88mm Turbo 5.4 Build by Z06KILLR

5 minute(s) of a 30 minute read

The Bauman (stand alone computer for the 4R70W) came in, along with the twin disc precision converter. It should rev to about 4500...

I soldered the wiring up for the weldon and completed installing it. Note the rubber pads inbetween the weldon and the mount, and the mount and the body. This is ideal for keeping the noise/harmonics to a minimum

I opted for a pickup tube vs sumping the tank (i dont like the look of a sump). To go this route i used a 94 tank (from autozone, $100 new), a vortech intank pickup ($90), and a -8 feed/-6 return.

The 94 tank uses a different filler neck (style and size), tank seal, and trunk seal. These must be changed along with the tank. The fuel level sensor was integrated into the fuel pump on my car from the factory...on the 94 tanks it isseperate. The wires on the factory harness must be spliced into and connected to the seperate fuel level sensor

Here is a shot of the pickup tube on the tank...

The evac pump is mounted and awaiting for the motor for final plumbing/electrical runs. This will come on at 2lbs of boost via a hobbs switch...it is a 97 Cobra Smog Pump. I mounted it inside the fender/inner fender so it's out of sight...

Hope to have the Bauman installed this week as well as the guages/boost controller wired up. Perhaps the motor will even be done...then it will really start coming together

The Innovative Wideband (left) and TurboSmart Eboost2 (right) are all wired up a mounted. I got about 90% of the wiring done for the 5 guages and 2 warning lights.

Here is the wideband LC-1 mounted behind the inverted horns. You can also see the feed wires from the battery in the trunk and guages/lights in the interior.

The valve for the Boost Controller.

Hope to wrap up all the wiring (at least on the interior and evac pump) tomorrow...more then.
