That's right folks! The ol Punisher fired RIGHT up. AND idles even!
Only one small oil leak from the oil filter housing bolt. I knew I should have put some RTV on that bugger. Tightened it up heman style. We'll see how she is in the morning.
All sensors look good. Gobs and gobs of vacuum (which is new, and ironic since it's manual brakes.) Alternator is alternating.
Got quite the bark to her with a whole 6" worth of exhaust pipe. :O)
Will button up the wiring... move on to front brakes... rear axle... exhaust.... THEN DYNO!  |

As always, outstanding work paul. Can't wait to see/hear it!

too bad with that stocker cam in there, you lose your usable power by 5K
Sounds sweet though w/o exhaust on! _________________

I don't need to spin it higher than 5k. There would be no reason to.
The turbo will be designed to make boost from the get go, and since It's being forced in, you don't need the RPM to make the power so much.
When it blows I'll prob have to get a new cam anyway and go from there .
Thanks guys! I can't wait to fix the oil leak. I guess there is supposed to be an O-Ring on the filter adapter bolt. I'll have to yank it out and find a new O-Ring. I don't wanna fumble with the motor too much until I can get it mobile to tune it. Need to get the rear axle in there so I can plumb the exhaust. Thing is pretty loud. I wonder how low I could get it to idle ? :O) |

You'll have to forgive my lax knoledge about forced induction, but will there be enough exhaust pressure/velosity right off idle to get the impeller spinning?
Isn't exhaust pressure moving into the turbo regulated by some kind of gate? _________________
