yes sir. Originally 3.73 car, swapped to the 3.31 while it was still MT82. I sent the original 3.73 gear set to have micro polished because i had a feeling the th400 would like them better. After speaking with a couple people about the converter, I decided to make the swap back.

I was recommended 373 as well. Still awaiting parts....

wrapped up the center console and some wiring today.
Reverse camera was easy. used a relay to switch the bcm signal and the trans brake button to engage the relay.
n2mb was a little pain because I had thought that I could just use a 12v source to the clutch switch signal but I later discovered they Require a 5v signal. So I changed routes and instead, installed a relay into the factory clutch pedal switch wiring and used the trans brake button to engage it. Hope I didn’t hurt the module by trying to put 12v to the circuit but we will see. It’s virtually wired the same way as it was with the clutch pedal now. I’ll get a video when I can test it.

considering having a friend detail it also. It’s gotten out of control.

nice days are just around the corner!

finally installed a Leed Bandit power brake vacuum pump and mounted it into the trunk. I used the factory evap hardline to plumb it up to the booster itself. Just need to add yet another relay and wire it in. One day, once the car is mostly finished. I’m going to rip out all the added wiring and do some planned wiring. Adding as you go is a pita and ugly.

also got the gears swapped over from 3.31 to 3.73. Should make the converter much happier.

installed a 3.0 grip tech pulley so I can finally use the hub for all my pulleys. I don’t see the .05 difference effecting boost.

oh and I grabbed two of the new turbosmart gen V raceport supercharger blow off valves. I had to add a second bov so I figured best to make them match. I’m going to have these welded on and a new charge pipe from the driver side pipe to the tb fabricated to eliminated some of the couplers

oh and I found a massive boost leak in the poly tubing plumbed to the brake booster. Tubing had melted onto the header since I left it hanging due to knowing I was going to a pump.
Anyway, plucking away.

picking up a more towing capable truck come March so pretty excited to get a trailer and start traveling with the car. My plan this year is head to Michigan for roadkill nights and Woodward. Next year, I’ll do more travel racing. Hopefully.

3.73 rear end is finished up. Converter seems much happier.

New Turbosmart bov’s are installed and I changed up the vacuum source from a 6mm T to two 8mm independent hoses. Now the thing screams and is incredibly snappy. No more hanging idle after a pull. Almost ready to start moving some serious air

may end up needing to install some bumper quick disconnects because I already know once I get around to taking it all the way to 8500, when the bov’s pop off, it’s gonna blow the bumper clips apart on the passenger side. It’s already did it once with lower boost and 1 bov. Lol!

Hanging idle? Was this due to not enough BOV or a signal problem with smaller lines.

I blew my bumper off with the stock setup (single bv57 on charge pipe) at 150 mph with the JTB at about 17 psi when I let off the throttle. My solution was dual BV57s outside the engine compartment so some should go to arm, also did the hood vents.

come to find out, the turbo smart that was on the car had a blue spring inside so that, plus not having adequate vacuum source is what I believe was causing the hanging idle. It may not have needed the second bov with the current pulley combo but I know it will need it once I dig into my 2.75/2.5

putting the bov in the grill like you did is for sure the best option so solve the bumper coming apart. I’ve already been debating going to quick latch’s simply to make removing the bumper simple. Not sweating it too bad. Maybe I’ll zuse it and make it more race car

I was originally ran one procharger red valve without issue. When putting together my a2w setup I planned to run twin race ports as you did. But decided on a single power port. Similar flow and 150 cheaper.

Terry at beefcake gave me a great deal on the pair so it didn’t hurt too bad. What size is that flange?

2.5in or 60mm. Piping is 3.5in. I originally wanted to do 4.0in piping but the a2w I ended up with was 3.5, so that was the deciding factor.

Yea the raceport is 50mm. Not sure how the 60mm would fit on the small 3in pipe. Regardless, i had my sights on two raceports. This season is looking bright!!

Decided to take the car to pick up groceries since I finally got everything wired and complete.

well the velocity stack decided to come loose on the inlet and touch the impeller. On top of that, it sucked in the o ring that suppose to keep the pos in place.

so frustrating but I’ve got the blower removed and packaged to send to Vortech so that it can be fixed before April.

always something.

 

[80FoxCoupe]

Well that stinks. Did you find the original? Or the pieces of it I should say.
