  • It's been over a YEAR since work began on my abandoned Corvette C6 ZR1 and it's FINALLY time to take it for it's first drive! IF we can build oil pressure, that is...

    I'm noticing a dynamic with these builds: Lee is definitely more the purist while Dalt's more the mad scientist. Would love to see Lee doing a crazy fantasy engine swap of his own (The Redeye maybe?) and Dalt go down the purist route once things settle down at the shop. Great job cranking out two builds in a month!

    Fun fact Synergy Motorsports used my car to mock and fab that C6 trunk tank on my A2W YSI Z06. Gotta keep them IATs down!! Cool seeing guys all over running the tank knowing my car helped to make it happen!! BTW with a cam and your muffler deletes you won’t hear noises from the trunk tank. I can’t with my setup with corsa sports.

    some high pressure injector pumps require a low pressure high volume lift pump that is pressure regulated with an air separator canister that bleeds back into the main tank... that's how the #044 155psi 90GPH pump I have works, that and 10 gauge wires to power the three pumps because is has two lift pumps "one on each side of the main tank, 14GPM 80psi lift pump regulated to 45psi so the actual fuel injector pump does very little to bring it up to the rail".

    9:10 the relay for the intercooler pump is supposed to be of a thermostatic switch same as the radiator fan... will not turn on below "?*F/C" to prevent ice from accumulating inside the cooler that would clog the intake. to that a handful of dry ice chunks in the water box just goes... if it was running full time "excessive battery consumption (-mpg)" and the grid would see -80*F thus clogging up with crystalized water vapor.
