Project 91 "SS" 3400/5spd

I'm trying to find someone/place to engrave my Gen II valve cover, but no luck so far.

Those are flat on the top, right? Should be easy enough to do.

Make them look kinda like this:

[Asylum]

That's exactly what I want, and yes there is a wonderful flat spot on the top.

I haven't looked all that hard but now that I have it on and it doesn't leak (You have to mess with the gasket land a bit) I want to get it done.

[woody90gtz]

You didn't even match the paint! hahah And is that electrical tape on your AN PCV line?

[Asylum]

NO A-FART!

It's a black PCV with a black end on the Braided line.

And the paint doesn't match because I didn't have time to clear the UIM.

But it's all getting re-done for NE, if in fact I bring it.

Right now I'm leaning towards bringing the Quad.

Oh, is it a Summit AN fitting like I did my Camaro with? I kinda like that better than the plastic crap I have. I was thinking about converting to EVAC rather than PCV though....keep all the crankcase crap out of the intake!

[Asylum]

That is the next change I think. I too am not all that thrilled with all that crap going back through the intake, and then just put a breather on the rear (right now there is nothing in the rear).

Alright so i Just realized you have black interior? Is that factory in a beretta? Looks very good either way.

It was a factory option in the old style (87-90) and for one year with the new style (91). The Z seats I have were never available in black. I got custom upholstery. There are more pics in this thread somewhere, but it's probably 20 pages back. haha

[woody90gtz]

So I decided to paint it red...against popular demand. hahaha

Here are some of the progress pics I didnt post. Shows the vacuum and EGR delete.

I also pulled all the fuel injectors and not a single one leaked with the 60psi air compressor test...so I still have yet to find the source of my rich problem. I would have it back together running right now if I didnt have to wait for an injector o-ring from Napa tomorrow. I tried a 3100 injector o-ring and it's just a tiny bit smaller than a Multec-2 o-ring...enough to leak when I tested it with the key.

I got my Autoprom the other day though, so I can start to tune it myself. I've been in touch with SuperDave going over possible reasons why my car could be different than the 40+ that are running on that same memcal he sells. Haven't really found anything yet.

14.6 @ 93 MPH!

MAYBE!

$3000 puts you in the 13's. (I have the AMEX bills to prove it!)

Rodney knows this tune and he keeps wanting to mess with it!

I just sit back and let him do whatever he wants, BUT I don't trust him on messing with the shift light!

Did you use jb weld to fill in the vac and egr ports?

[99GaGT3X00]

Did you use jb weld to fill in the vac and egr ports?

with access to the tools and machines he has i hope not. i dont know if i would trust JB weld filling a hole that big.

[woody90gtz]

Old man, I trapped 93mph with this engine attached to a stupid auto with 2.93 gears, log manifolds, and a stock throttle body...it will be better than that this time around!

JB Weld is the crap, guys. Yes that is what I used. And no, I didnt have access to anything better. A TIG would be nice, but from what I read, TIG welding cast aluminum is not for a novice. And I found countless people who had success with JB Weld doing the same thing I was doing.

I don't plan on forced induction, so I wont get laptop warnings about blowing the JB Welds on my intake!

[99GaGT3X00]

i suppose if you let it cure properly the JB won't go anywhere. i used JB along with clamps when i got the flowmaster years ago and i couldn't get the pipes off the muffler a few weeks after i put it on. was trying to put different tips on.

all i did with that was paste it on the pipe before i slid it in the muffler.

Don't get me wrong i have used my fair share of JB Weld. I would be afraid of it coming loose and getting sucked into my engine.

I tried the gorilla super glue on an old UIM that i had which cracked from the un-even spacers i had before and that held pretty good and i couldn't get it to separate.

hahaha you will have to program that screen to pop up right before you cross the end of the 1/4 mile and do your best Paul Walker shut up and slam the laptop shut.
