I picked my car up a few weeks ago from my old fabricator. And since then I've been doing a little bit of work:

I put a cross-bar in and mounted the nitrous bottle and moved the water/meth bottle as the tank for the water-air aftercooler will go where it was:


I got the auto-trans shifter mounted and connected to the trans and I made a flex-plate shield for the trans:


Here are some pics of the not quite completed turbo manifold (which my new fabricator will be completing soon):



Here's some pics of the not quite completed intake manifold and the 1/2 completed aftercooler:



I mounted and wired in some new gauges:
On the A-Pillar I have a Pyrometer (which I had before) and an Oil Pressure Gauge.
On the Steering Column I have an AEM UEGO Wideband and the 30psi electronic Boost Gauge, with a shift light tucked in between them.
And where the boost gauge used to be is an Autotrans temp gauge.



And as required on anything faster than 135 and quicker than 10.000, I added a power cut-off switch:




Car should be being dropped off at UMS tuning sometime this coming week to get the turbo manifold and intercooler system finished up.

 

WOW!![sm=hail.gif]

Hi Mike... I mentioned this in the Auto Tranny discussion too... but what is wrong with you? You might be one of the coolest people I have never met... but I'd like to!!!! hehehe... There's a quote from the movie SuperTroopers... it goes something like "You're a sick *****-f*@ker Mac"...

I think the shoe fits! Awesome dude! awesome!

 

Damn! I cannot wait to see the new timeslips with all that added to it.

 

......speechless.......

 

hey is that air/fuel ratio gaugue from wideband? if so how much did you pay

 

just curious....can i drive it when its ready? that is a beautiful car, but i dont think you want anything to do with my stock 04 srt. im tellin you shes a beast!!! seriously though, i would like to know how much $ you dropped when this is all said and done. im talking about just on the fabrication, cause i was tryin to find someone around B'ham that would try some stuff on my car and noone has the ***** to try.

 

The A/F gauge is an AEM UEGO Wideband unit. I bought it used for ~$150, IIRC. New they're about $280

 

Ah yes, well there's a problem with the fabrication. That being the original fabricator just wasn't working on the car. The car sat in his garage for almost 9 months for a "1 1/2 to 2 month" project. So I fired him. Now I have a new fabricator which will finish the work, but I don't know how much it'll run me.

But lets just say that between the tubular manifold, intake manifold, down pipe, and water-air aftercooler system, I was paying the original fabricator about $3k. Of which I got an $800 refund, and will probably spend close to $2k getting his work finished.

 

if i had that kind of $ it would for sure be worth it, but im struggling to buy bolt ons. however as i posted in the other thread, i ran into a little bit of money, and was curious if i could get some stuff fabricated. now i see that i didnt run into nowhere near enough though. where are you from?
