Hello everyone - sorry for the long delay- it has been a crazy busy summer.
Picking back up on the Corvette build:
First update - we upgrade the Heat Exchanger water pump on the Corvette - I had the Bosch OEM style pump but those are undersized and underpowered for this application.
So in this episode - we install an EMP Water pump:
Second update:
In a previous episode -we had installed a set of Hinson motor mounts. At the time on the install I didn't realize that they could be prone to failure due to heat - so I picked up a set of Hinson engine mount heat shields - and install them in this episode:
Third update:
After we got the car back together - I went for a test drive and ran into a huge problem. I ended up blowing out the rear main seal - and had to tear the car apart and replace it.
Last update:
Continuing the problems from the last episode - we ran into a huge problem(s) on the dyno: including fuel pressure drop, a Hobbs switch failure, and a TB failure:
Thats going to be it for the Corvette updates - I actually kicked off a build on the SS - I will post those videos shortly.
I am currently working on the Corvette right now - and will get back to posting videos about those projects very soon.
