My 89 Camaro Project

[Superdave]

between the hood and the ITB's maybe 3" up towards the front and 4+ inches in the back. Lots of room for an air cleaner.



first fire is still going to be a while, it's close though. Maybe in a week, i've got a top end to port then i can get back to work on it.

Wow, they don't stick up THAT far above a stock hood as is. Cool.

[Superdave]

this might give you an idea, they wouldn't work with a stock hood for sure.




as for what's left on the car...

run 1 heater core line
Plug wires (Accel cut-to-fit set)
buy a 68.5" belt
Run a power wire to the ICM
Hook up the cooling fan
Install the kickdown cable
Find a throttle cable
fluids

Vroom Vroom??

[Superdave]

Why yes.. i ran it for a whole 2 seconds today. No gas in the tank so i dumped a little in each stack and it fired right up.

I'm going to pick up a new battery tomorrow and a few gallons of gas so i can get a proper video. I doubt i'll drive it this year but just knowing that it runs is good enough for me. Too bad it's probably going to sit outside till late February when the snow melts away.

It sounds great Dave.

AAAhhh... now I understand. You went with an automatic because you couldn't find a 5 speed throttle cable setup.

[Superdave]

lol, thanks Marc.

The custom throttle cable works great, i can't wait to run down the strip with it.


I think the IAC is still starving for air, i might just block it off and use the throttle stop to control the idle for now.

[bob442]

thats actually what i wonder now, how is the IAC setup to work with 6 TB's, is there 6 small pipes that merg into one with the IAC on it?

[geldartb]

sounds nice as always.

at the guy that said nice 2.8 in the comments

Yes, there are 6 lines to a common plenum that houses the IAC motor and the vacuum ports. There really isn't enough volume there to give a good MAP signal but since my tune is set up for pretty much no idle vacuum as it is the car seems to run ok.

[ForcedFirebird]

Sounds great! I wanna hear it rev up a little

[Jonpro03]

Nice 2.8L LOL!

[montess408]

nice to see you got it runnin' but i would not want to be you with all that wiring to do .

[SappySE107]

That is going to be fun to tune. The IAC needs to be larger for 6 ITBs plus the pulse dampening sucks with that setup as you described for the MAP. Probably have to manipulate tables you normally wouldn't mess with, so yeah, lots of fun for you Sounds pretty damn mean right now.
