S197 BOSS 302 Race Car Build Thread Build Thread

Not directly...

Here's a video of one of the races from this weekend. This is raw footage that will be cut together to show telemetry and a driver camera at some point in the future. Some sloppy driving at points but I'm still just getting back in the saddle.

The car is going to be very competitive in the intended class next year.

Here is another video of the same race, from my buddy's POV in the #26 Corvette:

It really came out great, very professional looking. I have been avoiding reading this thread in depth so I don't get more ideas about more stuff to tear mine and more things I need to buy.

Everything is looking great. I am sooooo jealous.
I miss racing a lot. At the time, I was ready to slow down and take it easy. Now I look back and have no idea why I stopped. :

 

[ArizonaBOSS]

Thanks guys!

Scott I'm guessing you probably already have all the stuff I've got on my car!
Speaking of which, I need to crack open the breather can and see how much oil has collected in there, if any, after the last race.

... I told you last month... Spec197 is calling your name

... I told you last month... Spec197 is calling your name

Unfortunately I can't hear it calling because the mortgage, car payment and college tuition is calling so much louder!

Another note of interest to many of the track dogs here is that I did not have any CEL, Limp Mode, Misfire, or Over-Temp etc all weekend despite being around 90*F during the hottest parts of the day.

We're only at 1200' elevation or so down here but I think this is a good sign.

This is after installing:
AED Tune
CJ Pulse Ring
OEM Replacement Crank Position Sensor
FRPP Oil Cooler
302S Grille
AC Condenser Removed

Sounds good...less weight is less load...cooler engine...makes sense to me. 8)

Not sure if it makes a difference but since installing my new RXT clutch and CPR I have not thrown a single code.

Ditto no codes after CPR and O-ring......I think the O-ring's the fix but the CPR can't hurt either.

 

[ArizonaBOSS]

Forgot RXT in my mod list...that thing took a beating at the track with no complaints either. 8)

 

[Roadhouse]

The interior turned out really well. I like the AIM display and the dash switch plate.

 

[ArizonaBOSS]

Thanks! I think tonight I will finally have some free time to wire up the display.

 

[ArizonaBOSS]

Pretty sure I've completed this install save for GPS sensor, but I won't know for sure until the external communication cable arrives from new egg since the config file on the MXL is incorrect for the BOSS...

Also I have to install the oil temp/pressure senders but that won't happen until oil change after next event.

 

[ArizonaBOSS]

OK I got restless and realized I could just make the stupid cable here, so I did. It worked great! BOSS-R Config File now uploaded!





Unfortunately it looks like my splices into the CANBUS may not be fully functional, I'll have to try those again tomorrow.

 

[ArizonaBOSS]

CAN bus wire connections fixed...now we're in-business!
