Just to let everyone know.. I am keeping it.... It was a something small. But I was SO frustrated to see that something happened so shortly after getting it back, I just freaking snapped. Brandon boyd and I found the source of the problem: the horizontal cable had popped out of the bracket in the engine bay. Unfortunately, I couldn't find this out till days later, because it was dark every chance I had to work on it. I'm going to however be keeping it low key with the cavalier. I will be adding only a TB and a set of cams sometime next summer and that is it. The motor that Dauber built is running excellently! When it is cool @ night it nearly sounds supercharged and traction is somewhat of an issue until 3rd gear.
I'm currently working on restoring the outside and figuring out some electrical issues it acquired from sitting for so long (lights). I have recently added my ClassGlass SS CF hood back on the car, as Snuggles is trading his Z in for a GTO. Jay If you talk to dauber ask him if he is gonna send me my oil pressure sender so I can figure out if I need to buy one. I am also currently installing my system that has been sitting in my closet for a year
HU: Eclipse 7001 indash monitor w/ 8 disc changer
EQ: Alpine ERE-G190
Fronts: Planer Audio PC54CK 5.25 components
Rear: Eclipse Point Source 6.5's
Amp: Planet Audio p4003 75x2 fronts and 300x1 subs
Subs: Resonant Engineering RE 8's x4
It should kick some serious SQL arse for next year iasca season.
Also Brandon Boyd and I are currently upgrading his FMIC and adding yet another larger turbo to his ecotec(currently a stage 3 t3/04). Also we are adding a external wastegate and awaiting a free reflash from the local GM dealership with the 2.2l SC program. Next year he plans on running close to 20 psi, so we'll see how it goes. I'll post some pics shortly of the cars progress since it has life once again!!!! Thanks Everyone!!!!
