I can't imagine what the car looks like without an engine. I am happy though that things are on the upside now. A lot of eyes are on this project Joe..., we could be pioneers on here if everything goes right. I got some bigger injectors in case the 60's can't hold up. I don't remember what the idc's were with the tvs on before, but that should give some sort of indication of whether or not they'll be needed.

 

Re: IDCs.... Just pulled up a log... hit 90% @ 7,000 RPM, 11.5 AFR and 21.5# boost.

However there is something about the way GM computes IDC on the LSJ that is questionable. First, contrary to many comments, an IDC in excess of 100% is impossible. Once it hits 100% the injectors are static (locked open). Past that, they are incapable of any more fuel delivery and AFR will go lean. Yet other logs I've seen showing in excess of 120% don't show enleanment.

I calculate you need 472# injectors to support all the power you'll have. You'll need someone sitting on the engine with a bucket of gas just pouring it in!

 

So how much of a change would there be if the head is taking in more air with less restriction? I would assume more to allow the engine to make more power. That would mean that I need to have bigger injectors or a return style system. I really don't want the 60's to go static and starve the engine of fuel.

 

Like I said... "You'll need someone sitting on the engine with a bucket of gas just pouring it in! ".... Good job for Justin!!

Look for email soon, bud.

 

Well, it's not like he weighs that much anyway. It's probably be pretty funny to watch. It's starting to seem like a return style is actually the way to go.

 

Check your email, Danew...

We'll get it right!!

 

How long ago did you send it? I haven't received anything yet. How's the old HHR/SC treating you?

 

Well I ordered both the clutch and the Slave Cylinder/TOB. I was really hoping to have them and put them in this week up coming weekend but i have to to work. So I'll be looking at doing this the following weekend... anyone down to help out with the install and kinda teach me what's goin on?

 

If I was home...

 

I wanna get it done next week, because in march I go to new orleans... but my squadron isn't sure of the dates

 

good luck with that. I know how things can change at the last minute.

 

hey steve, you need to post more pictures of your striped car!

 

stripped??? you mean Striped?? as in my rally Stripes?? i havent had a good opportunity cause ive been in ohio and its been snowing off and on here... i washed my car here today but a lil salt came back on the sides soo not a good time to take pics

 

Sent 2 emails... One about 5 (you already answered) and another about 8 EST.

The HHR isn't old (just hit 3)... Just me.


Having just done it and learning a few shortcuts, if I can find the time, I might be able to at least come by and be a "cheerleader"...

Yeh...

1. You wouldn't have a running car and would have to walk to...

2. Get laid.

 

what do you mean?
