum at 250 amps upside down sucks.

Will add an upper mount after the end tanks and tubing are done




Also thanks to Boostie for tricking me into buying an LC9 6 months too late

 

[strtcar]

you intercooler size is quite impressive
