Nice Sam. I want more videos of your runs though. Invest in a GoPro! :D
|
Carbon Signal treats my G! Still under construction.

Wow, that is amazing looking. I hope they decide to make one for sale :tup: (to be honest I probably wont ever have the $$$ to turbo, but I could totally watch my temps and such on it lol)
|
Wow so much fun! Very nicely done.
|
It did come out very well. Their fabricator is very skilled I have to give it to them. This is not even the finished product as he still needs to smoothen it a little, followed by some Al Cantara goodness.
|
If I had an extra LS1 or a RB motor laying around I would love to go this route. I bet all the customization has cost you a pretty penny.
|
The smile on ones face as the boxes come in just never gets old!

What number of gear is it?
|
Awesome build thread. I'm glad I found this!
|
since its been bumped, do you have any updates sam?
|
Thanks guys! @Dzel, these are 4.08s. Haven't gotten the time to install them yet. The short shifter was installed and man, what a difference did it make. Driving on a 10-15 year old shifter with a worn out bushing was no fun.
Bigger stuff coming soon but it's just getting too damn hot over here. |
Time for some updates!
I finally fitted the 4.083 gears and wow! Car feels so much lighter! Quicker off the line, car can roll at 4mph without stalling! :D I am done with performance mods for the summer. Took a pic of the exhaust while it was out. Needs a little polishing eh? http://i451.photobucket.com/albums/q...ps994dca22.jpg Time to tidy up the interior a little now, here's what just arrived: http://i451.photobucket.com/albums/q...ps6f4b5514.jpg |
Awesome Sam! Yea, your exhaust can use a bit of polish.
|
Weather was a little decent so I decided to record a quick one with the current setup almost maxed out. Enjoy!
|
damn that's sick
|
Gorgeous sound Sam. A+ work on that thing.
|
Dat sound.

Wow, that engine sounds amazing.
|
Thanks guys, can't wait to get a decent turbo in it and some cams!
|
Quick update, been doing some interior work, here's a before pic of what it looks like today:
http://i451.photobucket.com/albums/q...psc8ad6267.jpg And an after pic! :D http://i451.photobucket.com/albums/q...ps8edc3bab.jpg Man did it feel so good to have it all cleaned up inside! I also hooked up the fuel and oil pressure sensors finally, the car was cutting a while back and had it narrowed down to either the ECU cutting fuel or Fuel Starvation. Fuel starvation confirmed! Surge tank here I come! Good to have all 8 readings working meanwhile http://i451.photobucket.com/albums/q...ps6b6c803e.jpg |
Much better :tup:
|
|
Jesus Sam, your pouring soooo much cash and time into this thing... I'm so fu**ing jealous....

It feels good to have the car on the dyno finally (and not blowing up haha) :) I had to stop before I maxed out at 9psi due to the fuel pumps overheating and dropping in pressure from all the heat soak. On the road it was rock solid. I'll be back soon, enjoy this video in the meantime :)
|
Mmm nice...!

:woot:

How can you maintain your fuel temps to help with that issue?

CarbonSignal posted a pic of your G and their new diffuser on InstaGram yesterday. Gorgeous as always Sam.
|
Thanks guys. This issue only pops up on the dyno or when I sit in traffic for like an hour. The moment I'm on the highway again things cool down. I'll probably end up relocating the surge tank and external pumps to my trunk area rather than between the mufflers.
|
check out any kind of liquid cooler tho incase you wanna be on the safe side :)
I am looking at a few coolers for trans fluid, and a diff cooler ;) |
What a badass build. I can't believe it took me this long to find this thread!
