New Project - Skunkwerks EM9D
I was out of town this weekend (Never ever mix beer and tequila, ask me how I know) but I am off this week and I will be doing my best to get'r done.
I powder coated the new A/C bracket today and bolted it on, it has NO flex and works great.
I bled the power steering by jacking up the car and turning the wheels lock to lock with the engine off. I did this quite a few times and then with the engine running - after sitting for a few hours, voila power steering! It works like stock and NO noise or squeal, that was always a worry because of the wrap of the belt, but so far so good.
I test drove the car today It just has the down pipe for now and I don't have the bypass valves hooked either - it sounds likes a Cummins with a 5" exhaust The S/C sounds freakin awesome.
I need to adjust the ALDA to get rid of some smoke, this pump lays down some fuel! I also need to adjust the trans vacuum control valve as well.
When driving it starts out smooth and as the boost builds the RPMS climb and the power is right there with plenty more to go, it is almost like driving my brothers Dodge with a Cummins and a chip, smooth and plenty of torque. As I make adjustments it will get better!
I reallly need to change the coupling on the S/C, it sounds like shit!
Stay tuned...
