BAD TUB got the CHP stamp of approval last night......got it's assigned VIN # and I gots my appointment with the BAR (Smog weenies). They want a base line even though it's exempt from smog checks and control.
Took it out on the road last night with an anal probe up the dump tube off of the turbo. Dialed in (as much as possible) the best a/f mix while driving under load.....the wide band 02 meter worked well and I've dialed in 5lbs of boost after putting 500 miles on the new motor......another 500 and I'll try for 8 lbs....anymore and I'll consider an intercooler. Got so excited I waxed my tub last night in the garage under lights....now it's a shiny ten foot paint job...

Everyone here is a DIY mechanic. That's because it is cost effective. If I were to sit down and setup the tooling to make these engines, I could maybe sell one-two a year. And I have 0-little interest in having my own chopped 6.
And I would sell them for $19,000. I'm not here to screw with the guy who already does it. I do have access to the equipment. A lot of people don't. But you could buy a lot of nice used machinery for 20,000$. Anyway, I've already been approached by people on this board with similar projects. I always quote extremely low in the name of science. Fair enough? |
