Let me know what I owe you. I hope to be able to help out later on this weekend.

Thanks again guys!!!!

shit.... nate people make more progress on your car when you are out of town...

Haha that's awesome!

Didn't get a chance to take the adapter pipe off this weekend cuz I cruised down to Galveston for the weekend with my family..

I'll have it off today and I should be able to drop it off at the newest shop (Matts garage) sometime this week with the other stuff needed..

Its almost there bro..

Thanks man. I might be heading up there tomorrow after work to mess with the fuel setup

Video says it all...


Here's Matt (aka tard boy ) working on mouting the begi..


Nate installed his cold side pipe..


And the Motor..


and me chllin in the back of a 41 Ford Galaxy..



She's running folks.. Just a lil bit more to do and nate neon will be driving down the road again..

Awesomeness. You guys wanna come up my way and help me out!! LOL

sounds like the timing belt is a little tight causing the whine....
Great work though

Thanks Matt and Isa'kee for helping out on getting the car started and put back together. Thanks for posting the pics and vid.

BBR thanks for the heads up, we'll look at it and adjust it.

Awesome! It LIVES!

yes, and it only took 2 years.. LOL....


*runs and hides*

yea think the code u were pullin bout the camshaft sensor might be that prob.

looks good, a lot of wires

the camshaft sensor issue, O2 sensor that i forgot to plug in, and what every else.. LOL

Smiley, yea there are a ton of wires.. haha..

we wanted to get the car turned over. next will be to clean up the engine bay once we get it moving on its own wheels. I'll get it back to my garage and start extending the wires to hide them.

nice job nate!!!! glad to see it is alive again!!!

That's great man, keep the updates coming!

Thanks guys... I"m going to pick up the supplies tonight if I get back from Dallas visit in time.

Congratulations on getting running again.

THanks

Well Matt and I were able to seal up the vac and boost lines to give it a test drive down the road..

The Mopar battery is dead... so I'll have to get another battery this week. I still need to pick a couple of small things to finalize the build until it arrives back at my house to finish up the headlights, and mount the bumpers etc....




We weren't getting any boost, due to my mistake on not clipping the wastegate to the manifold..

We also looked at modifying the Short ram intake to fir better..



A close fit, but much better...



Farther pic away, and this is what we cut off to make it fit.



And this is were Isa'kee was at the whole night... He was a bit tired....



So we locked him in...

Looking at heading back out there on Thursday after work, and going to see if Isa'kee can be out there to assit me on the pod mounts and maybe adjust my headlight....

Nice update!

Poor Isa'kee always sleeping in a car. lol. BTW, whose car is that anyway?

nice to see it driving down the road again nate... i bet it felt good... u need to get to work hiding all them wires!!! lol, that will take u longer that installing the turbo did... LOL

nice work...

Yea he's a tired guy...

the car is my friend Matt's. I think its a 1967 Ford galaxy... not sure though.

Sweet man glad to see you took it for a ride. Now your kind of in the same boat as me.

Please upload to Youtube. Fucking photobucket fucking sucks and takes YEARS to upload these videos. Why do black engine bay's always look the busiest??? Nice work though, I'm finally glad you pretty much finished it. Well, kinda... At least I didn't have to come kill you

yea... well I'll look into the you tube thing.... I don't even have an account.. lol so maybe one day...

Well the engine bay is a mess.. we just got it running. I haven't even started with the cleaning process and maybe wire tuck...

Wow man awesome progress!! You guys definitely got alot of work done. I am overjoyed to see that aem in there with the battery even though you plan on relocating it sometime
Even with no boost the car still sounds pretty sick and best of all it runs

Well Matt and I got a little bit done on the car last night. I found the damn cotter pine for the wastegate so I'm not free spinning the turbo.... We took it for a test drive and was able to get 3 psi... We didn't want to push it completly last night. I need to make a couple of adjustments to the ride height before I damage my fenders or tires. So I have to raise the passenger side up a .5 in ( est) get bolts for the top motor mount, a couple more grommets for the vac lines can be ran properly. and then buy a new battery... I think I"m just going to go with a stock one this year. Might look into a Braille battery next year.

Texas Showdown is comming up in June, so I'm going to try to get to that one, (since its 10 mins from my house). I'm going to see me Mack Daddy Dan is going to be there with if blue beauty. Maybe I can be worthy enough to park near him...

I forgot my camera last night like a jack ass, so I might head out there tonight if I can or on saturday for a bit to get the engine finished.

I"m going to start looking for adjustable wastegate i think... or a manual boost controller for hte time being. I will have pics later on this week.

Glad you got it all bolted up Nate. How are you controlling fuel? RRFPR? Sorry if I missed that info in a past post, I did not go thru 100% of the posts.

Right now with the stock computer. I"m not wasting my time with MS ( at least not right now) and BEGI RRFPR. Its holding at 3 PSI with the stock WGA and we are going to work on tweeking the WGA or I will look into a used adjustable WGA and maybe a manual boost controller to get it at 5-7. That is all i'm work for.
