Re: We're getting the Band Back together build... BJB's SC 426
Well, its been a while but it looks like it will be coming together next week. The motor has just been refreshed. New pistons, new cam, bigger TB. I went down to BES on Thursday... Yea, it was Thursday, the same day I got a 75/45 ticket from the Indiana State Police
Blow off valve is behind the drivers side headlight. You can see it in the photo's. As for the idle, it was a little rough at first, because there were a few things that changed (bigger cam, 100mm TB) Also had the injectors cleaned and flow tested so now the injector scaling is 100% correct. So to answer your question, she purrs like a kitten!! LOL
The calibration work is pretty much complete. She purrs like a kitten!! Have a problem with the supercharger belt alignment. And that lead to another problem... But the issue is a result of dropping the boost back to 12lbs. There was a bracket made up that holds the tensioner pulley. When this bracket was made I had the small pulley (18lb boost) and now that I went back to 12lb's the pulley is bigger and I ran out of travel for the tensioner. Fortunately I have the ability at work to re-make shit, LOL, so a new bracket was made up, brought it to the powder coater and should be good to go in a few days.
Brian, I had tons of issues with my belt. First I had problems with the belt jumping off and shredding. Then problems shredding the belt just from the power. Then problems with the tensioner its self. I finally have the best combo. Dayco tensioner which I notched out to give it more travel and a NAPA green back belt. This belt is THICK. No belt slipping, no shredded belts, nada!
