Was that the one with stock rear wheels and fancy fronts? I saw / heard him roll in and commented that it sounded mild, but certainly not stock.

first run that happened...missed 3rd again

and justin, reading > me

it was a stock appaearing black 05+, didnt notice the wheels....had a front mount IC that you could just barely make out behind the bumper

project89 08-11-2008 06:30 PM

actually the car has an overflow can the hose came off,but when it did the overflow drained since the inlet sits on the bottom of it.I still dont know the reason behind it, im assuming it happened when i hit the rev limiter at 7,700 in the burnout box at 22 psi.
I did a compression test in the pits and it all came up good.This did happen once before on the dynoso im assuming i need to switch to copper head gaskets and o ring the heads/block
and the white mustang wasa kit not a homeade kit

.....because your overflow hose popped off?

project89 08-11-2008 06:39 PM

everytime ive hit high boost int he car its pressurized the cooling system. ifi keep it under 17 ish pounds it dosent do it.i was gonna come back and make a pass at 16#'s but the rain put an end to that.
just to be sure im gonna go out tomorrow and set the boost at 12 psi and install a pressure gauge plumbed into the cooling system keep uping the boost to see if its blowing compression/boost into the cooling system.

ive got arp head studs and felpro gaskets on it, and if thats whats happening im gonna have no choice but to get the stuff o ringed and run copper gaskets

Have you ever made a successful pass? Have proof? Last time you laid out claims like this it didn't end very well.

project89 08-11-2008 06:59 PM

actually i have,onlylow boost runs though to break in the motor, 16 psi on the dyno 2 times, and 25 psi on the dyno but the pull was cut short due to the the sameissue of the cooling system getting presurised.

and this is also no were the same setup from 3 years ago

damn... :drool:

project89 08-11-2008 07:23 PM

that whole header setup is made out of 316l and 321 stainless, witht he exception of the crossover which isjust heavy wall mild steel,and a mild steel 3 inch downpipe out to the factory location precat.

my large turbo the t74 runs a 4 inch downpipe out to the same location,we came up on the small turbo though 52mm

sweetbmxrider 08-11-2008 07:50 PM

got any pics of the lt1?

LTb1ow 08-11-2008 07:54 PM

LT1 Ftw~!

project89 08-11-2008 07:55 PM

no just picked it up last week, its currently in my shop apart receiving a turbo kit, nothing big just a single front mount gt45 at 9psi.
Though it looks liek i may be backing that down to 6-7 psi, im being told by alot of lt1 ppl that right around 9/10 psi is were they start letting lose.I dont want to have to do anything internal with this one.

ill have pics as i start getting it all together

LTb1ow 08-11-2008 07:57 PM

Stock LT1 internals? Pushing more than 6 is on thin ice.....

yeah its a bone stock lt1 im not gonna push this one to hard , i had a friend with a procharged lt1 running 9psi all stock but for some reason his fans failed to come on one day and he blew the motor.i just want something simple on this one im not gonna mess with it to much.
i have an ls1 longblock and a 4.3 vortec motor in my shop for the 89 for when i get tired of that 3.1, i just dont know which ill build for it.
If i had to do it now it prolly be the 4.3 vortec since i can run that motor on the mesgasquirt ems, if i wanted to do the ls1 id have to swap to an ford edis system which is not good for a turbo setup as the onlyway to do rev limits with edis is fuel based.My only other option is a full harness swap and hptunners,but the entire ms setup runs me 311$'s and i can tune alot more stuff then i can with hptunners as far as i know

oh yeah and 4thgen room = ftl
so much more room in a 3rdgen engine bay

JL8Jeff 08-11-2008 08:06 PM

Yeah, keep it under 6 lbs on a stock LT1. The ringlands are really thin on those pistons. I ran 4.5-5 lbs of boost on a Powerdyne for almost 5 years on my old 93 LT1 with no problems. I bought a 6 lb pulley but kept reading about guys taking out the pistons even at 6 lbs so I kept the 4.5 pulley on the supercharger. I think I put 40-42K miles on it with the supercharger so they can survive.
