Did the Injectors, Plugs, and Re-Mag'd it last night
 

No info to report "yet", a lot of wishful thinking though, and another post showing Rob is totally INSANE

Suppose to thunder storm all day today, Labor Day party's next weekend, Sals crazy busy, I'm crazy busy, so I came up with a wacky idea yesterday.
My sons B-Day party was dieing down @ 6-ish so I get in touch with Sal and ask if I can come down and pick up the Injectors, some Plugs, the Mag, and a new tune to make it all work, he was like OK but I can only wait to 7.

I get there at 7, Sal da man hangs out to at least 8, hooks me up with all I need; the Mag, the new 60lb Injectors, the new Denso IT-24's, a start up tune for the SCT, and some great tricks of the trade to install it all.

I still had a stragler from the party with me, my son and off to a late dinner we went.

We get home and settle in and sometime around 9-ish I decide, HEY WHY NOT GO OUTSIDE WITH A DROP LIGHT AND GO FOR IT, hehehehe

So from 9:30 to 1:30 there I went, just me, the pitch dark, and the dam bugs
(&@^(@$#@($&#@$^@($%(@$%@$ (oh ya and a drop light)

WA LA......

A little too dark for pic's, but once again my intercooler was spotless, WOO HOO, and all went off without a hitch....

At @ 1pm I was doing the plugs and said to myself, SELF I WONDER IF ANYONE ELSE IS AS CRAZY AS US, hehehehehe....

THANK YOU SAL
for staying late, allowing me to install it, (hence saving me a lot of money), and of course that awesome start tune. Purring like a kitty and sounding fine.
:thumbsup:

I've put my foot in my mouth and ass a hundred times recently so I can only hope and pray this is the end of the nightmare and soon I'll be making 600 HP passes.....

We always said the Mag would go back on, and the time has come.
Sal has a few tricks up his sleeve and we'll report our findings as they unfold..

I hope this solves your problem Rob. Good luck and keep us posted..


btw. the nitrous install looks kick ass!!! :rocker: :rocker:

Look at it this way, Rob...just a little more experience working on your own truck!! :devil:

Thanks Guys. I'm telling you Ed, who would have thought I had to become a Lightning mechanic when I bought this Beast, hehehehe
Never did injectors before this but piece of Cake I tell you, as for the SC and Plugs I'd bet I'm faster than any Ford Dealership, hehehehehe

Actually taking the Eaton apart, cleaning up the gaskets, re-painting it, resealing it and putting it back together is the most time comsuming part of the job. Well that and torqing those dam SC bolts with my 60's Tq Wrench :lol: Plus I'm sure it would have been a lot easier and faster had it been light out and I didnt have to deal with a light bulb's work area at a time. But 4 hours aint bad IMO

BTW
Wait til the bitch finds out I couldn't find the Vasoline so I had to use her Adam and Eve Motion Lotion on the injectors. I wonder if they'll get hot if I blow on them http://www.lightningrodder.com/forum...efault/044.gif

I am sooooooooooo tired from last night I still havent even taken it out for a ride yet, (crazy but true). Later tonight I will and man I'm looking foward to that Whine and 23 lbs of Boost it had, WOO HOO...........

NOTE TO SELF:
TAKE IT EASY A WHILE HU

Rob, I hate when you post these threads!! Now I'm going to have to wait for the results! I wish you wouldn't post until you had the results...good luck, I hope it works out well, I will have my MP + JDM motor results soon also. :rocker:

I hope all goes well buddy. It will be great to hear that thing scream.
Mine should be ready soon for some break in miles and then hope for 550hp in street trim. :rocker:
Jim

Best of luck Rob, and keep us updated.

Hoping for the same thing, where did you have your motor done? I live in central CT.

:lurk:

waiting on results of 23 pounds and a "start tune" from Sal. hehe Rob do you ever actually try to dial your truck in BEFORE you pound the snot out of it? :D

HOPE THIS WORKS FOR YOU!!!!
(we all do :devil: )

your not the only crazy loony. i have been up to midnight changing plugs, was up to 2 am painting my S/C a few weeks back!

Good luck brother!

AH for the record, basically NO :lol:
ok ok but let the record show I was very good last night and kept it to 15lbs of boost max, and I will stop by Sals as soon as he gets a minute to Dyno it once again. I PROMISE :p

BTW, it was great to hear the ole Mag Whine once again, as soon as we check the AF, I'm going to get this sucker back to the track and really put it through some testing :D

Just back on top to show what I did
