rytherwr Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Made some changes to the hotrod...I believe the intake was restricting air flow (when I replaced the 1050 carb with the FI, the system came with a standard Victor Jr) I had the World products intake modified with some bungs and put the system back together with a little coo-coo juice for those steep on-ramps. I set a goal to drive it to the track, break into the fives, (1/8th mile track) and drive it home. I'm doing this on a 10:1 motor running 93 octane pump gas. I drove the car today and sure feels like it breathes easier. If the weather holds, I will test it out this Sunday...wish me luck. Wayne PS...pls excuse my highly engineered, custom hood prop....gotta paint it red for SEZ 8...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z-ya Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Wayne, It looks like you have a nice clean installation there. What engine management are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rytherwr Posted February 1, 2007 Author Share Posted February 1, 2007 Thanks for the prop, z-ya...I appreciate...Hate to admit this in public, but it is an EECIV system same as a 88-93 Mustang. Running a modified corvette MAF that sits under the air cleaner with a signal conditioner box between it and the EEC so it can read the signal. Works very well...best time with the old manifold was 6.70 in the 1/8th on street drag radials. Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deja Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Damn Wayne, that thing is going to be a beast at SEZ8, can't wait to see it run. Is it even louder than it was last year? Love that big block sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rytherwr Posted February 1, 2007 Author Share Posted February 1, 2007 Hey, Deja...good to hear from you. Hope to do much better this year now that it's sorted out. Still pretty loud, nothing subtle about this thing...actually it's a small block vice a big block....although it sounds like one...see ya at SEZ8 Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 The fabricated valve covers look great as does the converted manifold. I have toyed with the idea of converting a Victor Jr over to FI, but to find someone who will do it for cheap isn't easy (or realistic?) at all. You just need some boost and you'll have it all: V8, FI, Turbo, massive cubes, power, looks, money, fame, booyeah! Um, anyhow, if you can get some vids together, I'd love to see it in action Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rytherwr Posted February 1, 2007 Author Share Posted February 1, 2007 DavyZ, you are a sick man!!! ) Don't have a video camera at the moment, but will try to see what I can do. In regards, to the Victor Jr, I just happen to have one already converted ), i.e., the one I just replaced. PM me and see if we can make a deal.... Boost, V8, small cubes....the MGM (Mean Green Machine) is in the process of being tuned as we speak...284 Toyota V8 w/ forged crank, 4 bolt mains, SBC forged rods, Ross custom forged pistions, supercharged, turbocharged, nitroused, and alcohol injected. I've had it up to 20 lbs of boost so far, but am still in the process of setting fuel and timing maps. Indications are she will be a beast in lamb's clothing. ) Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnjdragracing Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Looks good, Looking forward to seeing it in action again. Clean install and love the hood rod, yes you need to paint it.
