Got the ati balancer in, didn't realize until after I installed it that their pin kit is unique to their balancer, so I pulled it back off and ordered their pin kit. Power steering pump will be here this week. I have the a/c belt and main drive belt already. Will be measuring for the blower belt after I pin the crank and reinstall the balancer.

Still need...
2013+ a/c condensor
Nw 102 throttle body
Fuel system with flex fuel sensor
Converter restall

That will complete my power part of the modding and I will move onto suspension and finishing the exterior.

That part will include

Sway bars
Pfadt lowering springs
Offset delrin diff bushings
Vfn copo hood
Zl1 front bumper
Front welds and runners to match the rears
Window tint

I might swap the seats out for the zl1s to make it an authentic clone. Time will tell
Thanks to everyone following the build

So I got the accessory drive 100% finished!

Got all the belts on, the new a/c condensor on(since the zl1s and 13+ ss cars were electric power steering, I had to add a small power steering cooler since the factory one is in the condensor)

Got the new holley valve covers on. They look much better than the factory ones.

Ordered the zl1 engine cover.

Got the autometer cobalt wideband and boost gauge in the mail, along with the a pillar gauge pod. Will be trying to install those tonight and get a picture.

Bought a bunch of power braid loom to clean up the wiring.

Bought the npp rear diffuser and will be ordering the corsa zl1 catback with tax return $$$.

Was just down at cincy speed with a buddy yesterday and hot to talk with the owner (craig), super nice guy, and pick his brain on a couple questions. He wants me to bring it down on a full tank of e85 for the tuning of the flex fuel setup. Next update, the car should be running and heading to the dyno!!!

Ps- sorry for the cropped pics, phone auto rotate is broke lol

So I got the car all done! Been driving it around a lot lately on the old tune. Car goes to the dyno this Wednesday!

The last couple things I need to do.
Run a switched 12v to the flex fuel sensor ( already pinned ecm and connected to sensor)
Put rear seat back in
Change switched 12v source for gauges( I tagged into the trans controller and the controllers power light flickers and puts it into limp mode for a couple seconds)
Install 102 throttle body ( going to do this when I get to the tuner)

That's it!!! Nothing compared to what I have done!

Well not quite what I had in mind today. Drove the car 2 hours one way to the dyno and the trans slipped on the dyno pulley combo made 19 psi in the datalogs lmao. So now trans needs rebuilt, converter needs cut/cleaned. And a new trans cooler and lines. Also going to buy a pcs 2000 trans controller, not really feeling my fast controller anymore.

At least I was able to make the drive back and not need a tow!

At 5400 rpms it showed 71 lbs per minute of airflow, to give you an idea of what it would have made. That was on pump gas also. Never got around to the e85

So jakes performance stepped up and is giving me a good price break. I'm going back to a standard valve body. Upgrading to their stage 3 trans with the rebuild, they're cutting and cleaning my converter plus tig welding the fins and doing shipping both ways for $1350. Definetly cheaper than I thought it was going to be.

Is that the gates HD belt? I used one and i have not thrown any more belts. The big whipple tensioner was too much for it.

Yes it is a gates hd belt.

They got my trans in friday so hopefully I'll get it back next week. I ordered the pcs 2000 trans controller and harness from pace performance. Hopefully I'll get that next week as well. Then it's back to the dyno. It's definitely going to be back up faster than I thought it was.

Going to start on the wiring of the new controller this weekend

Got my teams and converter back today. Got it all put in and put about 30 miles on it. The Trans tune is going to need a lot of work but it feels good to drive it again. Wednesday I scheduled to get the windows tinted. Going to so 15 or 20% on all the side windows and rear. And 35 on the windshield.

Going to change the Trans filter and fluid again tomorrow. Have the dyno time scheduled for the 25th (next Wednesday). I've got a lot going on with it, but hopefully, it's at 100% now.... time will tell
