Demond0d5 Daily Driven Project

Cool.

[demond0d5]

got the bags/struts out today which was fun considering there is no way to get to that bolt that holds them on the bottom with anything other than a ratchet...and when you put any torque on it to break it loose the whole damn assembly moves...ended up putting the jack under the hub so it wouldn't move. also got the drivers control arm out, passenger's has to be cut of course cuz the bolt is rusted in tight...battery on the sawsall died before I could get it out...should be getting everything put back in on the 26th, gotta wait for the bags to get here from cali =/

Laid a bit more fiberglass today since I was able to get more resin earlier...not much else I can do without getting it on the car...but thankfully I should be putting the bags/control arms back in on Christmas Day =D
Pending the arrival of my parts of course...

looks good

Was having issues with the cable on the passenger side jumping out going into 2nd and 4th so I hot glued it down...hopefully that'll hold it in place because I don't want to use anything stronger so it's still easily removable.

Got the car back on the ground and my buddy at dodge is gonna help me run an alignment tonight once they close =D

Next step is to find some new tires for the 17's that are a little narrower so I can get those back on!

WarmSCSI spent over $50k IIRC trying to get the supercharger 6G72 to work. He went through multiple engines blowing and numerous headaches. I believe he finally went turbo and never looked back. I remember because I was here to see it all, IMO don't even waste your time with it. Go turbo if you want to keep your 6G72, or do the 6G75 swap. You'll be happier in the end.

What's the issues with running 5psi...I'm not trying to be the fastest, hell I'm not even trying to be fast. I just want to get it in and make it work, even if the performance gains aren't "worth it" or the most optimal for the money. To me it's more about saying "I have this and I did it"

I want something I can play around with from time to time and work on in a few years. If I start getting the itch for a serious build it would be a 4cyl turbo setup...possibly AWD swap and a lot of fab for a 2 door...idk

I just can't see what the issues with the sds are that are so crazy you can't have a modest setup. The air coming in is going to be the same if it's from a supercharger or a turbo, so the engine is a constant variable. Only difference is how you make the boost as far as I see...sds will have the parasitic loss as Justin talked about but also "no" lag...

(Yes I took all the tape off before putting it in, left the top on to prevent contamination)

i just noticed that ure runnin 2 batterys... why?

[demond0d5]

Because I have a 5000watt system and 2 air compressors...I have a high amp alternator that does the job just fine but if I ever need a little extra juice for the subs when cruising around (say the headlights, AC, air compressors, etc are all on) then I have it.

I also run two batteries for the same reason. Where did you get your alternator? You have a link?
