Grrtrude - Ready to go

esteinmaier · Post by **esteinmaier** » Mon Nov 07, 2011 6:08 am

I'll grab a pic of the wiring panel tonight if I think of it. Fuses, relays, and MS are mounted there.

Yup, MS tach out.

Yea, I didn't think about that before I started putting everything together. Next time I have it all apart I'll probably spray it.

what's coming out of the case of your MS?

ZeroChad · Post by **ZeroChad** » Tue Nov 08, 2011 1:12 am

Probably wires for sequential.

Ugh....stop giving me ideas Erik. Now I want to relocate my PDC...

Well, I tore almost every wire out of the car to simplify the wiring and make it easier to diagnose if something goes wrong. It's taking out lots of weight and letting me tailor the wiring to the application instead of dealing with sections of wire that have been extended and covered, etc.

Yes, that's the injector drivers through the lid of the MS. The machine screws that are coming out of it attach the LM1949s (I think that's the spec) to the case for heat sinking with low-impedance injectors. Since I'm using the Injector Dynamics 2200cc injectors and they are high impedance, those probably won't even get warm to the touch though.

I'll probably have a few more hours I can spend on it this weekend, and hopefully I get enough done that I can drain the 2 year old fuel from the tank and get some fresh stuff in there. If that happens, then I'll try to take some videos of the startup and see if I can make idle stable with the 80mm TB.

Apparently I left it with 9.(x) gallons of e85 in it, cuz it took forever to pull it out.

But here's the latest:
All engine wiring is done. I still haven't plugged in the tach, launch control, or lights, but those aren't important just to start it.

The only thing left is 2 vacuum lines and someone to stand in front of it to make sure nothing is leaking or catching fire when I start it. Past that, I'll let it sit for a few months while I dabble in the lights and other circuits as well as looming up the wire and such. I still don't have a seat belt harness in it, tags, or insurance so I can't drive it around.

psh erick i dont think your neighbors would be mad if you putts it up and down the street to see how it runs, besides the one lady that heard my turbo spool and was yelling slow down, when i was going 15mph.

Congrats on getting grrtrude back to running state.

I...I have to go clean myself now. Thanks...

esteinmaier · Post by **esteinmaier** » Sat Dec 10, 2011 9:14 am

Thanks guys. In the video, you can also see the timing belt cover I threw together last night. It's made from a piece of 2" leg aluminum angle, 4 rivets, and about an hour on the bench. It came out pretty awesome IMO.

Just...Wow! Going to send the youtube link to a friend who is building a MS Zx2. He will be converting to MS 3 this spring.

Whoa. Need more video and pics of the engine bay, with better lightning. Sounds awesome.

Specs again?

dtjackten · Post by **dtjackten** » Sat Dec 10, 2011 4:49 pm

omg omg, i saw this on facebook. but the link makes me very happy... sounds sick as hell erick! all the hard work will be worth it come spring time

esteinmaier · Post by **esteinmaier** » Sat Dec 10, 2011 5:15 pm

NGC 2.0 forged stuff, of course. 9.2:1 compression. crane 18s, DOHC.

Equal lengthish custom turbo manifold, BEP s362 turbo, BEP 45mm wg, 3" exhaust, 2.5" hot side piping, 3.5" cold side piping, 80mm TB, huge intake manifold, 4" core IC.

surge tank fuel system with walbro 255 in tank, Weldon 2005a (I think it is) main pump. 2200cc ID injectors.

MS2 with all the toys on it.

Interior gone. Because Racecar. Some carbon fiber and some stuff cut out that isn't necessary.

BC coils, lots of other tricks in the suspension.

Beefed up drivetrain, but it still needs a naughtier clutch.

Will run at around 40psi, will make around 700whp, and will hopefully run 9 seconds.

Hudson_Neon · Post by **Hudson_Neon** » Sat Dec 10, 2011 6:13 pm

do you need a chute if you're running in the 9's?

esteinmaier · Post by **esteinmaier** » Sat Dec 10, 2011 6:54 pm

I think it's just 150mph. But if it goes that fast, then I'll cross that bridge when I get there. I expect to be a couple mph under it.
