I just watched a video from Ugly Truck Experience. They modified a a/c mount so the compressor could be mounted on the right lower side of the engine and it would clear the frame.
Interesting.... normally that jute backing is already affixed to the back of the carpet? I've gotten ACC carpets for many of my cars, and that's a first. Yeah I kinda agree, blue would have been WAY better. Normally if you reach out to them, they can send out samples. Thats what I usually do before ordering. Car's shaping up nicely. When another video coming out of it???
Hey man, just bought these in alcantara (still waiting on them). I wanted to teach my sisters (5’6 and 5’8) how to drive Manual. When you say comfortable throw, is there no extra work to press the clutch in? Like you don’t need to force your left side into the clutch?
I'm new to your channel & I'm a proud C5 owner of almost 2 whole weeks now. I am NOT "The Guy" who's suppose too or expected to own a vette. By any means! I had the stars align & got an 00' with less than 46K on it. The car's similar to myself; Solid on the inside, rough around the edges. Car's had a LOT of sun damage. A LOT. Enjoyed the vid. Confused why you said your "not a professional" blending a C5? Blending paint on ANY vehicle is one of the hardest parts of body work/auto spraying, in my somewhat hands on experienced opinion. All the couch critics these days w/social media will tell you how to do it & they have never held a sprayer, let alone sprayed. Adjusted pressure & don't know what a water separator is. You done DAMN good in my book my Man!!
I was going to have the same problem if I bought Holly Mid mount kit. Plus it was really high for my budget. I actually wound up building my own brackets which put my AC compressor down low.
Awesome.... Im just starting on the same route as you. Twin turbo ls nova... Any updates on the ac situation using the speed engineering look alike turbo headers?
I know I’m 4 years late but 3 things the computer can be bad it’s been my experience with silverados/tahoes that they don’t get proper o2 input when they’re bad. 2nd current performance has made mistakes before I got a harness from them that was wired wrong that I had to send back. 3rd you could have dirty/faulty injectors or improper ground to then
That’s such a beautiful car! Love those 55. Take it easy with that headliner, ol stuff don’t like to be disturbed, it’s kinda wool made and very sensitive!
Please do some update videos on this build. I just started my 71 nova. My 5.3 is at the machine shop now. Parts are coming in, twin turbos are here already!
I’m glad u mentioned that cam for the LS becuz I want a stage 2 and this is my first LS Swap and just my 4 banger and tranny outta mine took about 2 hours now gotta clean up and Got a 03/04 LS 5.3 outta a Silverado 706 Heads I call mine (LiL Mean 10)
Awesome video! THANKS! My wife's mint C5 'lost the top' recently. It's the same as yours but with stock polished wheels. Only the 2 back corners are dinged. Hopefully I can get it back to original. Yours is awesome. Thanks again for the info brother! BTW, nice beard.
Looks Great! be a good idea to (Jet Hot) all those pipes and go with the 2500 degree coating. I’m working on a 1967 SS/RS LSX 376 and the coated headers are beautiful. Great Job.
Adding to tee to the return is the wrong way to do it. When you add a tee the return fluid conflicts or clashes with the other creating a slow return of the pedal back to the up position. The correct way to do this is to have a reservoir with two returns.
Hey did u get this car done? I'm doing the exact same build and would like a little walk around ur finished project. Never build a twin or turbo car and would like to see how ur piping and stuff is ran
Do you think it’s the current performance harness because everyone, I know that didn’t use the Kermit for best buy a harness there’s run great fast too
I can’t get mine to right either it’s like it has no full power kinda back fires?? I’m getting the right fuel pressure and I’m getting a knock sensor issue? And their new and working Simone told me it’s because theirs too much sound going on ? With build I went everything expensive and top of the line so I won’t run into no issues and I am
I know this is 4 year old video but did you have any issues with yaw sensor on passenger side seat brackets? Looking at replacing passenger seat but worried about yaw sensor obstruction with seat bracket.
I have this same kit in my 70 nova. I would highly recommend getting the headers re-welded and pressure tested. Mine were full of pinholes. Also completely agree on the intercooler setup there's 2 miles of piping, and all of it has clearance issues, I ended up ditching the intercooler they sent me and running something else with no front bumper
I am installing Corbeau RRB reclining seats into my 2001 Z06. I just sold the stock seats for $1000 and ordered the Corbeau seats and brackets for $1237. I highly recommend these seats! I will probably do a video on the fit and what I needed to do to get them installed.
I went with the passenger side low mount compressor. Same headers. To get around the spark plug wire issue I ordered some color matched heat shield sock type in order to not cook the wires. I went with eBay “Fapo” brand because they have better spacing on the manifold pipes. Are you using a air to water intercooler?
Where did you order the rest of the parts for the hydroboost? I bought that same one and have it sitting in the truck. (For the exact same reason...coils...)
