Well…here it is.
lookin good. Now paint that valve cover
^That and welding up my charge piping are next on my list.
Here’s my set-up.
gm-8 turbo (.70comp/.60 exhaust)
no name external wastegate
log manifold
dsm 450’s
Johhny racecar 6’’ intercooler
custom charge piping
stealthmode oil lines
dsm bov
half rad w. slim fan
Chrome base map (tuned next week)
open down pipe (muffler comming tomarow)
how much of the bumper did you cut?
^Alot. that was the most time consuming thing. There’s not much bumper left.
where are the slim fans at? Did you use one or two? Looks like you kept p/s did you keep a/c?
I’m thinking I might hook up my turbo kit here very soon, I just need a few more parts.
can you post pics of the inside of the bumper?
no a/c condensor makes me think that a/c is gone. I see a p/s hose so I guess you kept that.
that is onnnne crammmped engine bay…
dosnt look to bad tho im impressed yu left yur battery in there.
In one pic the slim fan is there but you cant see it. some of those are old, the engine bay has been pressure washed now. My fan is a 10’’ permacool 1250cc. No a/c ( car never had it) , I have p/s but the belt is not connected. I’ll try to post some inside bumper pics, but if your cutting your own bumper its pretty easy to see what needs to be cut. The engine bay is cramped right now but i’ll be doing some cleaning, and that battery is going to the back.
looks good… what psi are u running?
^10 untuned (i can only safely rip 1st and 2nd gear) 15psi tuned.
looks like that would be fun! 15 psi should be even better! good work
I hope 15 psi lasts on stock internals
How many miles are on that motor to hold 15 psi???
Is it still running ok?
are u insane? if u expect to get any life out of the motor, u need to run a safe 7 all of the time. setting it at 15 with ur daily speed cruise is gonna be hell on ur motor. might as well just toss some sand in the valve cover if ur gonna beat it like that.
why can’t he boost 15 psi?:blah: :blah:
Everyone thinks 15 psi is to much. The motor has 206,000 on it, I’ve been beating the hell out of it for like a month and its fine. Although I’m putting a motor w/ 106,000 on it it next weekend just to freashin it up.
Update us on that please…
yo should be fine at 15 psi, i was running 14psi on a 57 trim turbo stock internals and 219000 miles! for about 6 months beat on it every weekend and some week days it did great, i sold it to my friend and hes had it for 8months now still running good…just get a good tune!
