Turbo time....

Re: Turbo time....

Im still running 12.5 psi of boost. So its not to high. I dont plan on turning it up. Id just like to play with the tune a tad as its still rich down track. The afrs are about 10.9-11.2. Id like to see 11.5 and see if it picks up.

1.62 60 ft times?? That gotta be a fun rush off the line.

The rear end has alot of good parts in it but im sure that the old 10 bolt still wont like lower 60s. Sure dont wana break that right now... Unless I use the antilag or up the boost I dont see those 60's getting any lower then they are now.

Re: Turbo time....

Got the passanger header made up today. I still need to get the flange on there but the center to center for the ex ports are dot on and level. There was alot of grinding here but they are sealed up tight and look ok. Will look better with ex wrap though...lol But compared to log style headers these puppys will flow a ton better at those higher rpms.

Re: Turbo time....

Making some more progress on the pass header, the merge, and such. Still a long ways to go and lots of fabbing but its getting there.

Re: Turbo time....

Well im into a hybrid 3.1l/3400 build currently on the Camaro. I will be honest Im tired of the old boat anchor iron heads.

I have all the parts I need and have been working on it here and there. I just need to have the 3.1L bored and honed out, get some pistons/rings and hang them. I still need custom length push-rods. I also need to start working the DIS conversion. The wiring looks pretty straight forward so hopefully I can get this whole combo done by spring or early summer in time to hit up the track.

I don't think that wanting to make some 12 flat passes is unobtainable once I dial in the tune and get the trans in order. To be honest I really am aiming for any 11 second passes regardless if its a 11.99 or a 11.70 but my goal is just to knock off .5 seconds or so off my best of 12.88 with the iron heads.

Ill update as the progress continues.

I wish I could go turbo but Cali's gay smog laws won't let me :(

Re: Turbo time....

Thanks!

Im just waiting on a reluctor wheel as the one i made was a fail and did not work as i wanted. But after that this car should be running and ready to tune and tweak. Latest pics including the ring im waiting on.

Go with Supercharger. It's easier to remove and return your car back to stock.

The only problem though is that you can only do soft tune, instead of tuning it properly with HPT, because the smog shop will pick that up that you've tampered with the computer.

California SUCKS big time.

I used this one on my 3500. Works great! http://britishcarconversions.com/com...category_id=28

Re: Turbo time....

Basically what I got now. Works great and finally started it up the other day with open headers.

Got somethings to do still but its on its way.

All the 3400 parts are from a 2002 impala that i had.

Thankfully im in ohio. I love turbos much better then superchargers but thats just because im familiar with them. And you can basically bolt it up to any engine so its pretty simple in my mind.

Im running tunerpro on my car. I have HP tuners also but sold the GTP i had that i was tuning.I hated that those HP programs because of the cost....:mad: OBD1 is good on some cars. I love my 7730 and code59.

Re: Turbo time....

So was the intake also from the 2002 Impala?

I'm thinking about switching to that. I really like the look and it probably makes the car breathe better.

Re: Turbo time....

Yea the heads, intakes, valve covers, the DIS ignition, cables...exc are all from the impala.
