Two Fangs Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 Sweet...in your esteemed estimation, to what degree could a metal intake have on IAT's? I believe I just read somewhere on here that heak soak is a myth. Interested in your thoughts. It really depends, but saying that an intake manifold that conducts heat as well as aluminum has no bearing on heating the air going through it is like saying a space heater won't work because the air passes by the heating coil too fast.

Ted Y Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Boost controller? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two Fangs Posted March 20, 2012 Author Share Posted March 20, 2012 One of them controls the fuel pump speed, so that it does not burn itself up by trying to cavitate during low fuel demands. The other is a nifty little device engineered by the late, great Lingenfelter that, in conjunction with a signal splitter, takes the front wheel speed and translates it into a gear position signal for the boost controller. The boost controller, which I will show off in the next few days, changes the amount of boost the turbos produce depending on the gear the car is in and engine RPM.

FNBADAZ06 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Hell yes !!!!!! Quick question.......I've read several post on Cf regarding the MSD coils and their high failure rate. Any truth ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two Fangs Posted March 20, 2012 Author Share Posted March 20, 2012 We are going to find out. Apparently, the issues they had with epoxy breakdown were identified and repaired a few years ago. I wanted the highest output coil I could afford, and these were the ones. If they don't work, LS7 coils nare easy enough to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked them strictly from a cosmetic point of view.....I like the red coil packs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two Fangs Posted March 21, 2012 Author Share Posted March 21, 2012 The red does look racy, you gotta admit, LOL. The whole thing is getting close, most things that are left are due in this week, Jet Hot, mainly. Then a couple of busy weekends, and then finally, completion. I had been preparing a multi-part dissertation regarding the build, but then decided to not do it. Instead, I think I am going to discuss how you develop a build based on parts that make up the whole. Everything from selecting a bore and stroke combination up through the heads, cam and exhaust. Be looking for that when I again have some free time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grayeagle Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 on heat soak: On initial build Duster ran a 6-pac w/fenderwell headers under a 6-pac scooped 'glas hood. If it was a warm day and I ran to the store, comin back out a few minutes later to fire it up was problematic. Underhood heat would vaporize the fuel in the log and lines very well. Fuel vapor displaced too much oxygen ..she would not fire until she got enough oxygen, and even then it took awhile to get all eight cylinders in harmony. I had to solve that problem before takin her to the races so I did a bit of research. A cork lined cool can fulla ice solved it. Kept the fuel temps low enough that it did not vaporize in the lines enough to cause a problem. Taken before the cool can ..first day she fired up Later, when I switched up to a tunnel ram with the carbs up in the airstream, there was no need for the cool can.

Two Fangs Posted April 7, 2012 Author Share Posted April 7, 2012 I have some stuff to do, will be putting the fenders and hood back on it, and probably doing a little fine tuning. I also have to align and tighten the exhaust tips. Come on by if you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
