LT1 Boost Shop Car Build thread
Just an update... made a ton of progress installing the kit. A few things left before I fire it up:
1. Install gauge pod and run wires for it (Innovative WB, electric FP, and electric boost gauges).
2. Install fuel injectors and fuel sender (for the gauge) on the fuel rail
3. Reinstall valve covers with vaccum lines to connect to the catch can.
4. Reinstall all the coolant lines to the radiator.
5. Finishing running the lines for the alky kit.
Hopefully will fire it up next weekend. I still need somew misc. fittings for the sender on the fuel rail.

I hate doing all the wiring for the innovate wb, so many wires!
You should see my gauge pod:
3 LED's (6 wires), 2 push button switches (4 wires), and the three gauges. Two gauges have 4 wires, one has 5 wires.
A total of 23 wires that get condensed down to 7 or so. Its fugly... but I made it look clean... all soldered together... no connectors.

Buttoning everything up. Pics of oil feed line, fuel rails with sender for ditigal gauge, 60# injectors in, alky lines are complete with dual nozzles on the lebow, turbo kit is completely bolted up. I also installed the electric cutout and tested it... its nice 




Hey bud,
Where did you get the feed line? I was using a 10yr old line from my Vortech kit to feed the turbo. Right before the car went into storage it let go spraying down the engine bay pretty good
Corrosion protection for winter storage
I was going to use some ~1/8th brake line.
Build looks good Jon,

Thanks Scott. Its a 3An line I bought from Darin at www.racepartsolutions.com
Sorry dude, I haven't even fired it up yet. We have been getting snowed on atleast once a week for the past month, so the car won't even be driven to a dyno until its a clear days out. I haven't even fired her up yet. Just need to connect a couple wires under the dash and she's ready to go. I have been working on some kits, so its tough to get motivated to just start her up on jack stands and then shut it down lol. I'll post results as soon as I get them! thanks for the interest though!

I just mocked up the cold side (didn't tighten down all the clamps).
