IL y a plein de possibilitees.
Poulie , Long tubes , custom tune etc.
C'est presque illimitees les possibilitees et options. :dunno:
 
Week end plan has changed so today ( Sunday ) I'll be working on the car.

New Oil valley plate has been installed.

Stock OEM left and Edelbrock right side .

The hardest part so far is to gain access to the crank bolt.




ry%3D680




I have to remove the steering rack.




ry%3D680






ry%3D680






ry%3D680





It's out.
A lot of work to get there.





ry%3D680







I've loosen all 4 nuts that hold the cross member and pried the front left side to give some room to move the rack out.




ry%3D680





Plenty of room now.




ry%3D680

Next step is to drill the crank to install a lock pin to prevent the pulley to slip on the crank.
 
I just finished the install tonight ( 10.00 pm ) .
I'm updating the thread right now.:p

I knew about the E-Force tune and no we didn't buy the 599 Kit.
We'll give it a try like that , going to the Dyno Wednesday of Thursday.
 
Sounds great. That redline performance looks like they know what they are doing. I didnt even know about them until I just started reading this forum. I can tell you right away you almost must get a tune. The canned tune is not great and meant for a completely stock car. If I can help with anything just let me know. I have gathered a lot of knowledge about these eforces now. That tends to happen when you do mods. lol
 
Crank bolt was a biatch to remove.... :yikes:




ry%3D680




Drilling the crank .



ry%3D680





Hole ready to receive the lock pin.



ry%3D680



Pin is in.

ry%3D680






Steering rack back in with all related parts.



ry%3D680



ry%3D680





Cooler in place.




ry%3D680





Water pump in.



ry%3D680






Horn has been relocated.




ry%3D680



Coolant reservoir.



ry%3D680





Bottom view of the Eaton.

Since I'm by myself I had to use my engine hoist to lift the S/Charger to dropped it in place.

....Now guess what....I'm missing the intake tube. It was not in the kit.....I'm very disappointed....





ry%3D680










I've called Edelbrock on the 800 line and the message was : We have too many calls , please try again later so I call the regular line ( at my expense ) and 21 minutes later someone talked to me.

Looks like they will "Overnight" the tube Tuesday so I should have it Wednesday. :(


Unable to wait to start the car 2 days I decided to axe saw the factory air intake tube to be able to do a start up test with the MAF connected.




ry%3D680



Car runs and idle perfectly , I let the car idle until the fan starts.
No leaks anywhere so when the tube comes in I'll finalized the install.


Full view with the kit installed minus the air filter view.

Tomorrow I'll install the exhaust line and if I'm lucky enough to find a intake tube I can borrow I'll go to the dyno. *tu*
 
If I can help with anything just let me know.



Can I borrow your E-Force intake tube for 1/2 day tomorrow so I can get the car dynoed to make sure everything is fine ?


I really want to deliver the car Thursday and I want to make sure the owner can drive away free of glitches , trouble etc.
 
Awsome job !! That tube missing just sucks. Not the first time things were missing from the kit. A little tip. Try the horn. If it sounds like crap reinstall it using the original bracket. Everyone I know who uses the new bracket has an issue with the sound.
Let us know what numbers you get on the dyno !!!!
 
I can tell you right away you almost must get a tune. The canned tune is not great and meant for a completely stock car.


I'll let the owner give it a try like it is and as soon as he needs more RWHP , will get a ( maybe a new pulley ) and a custom tune.

I would say yes but only if you can have it back to me by around mid day. I have to take my car for something in the afternoon. Also you have to check if its the same tube. Mine is an LS2. I think its the same but not 100% sure.

If you go with a smaller pulley I would change the fuel pump. A tune would be best route and a huge help for the tranny also.

Thanks but it's too tight for me.

I'm in Terrebonne so time to drive to DDO pick the part , come back , go to the Dyno come back to Terrebonne and back to DDO it will be impossible to do.:(

Where is the dyno? If you havent got your part I am more free wednesday. Be happy to help you out. If the car drives ok with the old part you could change it here on the way to the dyno.
 
If I drive the car like that it will have "no" air filter , I've destroyed the OEM air box to do the start up.:dunno:
 
So today was exhaust time.
I got the car ready to be able to move under it with as much room as I was able to get.



I have ramps , floor jack and jack stands , so tripple protection just in case.:p

Old exhaust removed with the sway bar to give me some room.




ry%3D680





The Corvette is like a race car , the under carriage is nice and smooth.



ry%3D680





New exhaust's tips.




ry%3D680





A lot lighter then the stock one.

Got everything lined up , start up the car let it warm up , snapped the throttle a few times to hear how it sounds and I like it and the owner should like it too.
It's not too loud so this should be perfect.



I got the tracking number from Edelbrock so tomorrow I should received the Air Intake Tube that has been overnighted to me .
If I don't get it too late I may be able to get my final dyno run and deliver the car to the owner on Thursday and get my RX7 back.
I miss her but it was very interesting working on the Corvette C6 :bigup:
