    I'm noticing a dynamic with these builds: Lee is definitely more the purist while Dalt's more the mad scientist. Would love to see Lee doing a crazy fantasy engine swap of his own (The Redeye maybe?) and Dalt go down the purist route once things settle down at the shop. Great job cranking out two builds in a month!

    Fun fact Synergy Motorsports used my car to mock and fab that C6 trunk tank on my A2W YSI Z06. Gotta keep them IATs down!! Cool seeing guys all over running the tank knowing my car helped to make it happen!! BTW with a cam and your muffler deletes you won’t hear noises from the trunk tank.

    some high pressure injector pumps require a low pressure high volume lift pump that is pressure regulated with an air separator canister that bleeds back into the main tank... that's how the #044 155psi 90GPH pump I have works, that and 10 gauge wires to power the three pumps because is has two lift pumps "one on each side of the main tank, 14GPM 80psi lift pump regulated to 45psi so the actual fuel injector pump does very little to bring it up to the rail".

    9:10 the relay for the intercooler pump is supposed to be of a thermostatic switch same as the radiator fan... will not turn on below "?*F/C" to prevent ice from accumulating inside the cooler that would clog the intake. to that a handful of dry ice chunks in the water box just goes... if it was running full time "excessive battery consumption (-mpg)" and the grid would see -80*F thus clogging up with crystalized water vapor.

      You will loose control of pump via hptuners. Pump will attempt to kick on immediately vs the preset delay you see after start/ ac on. This pump draws hella amps and with give you all kinds of issues upon start. In accessory mode it will also draw enough power to kill your battery in about 10 min. It will work both ways but it’s best to let car control it. It gave me no speedo, no tach, check engine lights, abs and suspension warning all because car was “starving” of power on start up. Wired it to harness and all problems gone.

    All you have to do is get a regular 4 pin relay, Bosch style, and run a good power in, good power out to the pump, ground it and use a switched 12v source for the switching current for the relay. It'll run all the time but who cares.

    • @unmountablebootvolume
      @unmountablebootvolume Рік тому

      @@ryanbarbolt3691 Not safer, actually slightly less safe, as the wire now always has power on it, but transistors switching to ground are just way more efficient, so they can be much smaller, cheaper, stay colder and last longer. That's also why positive ground would make sense again (and is now often used in electronics), but it would be confusing for mechanics, which is why nobody does it. No car manufacturer wants to replace 20 modules on a brand new car because their own dealership tech connected the battery in reverse.
