lemme guess next ull attack how much money i spent,or as u being a dickhead would put it "wasted".

total cost was under 1,100 bucks complete as the car sits, not bad for an mid 12's car(yeah mid 12's with no other changes other then getting the afr from 10.0-10.5-1 back upto 11.7-1 were they belong and putting 2-3 degrees of ign timing back into the motor) that can go about 11.50's once the boost comes back up,and high 10's with the large turbo


had i actually goten a run in at island at 25psi like i had the car setup for u would have seen first hand an 11 second pass but dont worry im going back to e-town after the swap meet for my 11 second slip.

and u can bet ur ass ill have the video to go with it

But.... it hasn't gone 12's.... so it is not a 12 second car, nor a mid 12 second car NOR is it an 11 second car.... and it AIN'T going to see 10's with just a large turbo.

At this point.... according to you.... it went 13.0 so it is a 13.0 car. Speculating is stupid.

this is an inevitability of an anomoly....ergo....vis a vis......it's not delivery, it's DiGiorno

Translation, it doesn't cost much to run 13's but he could spend a bunch of money and get close to the times he claimed he was gonna run two years ago

Translation, the car didn't live up to the claims he made before, so he is going to make them again.


Face it man, no one is going to buy into all the smoke you blow until you actually get that thing down the lane is something resembling the ET's that you have claimed oh so many times. Theory is meaningless when it is time for action. Don't throw around numbers until you run them.

im so lost on what car we are now talking about...

like im not trying to be a dick, but
if its the 95 z28... should be in 12s with a single bank turbo even.
if its the 89 3.bum, then i have to throw down the bullshi card on you claiming only $1,100 invested. /that claim.

100 bucks for the turbo
50 for the wastegate
25 for the bov
headers made from spare tubing (free)
200 bucks in misc mandrel bends
311 for complete standalone system
150 for tq converter
200 in gaskets bearings and rings
150 bucks for the cam
25 bucks for the intercooler
and maybe another 50 in misc fittings

ok so 1,261 bucks

all machine work was free since i did it myself

lol i have one it just happened to have the line come off it at island
. i prolly pulled it off when i reached up under the front of the car to make sure the the clamps ont he intercooler pipes were tight.

turbo wastegate and bov were all brand new

theres nothign wrong with used converters, and the tubing i had for free was just all drops and unused and unused weld elbows.
the turbo/wastegate,and bov on the car ive been running for 3 years without problems

so really the only used parts were the intercooler and converter. and unless an interooler has a hole in it or is filled with oil etc it dont matter if the thing is brand new or has 150k miles on it it still works

so u can take that yeah quality **** elsewere

[NJSPEEDER]

Now you say it has been running fine for three years and only a few posts back the car had been sitting for 2 years, which is it?

You could save yourself a lot of the hassles if you would dispense with theories and great stories about parts pulled from trash cans.

thats all the same parts ive originally had on the car turbo wastegate bov intercooler etc

the shortblock and cam are new as are the headers

the car did sit for around 2 years once my daughter was born the car was pretty much parked at my shop,needed a better dd but the car still came out now and then but not a whole lot.usually just a cruise down tot he shore or something.

i havent run the car at the track again till just recently in the past 3 months

infact these pictures are form 3 maybe 4 moths ago






the engine sat on an engine stand for just over a year before actually making its way into the car

[project89]

first run mid 14
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-c0JsG2oL0g
put the car back away
then sometime later pull it back out and go 14.0
http://videos.streetfire.net/video/t...r-2_162838.htm
the just last week pull it back out and run the 13.0 with more tunning and and extra 3 psi

no changes to the motor or setup other then the 3 psi and tunning

[project89]

and the junkyard 2.8 i ran at island 2 years ago which was pulled 4 months ago for the new motor

Why not just get a real motor?

i have an ls1 sitting my my shop,dont have 5 grand to do the swap though
,though it may find its way into the lt1 car with a rmt turbo setup.

i am currently doing the rmt on that with the lt1 though was to much to do a reg front mount turbosetup on the lt1 way to cramped in the engine bay,i curse it everytime i want to work on it. 4thgen engine bay's ftl

the v6 rs will prolly never get a small block,having to much fun with the v6 in there,besides i got just about 32mpg with it on the way back from the nats and that was with the 4:10s and an unlocked converter.

at most when i max out this setup i may drop a turboed 4.3 vortec into the car.
but im gonna wait and see how expensive one of those direct injected 3.6 motors would be to drop in.though from what ive been told once u start making about 400 hp on those 4.3's u gota spend alot of money on aftermarket parts.and if thats the case i might as well just swap out the shortblock for a 3.4 v6 with a forged 3500 crank and a set of 327 sbc h-beam rods for much much less money

[Savage_Messiah]

Or you can go with a real engine and use a 3.8

90* > 60*

[LTb1ow]

Say what? Rear mounts suck. And just make your radiator vertical, lots of room then.

[project89]

rear mount may not be the best but its the simplest and the do make decent power.
Im not looking for a whole lot out of the lt1 car,and ive got parts laying around so i said fug it might as well turbo it.
rear mount will be more then enough for what i want out of it

[LTb1ow]

Well when you blow it, don't get another LT1.
