Went out for a drive today since it was 84 deg. The car is still fun as hell. Got back home and my diff cooler was running. The darn fan has stopped working. Got to get one of those spal fans and replace it.

Should I go down to the Freedom Factory for Spectator drags on Jan 22???? I will be on low boost so it should be fine for a little bit of fun.

I have my diff cooler fan on order.

I want to go do the spectator drags but I know better. Ugg, I get to stay home again. No sense in going down there and really doing a number on the headgaskets. Maybe another time.

This is spot on. Watch the whole thing. It is an excellent observation.

It's not only Instagram with it's Instawhores, but it's Fakebook and Twatter, too. That's what all of them are designed to do, make you feel like you are a nobody because you don't have/do/be _________. We used to call that 'keeping up with the Joneses', when you tried to keep up with the neighbors when they got new stuff.

My fiancee's oldest boy lives in Platte City and has a neighbor that is like that. Everytime Paul gets something new (smoker, flat-top grill, trampoline, etc), the neighbor has to go out and get the exact same thing. It even goes so far as to extend to the inside of the neighbor's house, it's exactly the same as Paul's. :icon14:
WTF is wrong with people?

It is not only that it is the all the negative comments that you get. I have gotten my fair share of those over this build. That is why I have been quite. I am trying to figure out where I want to be. What makes me happy with the car. At the end of the day I don't care what other folks think. I am just doing me. I get hate for that.

Maybe others are a little more sensitive to critiques, but I think that's both a reason why social media has grown so much, and why society has become softer over the years. People became comfortable hiding behind a keyboard, all the while showing their true selves. Meanwhile these same folks going out in the public are so use to picking things apart and playing keyboard "hero", that in the real world they become so offended when they are challenged face to face. I love that, in my experience, these people claim to be "woke" and are changing with the times. When in my opinion, they are just a product of some app that has blinded them, because they can't take their eyes off their phone or computer. End rant.

What I am trying to figure out right now is what I am going to do with my turbos. I have the larger 1.06 AR exhaust housing in hand. SOHO has done testing with their single turbo kit so I kind of have an idea of what will happen. With a twin turbo setup the engine has to be dropped to change the turbos so it makes it quite expensive to do testing. If I go back to 11:1 compression on my engine I will not have to make as much boost to make power. My compressor side on my turbo's now start to run out at 25psi of boost at 10:1. That is where the IAT's start to climb. The turbine side is out at 28psi of boost. I only gained 8whp when we went to 29psi of boost. The turbine became a restriction. I may take a chance when I do the new engine and see what happens. Everybody in the VQ platform has always had tight AR's on the exhaust side. If you know of anyone who has done differently and have the dyno graph with boost reference. Please post it here. It will help me out a ton.

Looking at something else. Upgrading my compressor side and using the larger exhaust housing I bought.

Great video. Take a peek. Steve Morris only recommends MLS to 1500 crank hp which is 187.5 hp per cylinder on a V8. I am already right at 200hp per cylinder at the crank.

Another great video.

Might as well look at these also. Not sure how or if they will fit.

Went for a drive today. Driving my car in the cold is quite funny. As soon as the turbo's try to light off, straight to redline. LMAO!!!!!

It's always fun when you give it just a touch too much throttle. It is all you can do to keep it in your lane and let out at the same time. I always wonder what the other folks around are thinking.

Just ordered my CJ-motorsport twin fuel pump canister upgrade. I have been waiting on it for a while and it is finally ready to order. Yippie!!!!

Seb's got mine on order :tup:

Thanks guys, both headed out UPS tomorrow!

Allow me to spam the thread with a picture or 2 of how they look mounted on the twin hanger. I need to get an inventory of these titanium screw kits next.. if only because I used them for the pics, so I better offer them.

Got mine today. Phunk, do you have instructions?

I havent put anything together for it yet, hopefully I can make a cheat sheet next week.

Cool, I can wait. I am not driving that much. It is too cold.

Enjoy the intermission. This one is going to be a bit.
A little Steelheart.

I figured out my stumbling issue. Dang spark plugs. Nothing looks wrong with them. Car may be running a bit rich but not by much at all. Scratching my head of this issue.

Someone beat you to it. Thanks Gbrettin.

This just in, Nitish21 has a pygmy just like Big Enos, shewantsthezeee. I wonder if they dress the same too. LMAO!!!!
I guess we should start calling shewantsthezee, Little. LMAO!!!!!

I think Snoop Dog sums it up.

This is why I am laughing. Who in the hell would hire these two retards to do anything for them?

Money & no sense? :icon14:

All to become internet famous. LMAO!!!

Wondered where that came from on discord. I was going WTF.

Hell yeah, I'm internet famous now! *Queue Island Boy Song*


Kidding about the island boy song. Sh1t makes me want to ice pick my eyes and ears.

Twin pump surge canister is going in. I will finish it up tomorrow.

Done. Two words of wisdom. Make sure you have the twin pump oriented correctly when you drop it in the surge cansister. I had mine 180 out and didn't catch it. It was a mother to get back apart. Lesson number two, When you put your pumps ground wires on the stud, make sure you add a washer afterwards to ensure it get's good crip on the connector. Otherwise you will end up with a no start and no working pumps. I had to take mine back apart and do it again. Thank goodness I didn't put it all the way back together before I tested it. My stud and ground were on the front hole at first. I moved it back to the right rear like it was before I took it apart. The first one is the worst one as I always say.

I am guessing that MA did the original install to your twin pump and kept the fuel temp sensor? When not retaining the fuel temp sensor, youd just ground both the pumps through the standard 6-pin connector on the twin pump. But when keeping the temp sensor, one of the grounds has to move to the chassis of the hanger to free up a terminal position for the fuel temp sensor signal.

Yes, I have the fuel temp sensor.

Don't put it in backwards or that temp sensor will hang up on the surge canister. LOL

I added a washer and put the ground back to where it was before. Fixed it right up. I had to tighten down on the other two allen bolts to make sure the ground wire and washer did not fall off when I removed the stud. Worked like a champ.

As far as aligning the surge canister threaded legs. I use a small jewelers screwdriver and a flashlight to align the canister so I could thread the first allen bolt in place by hand. I had fuel in the tank which made the canister float around and be a little bit of a challenge.

Just got my popcorn out watching the show for a change.

Time for a little funky rhythm.
