V1 Murcielago311's City/standard build - 06 SS/SC - Chassis #177 *REGISTERED*

[Murcielago311]

Hardmotion.com. Look for promo code popups on the site. It took a month to get, which was fine.

The easiest way I could see to mount it was to use the brackets that came on the wing, bolt up the rear holes of the brackets to the DF uprights, pivot the wing to desired level and mark the uprights for drilling new front holes.

+1 for hardmotion and the seibon wing. Seriously took 20+ business days to arrive and I never got an order update but it was very well packaged and beautiful. They were also the cheapest with coupons considered.

Can someone with a SC goblin air intake tube post a picture of where the pcv line barb should be located in relation to the MAF port? I have the barb but the tube isn't tapped for it. Thanks

Wouldn't the PCV hook to the blower just after the throttle body?

 

[Murcielago311]

I have that going to to the brake booster.

Sorry, maybe I should have said case breather, not PCV. The line that comes from the back of the valve cover.

I thought the port on the back of the valve cover was the PCV. Am I incorrect? I wish it was easier to find a diagram for this thing!

Is this the line you're talking about? Post 69 on my build thread has picture showing the MAF and barb:

I think I've got all the vacuum/coolant/supercharger lines hooked up correctly. Quite a bit of forum searching has happened while hooking everything up. For example I didn't remember that the supercharger fill neck has an overflow tube that simply vents to atmosphere. It looked like it went...

Essentially I have the MAF towards the fuel tank and the barb fitting just towards the front/outside of the MAF, but at the same distance from the air filter. That was the provided location on mine. Is that what you're asking?

 

[Murcielago311]

Yep, perfect, even shows the hose extended and routed. Thanks!

 

[Murcielago311]

I have a roller. Things move quickly after that engine goes in. Still waiting on my valve cover, header, and calipers from coating. Hoping for that first start by this weekend.

Hell yeah!

Have you called Troop C yet and seen how far out inspection appointments are yet?

It was 5 weeks when I scheduled my inspection. I was a week or two out from being ready for the inspection and then had to sit and wait.

The black and silver looks great!!!!!!!

I haven't. Thanks for looking out! Good tip.

Thanks! Really want to get my green parts in the mix!

What parts are you doing in green? My frame is going to be about the same exact color as yours I believe but I'm doing red parts as accents.

 

[Murcielago311]

Just the valve cover and the brake calipers.

Leaving the body black?

 

[Murcielago311]

I'll get it wrapped eventually at my uncle's sign shop, but I haven't thought that far ahead yet. Probably just black, maybe a green stripe if they can match the powder coated green.

 

[Murcielago311]

Got enough pieces hooked up today that I finally felt comfortable hooking up the negative battery cable. First attempt, could hear the throttle body reacting to the gas pedal, good. HE fan and pump were running, good. Cobalt and aftermarket gauges lit up, minus the warning lights I cut traces for, super. BUT no fuel pump prime. Tightened the fuse box bolts (real tight) and she primed!

Here's a video, hope my wife didn't jinx me at the end...

Goblin electrical test.

Was hoping to try a start this weekend but still need that valve cover back.

Your son is the cutest, and he knows where things are at in the car, amazing. Problem is he will grow up fast and before you know it he will be asking for the keys!

 

[Murcielago311]

Thanks! But he's already asking for the keys. Until today he could 'drive the car' and turn the key. Had to watch he didn't try to crank it with no valve cover!
