I'm waiting for my Edelbrock# 2114 intake to arrive and tune it with the TunerCat. I'm more
anxious than all of you are to get it started. PEACE>Tony

hellbents10 · 06-15-2005, 07:17 PM

You wil like the edelbrock intake it made a big hp difference on Jay's truck. It really does well higher in the RPM's were the stock falls on its face from the bottle neck.

Keep up the good work Tony.

***Jess*** · 06-15-2005, 11:30 PM

Tony. when you test install those. keep an eye on the little breather baffle thingys inside. i had to bend mine on the egdes, just a little, to keep them from hitting the rockers. and you have to slide them around before tightening them down, again, to keep the baffles from hitting the rockers.

sy-clone · 06-16-2005, 01:05 AM

Thanks Jess and TJ for keeping an eye on me. It helps me alot to know you take the time to
make positive remarks on what I'm doing. Building this project on my own is a labor of love
because I don't have anyone to help me out. Sometimes I feel frustrated when things get
bogged down, but then I come on here and get encouraging comments that make me want
to continue. My thanks also to my buddy Sam(Mr. Corona). PEACE>Tony

s10rz350 · 06-16-2005, 01:26 AM

Better hurry.. I might be turbo'd before you

lol. cant wait to see some results.. or atleast an ecstatic post from you telling us how happy you are with it.

sy-clone · 07-15-2005, 05:49 PM

I finally got my Edelbrock converted mpfi manifold. Wow it's a beauty! Sam is one hell of a
craftsman.PEACE>Tony

hellbents10 · 07-15-2005, 06:09 PM

Very nice. Hows the room for the dist???

sy-clone · 07-15-2005, 06:41 PM

Won't know till I install it but I expect Sam to have taken that into consideration. T.J. I'll be needing your
tuner tricks real soon. PEACE>Tony

guhman2002 · 07-16-2005, 01:48 AM

Hey Sam, I am REALLY interseted in your intake manifold as I have a blower engine and a T04S turbo with stock fuel delivery... I was wondering, how much for this (the complete dilley-o like in the photo below...

gotswrv · 07-16-2005, 08:49 AM

Due to the......... unwavering ability to fall thru that the S-10 crowd shows, I've decided not to make any more. I believe AFI is offering them.
I was planning on a setup like Tony's to run $1500-$1750 depending on injectors and regulator needs. Not sure about AFI's pricing.
I will be offing what I have left over on the eBay soon.

Sam

***Jess*** · 07-16-2005, 12:23 PM

that looks pretty slick, Tony. can't wait to see it installed, and running.

guhman2002 · 07-16-2005, 01:24 PM

ummm.... Please

gotswrv · 07-16-2005, 08:19 PM

Not really the place to chat about it...

I figure anyone serious can email me at gotswrv@hotmail.com, that really helps with keeping all the different user names at bay. I'm not apposed to doing work if a good part of my cost are payed upfront. I cannot afford to continue to do what is very much one off work, and a hobby to me, and then have it all just set, me out of pocket.

Sam

guhman2002 · 07-17-2005, 03:15 AM

ok, email sent.. thanks.

s10rz350 · 07-18-2005, 12:25 AM

sweet.. looks to be worth every penny and more.

guhman2002 · 07-18-2005, 04:37 AM

Hey sy-clone.. what size turbo are you using.. Personally I am doing my build witha T04S 60-1

Right now I have a t3/t4 hybrid turbo from Innovative Turbo's that came with the Mach Perf. kit.
I'll be running that with the stock intake manifold while I get it running and do some inicial
tunning. My future plans are to use the Edelbrock modded intake along with a Turbonetics 62-1 / ar = .81 t4 that I already have on hand. It should take me to my goal of 500hp. PEACE>Tony

sy-clone · 08-18-2005, 11:38 PM

Here's my new throttlebody bonnet plus a little extra piece Sam made for me.PEACE>Tony

guhman2002 · 08-19-2005, 12:03 AM

nice... Rick is sending me his alumiunum bonnet with the kit.

gotswrv · 08-19-2005, 12:16 AM

Ricks bonnet is not like Tony's. You'll see soon enough.

Glad you liked the emblems. I've been tinkering every now and then with that idea.
Sam

guhman2002 · 08-19-2005, 01:27 AM

yeah, Rick said it isnt pretty, lol ... I need a name for my project... Idea's welcome.

MINTSICK · 08-19-2005, 10:43 AM

When is this truck going to finally be done!?!?!? J/K everything looks great.

7585 · 08-19-2005, 04:35 PM

This is an inspiring project! Nice job to all involved and especially sy-clone...

This is what being a gear head is all about...

sy-clone · 08-20-2005, 11:26 AM

Thanks for all the nice comments guys. I know I have been working on my project for a long
time but I want to get it right the first time. Thanks to forums like this I have been able to avoid
making mistakes and picking up alot of good ideas. I'll "get er done" for sure. PEACE>Tony

sy-clone · 10-02-2005, 10:30 AM

I have added the final piece of the puzzle to this project. In order to make sure I don't blow up
the engine I purchased a progressive controller alky kit. I've invested too much time and $$$
into this to have it go up in smoke. Should be firing it up within the next few weeks. Better
late than never. PEACE>Tony

guhman2002 · 10-02-2005, 06:21 PM

nice.

guhman2002 · 10-02-2005, 06:21 PM

oh, Tony, what head gasket are you using?

gotswrv · 10-02-2005, 06:49 PM

Which kit did you get again? I've been looking around at several since we talked. I found the one with hte low tank warning too.

Sam

sy-clone · 10-02-2005, 11:19 PM

The engine has ROL high temperature head gaskets. Great for forced induction.

www.devilsownonline.com . I got the 3 bar map progressive controller kit. PEACE>Tony

s10ls · 10-03-2005, 12:14 AM

subscribing.

that alky kit is very reasonabley priced. i had plans to go with a different setup, but may be changing now. cant wait to see how this whole project turns out. its gonna be a bad machine

guhman2002 · 10-03-2005, 12:18 PM

Tony, where did you go about ordering the head gasket...
I found the PN: HG32680HT , but they dont have any dealers on their website, when I called them they gave me a number to KOI and they said that they do not offer ROL gaskets.

badnoma · 10-06-2005, 01:06 PM

Anyone find out where you can get these head gaskets yet? I have to change mine tomorrow and i really dont want to use regular gaskets.

guhman2002 · 10-06-2005, 02:17 PM

Badnoma, yeah ... Order them from Autozone... 10$ each.. the come overnight.

HG32680HT .. make sure they order TWO as they are packages individually.

guhman2002 · 10-06-2005, 02:17 PM

I dont know about hteir website... but if you goto a AutoZone retail store before 1:00PM they will be in the next day usually.

sy-clone · 10-23-2005, 10:44 PM

New pics of the Edelbrock Elite valve covers and the meth pump. PEACE>Tony

, well, except for sun glass's . but thanx for the well wish's

been about 5 weeks now. if you have always worn glass's, you just don't know what your missing.

sy-clone · 11-15-2005, 08:07 PM

Ran into a snag when I tried to connect my tranny cooler line back to the rad, had no space in between the cobra head elbow and the rad. So I took this approch to the problem. Think it worked out pretty well. PEACE>Tony

I apologize for not following up on that. I'll get that corrected.

sy-clone · 11-27-2005, 05:33 PM

Just finished installing my alky kit along with the pressure guage. Also got a new air filter cause the K&N unit was too long for the space intended. It's the new AEM DryFlow filter.
Unlike the K&N, it doesn't use an oil impregnated element. PEACE>Tony
