MONTE CARLO "COPO" Monte Carlo SS - Turbosaurus Build (Swinging Dick Racing's c*ck got bent... she bounced a little too high & hard, & came down awkwardly)

[motorheadmike]

Doing some light refresher reading on preparing an LS1 conversion harness: http://www.lt1swap.com/1999-02fbodypcmpinout.pdf and how to modify a truck harness to act more like a standalone LS1 harness: http://www.lt1swap.com/Gen3_harness_mods_LT1SWAP_comHQ.pdf It is missing a few details on how to omit the transmission controls/sensors since I am running a 200-4R (and eventually a manual trans).

To prove I can do more than just buy new parts...

Going POR-15 over this to hide the shame.

Did a parts run today. Got a dinky little Griffin rad tucked in there now - lots of room for fans and turdbos.

And a *****-sized fuel pressure regulator.

Next time get the double ended regulator.

I've never seen a regulator like that. Why the huge head...

Because bigger is better, silly!

Mike, I've been using this FPR for years and it works great, even has boost referencing which I'll need. Does the Holley hold a reserve of fuel?

I was discussing this with my brother the other day and here are his thoughts:

I have always believed it has something to do with the spring constant, the travel required for flow by the ball, and the smaller percentage of pressure rise compared to-base pressure.

Really it is more of a fancy race car part. There is a sensitivity consideration between turbo and supercharged applications that this may fill as well. Racetronix has a perfectly suitable AFPR for $99 much like the Aeromotive unit you have or the SX unit I had on my Turbo Buick. With the Holley sale and eBay coupon this Holley unit wasn't much more.

Tada!

POR-15 can eat a dick. Can said semi-gloss. First coat dried to a semi-gloss finish. Second coat, same can, dried glossy. Oh well - she it ain't no showcar.
