BUILD The seemingly never ending GTO project.

Small update to this, finally heard back from the blower place, they are having issues getting some of the parts but they are going to send me what they have so I can start planning out where things are going to go.

Now that it's getting close I'm going to figure out a fuel pump upgrade..... I'm sure the stocker isn't going to keep up

Some of the parts started arriving this week.

I was going to ask if you ordered from Boost District, but after seeing the actual blower, I seen you did.
I ordered mine in early June and was told 4-5 weeks, I got the same thing as you. Partial parts and then everything else when you got the rest of yours lol.

Gotta be something to do with the new fuel rail unless you've changed other things in the fuel system. I'd check that there's not something funky going on with the regulator or that the rail isn't plumbed backwards

Change any wiring? Getting power to the pump while in crank position?

 

[Ryebread]

It's a returnless system so the rail can only go on one way, and it does get power. I can hear it run when I turn the key and it also will leak fuel if I have the line disconnected.

Well now that the weather is getting better and I actually have daylight I got back on this. Fuel issue *may* be solved but I won't know for sure until this weekend. There is a spacer that goes on the outlet of the stock pump that positions the o ring that I missed.

It should look like this:

I got all that back together but now there's a line under the tank (GTO guys will know what one I'm talking about) that if you don't remember to take off before you move the fuel tank, it gets damaged and I wasn't as careful as I could have been and I forgot about it. Working on making a new one since the original one is unobtainium. Then once that's done I can check to see if we have fuel pressure.

Unobtanium... The story of our existence.

Got a fuel line figured out and got it installed. Car has fuel pressure and starts now. Fuel gauge stopped working but that's far down on the list. Now all I have to do is wire up the intercooler pump, clearance the hood and get the bumper to fit over the heat exchanger. Then get it tuned.

 

[Ryebread]

Getting close. Just need to find a tuner. But I messed up the hood. Got the bracing trimmed and the hood closes but there's a bunch of little dents from where I was prying up the adhesive. Don't know what I was thinking but gonna probably need a hood eventually.

 

[Ryebread]

Took the car to the tuner today. should have it back and ready to go in a few days!

I got the dyno numbers. It will be ready to pick up tomorrow. Then it needs a massive detail.

Oh that is fucking fantastic

 

[Ryebread]

Well it took longer than I expected at the tuner because he wanted everything perfect but it's finally done and I got the car back. So far it's a ripper and I'm going to need to get some better tires on it soon.

Engine bay is basically done too. Just need to make a bracket for the catch can and maybe wrap the hoses for the heat exchanger.
