Fat Larry's GTR Build

[Larry J Kishel]

Joel let me see how the pedal feels and if it’s to hard I have the old cylinder so I can switch it out

 

[Ken Roberts]

Larry, your throttle pedal controller at the pedal assembly looks just like my C6 Corvette controller. I didn’t know you could use it with a Ford engine.

 

[Larry J Kishel]

This came with the Life Racing ECU system I purchased from Danzio Racing

 

[Ken Roberts]

They are getting really hard to find at times. Here is the part number #25835421. I have collected a couple as spares. They are always out of stock but you can still buy them on EBay from salvage cars.

 

[Michael Hampson]

Looking fantastic, Larry!!! Great Job!

 

[Larry J Kishel]

So she is slowly coming back together all I need is time and that is short when this working thing keeps getting in the way but you know the old saying will sell no wine before it’s time

 

[Joel K]

Looking good Larry.

 

[Larry J Kishel]

A couple more things added between snow blowing

 

[Kurtiss H.]

Nice work Larry. Looks really good!

 

[Larry J Kishel]

Ok so I had a good day I wanted to see if I could get the car fired up for the first time and we’ll she ran on the first try. No with all builds there is the occasional leaks or wired sounds so I am going to need to do a once over. I will post the running engine once I sort out the bugs

 

[Kurtiss H.]

Congratulations Larry!

 

[Larry J Kishel]

Sometimes I do like modern technology so today I had Chris from Danzio Performance log in from California and do some tweaks to his program so she is running perfect

The above is the motor running after the tuning from Danzio in Calf she sounds good I was able to drive in and out of the garage today so I am happy now time to finish up a few more task and off to Allans for paint and final touches

 

[Neil]

very quiet!

 

[Larry J Kishel]

Yes Neil until you step on the throttle I can’t wait to get it down the road so the turbos kit in and see How it sounds then.

 

[Neil]

Larry, there are many good features of turbochargers but one sometimes overlooked is that they act as pretty efficient mufflers.

 

[Michael Hampson]

Great work, Larry!

 

[Larry J Kishel]

So I was able to take the car around the block a couple of times today she felt good I think a few tweaks here and there we should be good. I did go into the throttle a little just to here the turbos kit in wow I think this will be one fun car to drive.

Next time out let me know how hot the nose of the car gets. Mine feels scorching above the radiator.
