Still slowly picking up parts for this one.
Picked up a JW Ultra bell for the C4.
Also picked up a set of 60lb injectors from Evolved.
Getting closer. Still haven't decided which route I am going to go.

Selling the black car gave me a little motivation to get this one back up and running.
Installed the Ultra bell and put the old PTC converter back in. I'll try it out with the new motor and see how it does. If its still too tight, Ill get it back out and to them to loosen up.
New motor is in, headers and turbo are on. Just need to get it bolted up and wired.
git er dun! cool
Nice to see you are going to get this one back out. I'm betting the converter loosens a decent bit going to a "built" engine at 12lbs vs the stocker at 6. Can't wait to see it at the track.
Ill have another one out too but it will be a minute. Still searching for one... Things are everywhere until you go to buy one.
I finally got the Contour fan mounted to a new aluminum radiator. Need to get it wired up and installed.
What is everyone doing to wire up fans? Any controller out there that is better than another or just relays?

I used this dual 70 amp relay board from Leash https://leashelectronics.com/product...mp-relay-board for my Contour fans and controlling when the fans kick on with my Dominator.

If you want PWM control I've heard pretty good things from people about this one.

We just installed the derale one, it works really well
My car has a dakota digital fan controller i believe it comes with dual 70 amp relays for the high and low speed control. It seems to work pretty good so far.
Got the intake and throttle body on. Installed a Stifflers transmission crossmember also. Made a little progress before the oldest boy came over and he wanted to get his running again.

Finally bled the brakes and put a hood back on the 86. Still have a lot left to do to it. Its been down for 5 years Id say. Putting the 86 quarter glass back in too. Fired up and ran like a dream.

Finally pulled the exhaust of. The turbo sure didn't like the chambered mufflers on the dyno. So Ill have a complete Mac exhaust for sale if anyone is in need....

So I bought the old black car back. I missed that damn thing and bugged him enough to get him to sell it back to me. So.... I am pulling the Prostars off of it since I picked up a new set of wheels for it and putting them on the red car. Also started the 5 lug conversion. Just using the Mk7 rotors on the front for now. Ordered a set of Moser 28 spline axles, 3 inch studs, and a Moser girdle.

Got the Tial 44 wastegate today. Installed the green and red spring for around 7 lbs to start. Ready to get this one fired back up.
Still waiting on my Moser axles to get the rear end buttoned up.
