looks good. nice and clean

I've decided to go with the Edelbrock and 65# injectors.Also I already bought
the TunerCat program and I have the colaboration of "gotswrv,hellbents10,
BoostedThrills and Teeleton. Right now I'm just waiting for the manifold,tb adaptor and fuel rails to be powder coated. PEACE>Tony

That truck will definitely be a show stopper when it's done! I've been following your progress since almost day one. I will say this: you've got the patience of a saint, Tony!

With as much work as you've got into it, and all the little "polishing touches" you've got on it, I'd almost be afraid to race it! Mind you, I did say "almost!"

Keep us posted on how it goes!

Yea I got all the parts.I'm just waiting for the Edelbrock intake to arrive.It's
already powder coated along with the fuelrails and the tb spacer. Gonna be
using 65# injectors along with the TunerCat program. Once I get it running
with the t3/t4 hybrid turbo, my next upgrade will be the Turbonetics 62-1
that I already have along with an 8.8 rear axle out of a 95+ Ford Explorer.
My main obstacle is the tuning. It's all trial and error. PEACE>Tony :confused:

[Maximus]

Well good luck hope it all comes out good.Take pics and keep us posted.

[Maximus]

First off it's looking really slick Tony.Who made the plate for your throttlebody and which Edelbrock intake is that.Ive not seen Edelbrock make a vortec intake that has injector bungs already in it.

[94s10]

edelbrock doesnt make a MPFi manifold, its an edelbrock 2114 manifold for a carb thats been machined and the injectors bungs welded in. looks awesome tony

[Sy-Clone]

The plate was made by my buddy Sam(gotswrv)and also the manifold is all his
work. He is thinking of making this stuff available. Contact him if you're interested. His work speaks for itself. I'll be starting up the engine soon with the
stock manifold and t3/t4 turbo.Once I fine tune this setup and see what it puts
out, I'll be switching over to the Edelbrock,65#injectors and the Turbonetics 62-1turbo. Fortunately we have TunerCat now and can modify our stock ecu's.

I've seen Sam's work -- really good, to say the least (of course, I'm no true judge of machining work, but it looks good, nice and neat).

Hopefully Tunercat will eliminate the EGR. 65# injectors! Wow. . . That's some serious fuel delivery. . .

If I remember, you're using a 4x4, right? If so, did you convert it to AWD? I seem to recall seeing you post something about that.

[Maximus]

I might have to look him up about that intake.I have a set of 98 vortec heads just waiting to go on my CPI engine.I might look in to going MPFI with a intake like that.I could use my stock TBI for the air flow like Edelbrock's TBI to MPFI kits are made.Only issues would be turning a two injector signal system in to a batch fired speed density MPFI system.Which can be done just like Edelbrocks kit.It sure would open up more options.Supercharging could be approached differently since your no longer a blow through system.Even n/a the hp/tq curve would be increased greatly by the added air flow of the Edelbrock intake,vortec heads,and a better fuel a/f mixture.OHHH the gears are turning fast now.Im starting to get all kinds of fun ideas.If you don't mine me asking Tony how much did he charge you to fix the intake.Because I must say he done one very good job.

My truck is a 2wd 98 Sonoma ext.cab.I thought about awd, but I'm not equipped to do a conversion like that. So my next option was to build a 4.3 with as much reliable hp as possible. My progress is very slow but I don't want to rush into it. I know that when I start her up, my heart will be pounding and I'll have a big ole smile on my face.Thanks to forums like this, I made alot of progress and most of all friends.PEACE>Tony :D

I can see the smoke comin out your head man! As far as pricing the intake, you'll have to contact Sam about that. Usually when you do the first build on
something it's more expensive cause you have to run around finding parts and
pieces. He's a straight up guy and I know he'll give you a fair price.
PEACE>Tony :)

[Maximus]

I don't blame you for taking your time and doing it right the first time.I have been building this CPI engine fotr almost a year.Well it's took that long because my TA comes first lol.But it will be done by this summer.....I hope.

The TB actually sits around 1/8" lower than stock.That is nice work you did there bro.I might hit ya up one day for one of those if you make them by order.

[gotswrv]

I don't have a problem making up more... I may just sell them through a local speed shop if it gets busy. I expect Tony's to be the most complete package I ever have to deliver. I know most of us like to do everything we can to our own tastes, and few will ever want everything from the fuel line in all the way to the fuel line out. After all we do it so it's done our way.

I would like to offer just enough to allow one to shop at Summit for as much as they can. Give everything needed to be able to buy plain old NPT and AN fittings, domestic injectors, regulator, etc. That was always the goal, to be able to use standard parts. Not to force people into using anything specific, or rather like the stock manifold, force people not to do anything.
As far as I can tell the only thing the end user should have to "make" is to bend, cut, and drill a hole into the throttle body bracket. I am going to look into what these will cost to purchase from the dealer and re-work them for those who cannot "make" anything.

I'm glad you guys seem to like it. Seems like it's been a long time coming(Tony, you have been very patient, thank you). If anyone has any ideas to make it better please speak up. People not listening to us is why I took this project on in the first place.

Later,
Sam

I sent my vortec heads to the machine shop today to get checked out and do a little work to them for a few extra ponies.So I might be needing one of your intake jobs pretty soon.I wanna convert my 2 injector TBI system to a 6 injector MPFI and just use my throttle body for air intake only like Edelbrocks conversion for smallblocks.I noticed Tony's was powder coated but didn't know if he got it done or you did it.If so do you do the powder coating yourself or use someone else.

[gotswrv]

We are really running away with Tony's post here... I guess I should start another? Look for it in this area.

[Sy-Clone]

Another step closer to getting the "Turbonoma" done. I installed the intercooler
today. PEACE>Tony

[ZR1-S10]

Have you done any tests yet? How much preesure drop is there across the intercooler? How much does it lower heat?

You gotta give Tony credit,he takes his time and does a very clean looking install.And to me that is everything.I hate a nasty looking install that looks jerry rigged together.

with bigger injectors and get the most out of the 4.3. Just my 2 cents.

I hate to see someone trying to stick it to you gotswrv.I ran in to that here while back with a L98 TPI engine.I priced it real low when the guy got here he tried to get me to take even a lot less for it.I told him to get his ass to scootin I wouldn't sell it to him after that for noithing.Its just plain insulting.But it's my nature to give every body the benefit of the doubt.

[Sy-Clone]

As an aficionado of hotrodding I have come away from this experience a winner.
I've had the pleasure of learning quite a few things,picked up a new fuel delivery
system for my project and best of all got to make new friends who share a love for cars,music,and other things as I do. I've been working on my project for awhile now and some people say I have great patience. One things for sure,
I'm not quitting till I'm finished. Alot of people want things to drop out of the sky for them and once they run into a little trouble, they say it's too hard,too much money or not worth it. If that attitude were prevailent, man would not have put
a step on the moon. I know once I'm done, I'll be spanking quite a few quiters.

Here's the lastest on the turbonoma. I changed out the fuel pump and wouldn't you know it, another problem comes up. The truck wouldn't start and it acts as if it's on a weak battery. No voltage to the fuel pump. I'm told to check for a bad starter. I already checked the pump and it's ok. I was told to hook up the taillight harness and the ground wires and nothing happened. Was told s-10 are notorious for burning the starter without a hint. Wish I had more direct help. PEACE>Tony

i responded to your thread at s10 forum. what size wire did you use for the main power feed from the battery in the bed? what about ground? i had similar issues, ran a 0 gauge feed and three 8 gauge grounds, solved all my problems, which were similar to yours

I used 4 gauge feed and one ground feed from the battery. I used the mad enterprizes startum up and relocation kits. Mark said that the 4 gauge feed was
ok. Guess I should use a couple more ground feeds direct from the battery. I'm
also gonna remove the starter and take it down to Advance and have them check it out. PEACE>Tony

Turns out the starter was making too many amps(150)and over heating thus causing the weak cranking condition. Bought a new one and hope to install it tomorrow.PEACE>Tony

[Sy-Clone]

It's running guys! Had to buy a new battery too. Stuff turns to crap when it lays around for too long. Used a battery charger to fire it up. I also added some extra ground cables for good measure. Thanks to all for the suggestions. Working on getting some vids asap. PEACE>Tony

[Sy-Clone]

Started it up with the new battery today. Idles rough and I have to feather the throttle to keep it running.Efans aren't working so it got hot real quick. Afr says it's 18.8 and my fp reads 38lbs. Tried putting it in gear and nada. Hope it's not the torque converter. Still have alot to do but I'm kinda motivated again. PEACE>Tony

[Sy-Clone]

I downloaded the ecu with tunercat today. Gonna send the file to Frank aka Revolution for a new tune. I'm going to try and use my carcode scanner and see how it works. PEACE>Tony

[Badco]

Can't wait to see vids of this thing!

[Sy-Clone]

The Mach tune is a pos according to Frank aka "Revolution". He just sent me a new one tonight. I'm waiting on my TunerCat exchanged converter box to install it plus get the new MxScan data logger. Progress is slowwwwwwwwwww but I'll
get there. Oh and by the way the truck runs but not like it should. PEACE>Tony

[gotswrv]

Shaggman says our box is on the way back. Got a return shipping message yesterday. Shouldn't be long for you.Sam

[Sy-Clone]

Here's the new face of "sy-clone". Should be ok in a few weeks. I'm just rolling with the punches. PEACE OUT>Tony :(

[Sy-Clone]

Well guys,I know the updates have been long and in between. I have re-cooped from my surgery. The turbonoma is awaiting for the tuning to begin. I'm vacationing for the holidays with my family in Florida. I'll be meeting up with Justin aka leadfoot in Tampa this week. Gonna shoot the bull and have a few coronas. Happy new year to one and all and may this year be when we all get our trucks running the way we want. PEACE OUT>Tony

[Sy-Clone]

Finally got back from my holidays trip to Florida. Hung out with Justin aka "Leadfoot" over in Tampa. Well I went and started up the engine and to my surprize it remained idling. Before I would have to keep my foot on the gas peddle at around 1700rpm or it would die out. I think the ecu is still on a learning curve. I did unplug the maf so it would start up running on speed density. Later I plugged it back in while still running and it remained the same. PEACE OUT>Tony

[Sy-Clone]

I got around to making the video today and it looks and sounds sweeet! I had to spend the day reprograming my satellite receiver cause I can't live without my tv. I'll upload the vid asap. I know you will especialy enjoy the engine audio. PEACE OUT>Tony

[Sy-Clone]

Had some computer problems today and I also had to go out and buy a fire wire cable cause the new camera didn't include one. I'll try uploading the vid tomorrow. PEACE OUT>Tony

[Sy-Clone]

Well here it is guys. Tell me what you think...thanks. PEACE OUT>Tony

Nice!

[Sy-Clone]

Now I have tranny problems,seems the converter was installed incorrectly and it broke the pump. Gonna take this oportunity to have it built to take the abuse.
PEACE OUT>Tony :(

[Joker2040]

very nice

[Sy-Clone]

Trans fixed and working. Sam's redoing the throttlebody bonnet with a v-band clamp so it holds better. While he's doing that, I finally started installing my 2114 intake. Just need some misc. parts to finish it. After that, we start tunning. PEACE OUT>Tony

[Blazer69]

[Maximus]

This is one of those long term but done the right way projects.

[Mikz86TA]

Nice manifold. What kind is the base and where did you get the TB adapter? Is that for a stock style TBody?

[Dogsofjune]

It's a 2114. A fellow that made it used to show up around here on occasion. Gotswrv. Made the tb adapter and modded the manifold. I'm pretty sure the Tony is using the stock tb like I am.

[Sy-Clone]

Holidays are over so I'm back at it again. Just need to hook up a few things and I'll be testing and tuning soon. PEACE>Tony

[87wildside]

Looks great. Talk about slow and steady. I can't wait to see some numbers.

[Sy-Clone]

LOL!!!:slomo: I know I'm a slow poke. It's just that s10/s15's are not popular out here,so I'm on my own all the time except for what I can pick up from forums like this. Remember the story of the hare and the turtle:lol2: :pound: :rotfl:

[Sy-Clone]

Well guys the 2114 install is 99% complete. Waiting on fittings to finish hooking up the fpr to the fuel rails. PEACE>Tony

your truck is an inspiration to me and many. congrats!!

[bespurcell]

That looks clean.

[Chrisvich]

Ummmm and I thought my engine was clean.....you put me to shame. thats awesome

[Sy-Clone]

Got a cal. file from Sam aka gotswrv and I'm gonna install it tomorrow and see if it starts up. I'll have a vid soon. PEACE>Tony

[Cameo_S10]

Man that is one sweet looking Engine compartment. Can't wait for the vid, I am probably as anxious as you are Sy. LOL :D

[Sy-Clone]

I downloaded the cal.file. The engine turns over but won't start. Need to check the usual stuff first like timing,spark,and making sure the injectors are working.
PEACE>Tony

[D-Caf]

Man that looks soooooo sweat. Can't wait to here it fired up and you got to go get it dynoed!

[Sy-Clone]

Found a gas leak on one of my hard fuel lines. Plugs are dry.Need to verify the dizzy and check for voltage at the injectors. Rome was not built in one day but this is killing me. PEACE>Tony

[Sy-Clone]

Well Sam sent me a revised tune today. He changed the injector delay. Hope this is enough to fire it up. PEACE>Tony

[Sy-Clone]

Well after coming back home,I checked out the electricals and it looks ok. I have spark at the coil but I discovered some other gas leaks around the Y block in the rear of the mani. I also noticed I have no fuel pressure or at least the gage is not registering it now.@#$%&* seems like when I get close to firing it up, something else shows it's ugly face and throws a wrench at me. PEACE>Tony

[nomaboy]

start dodging the wrenches faster damnit. I wanna see what it will do.

[bespurcell]
