Re: WarShrike's Project Thread - V6 Firebird

With a 5 speed it's 3300 rpm doing 85.... bit high for my liking. But the 6spd is 22-2300.

^Thanks!

Just build up the parts pile over time, it's amazing how much can accumulate if you buy a little bit here and there spread out over a few months.

Spare cylinder heads and the aussie/holden intake manifold are shipped off getting worked over.

Finalizing the spec on a single turbo setup, should make things interesting in a year or so...

Re: WarShrike's Project Thread - V6 Firebird

Are you going with stock valves or going bigger?

[WarShrike]

Re: WarShrike's Project Thread - V6 Firebird

bigger

[ssms5411]

Re: WarShrike's Project Thread - V6 Firebird

What size valves are you going with?

[WarShrike]

Re: WarShrike's Project Thread - V6 Firebird

I think 1.85 intake, can't remember on the exhaust. Having John at WOT-Tech size it up how he sees fit.

Re: WarShrike's Project Thread - V6 Firebird

I went with the Manleys from Intense and their pretty good.

[WarShrike]

Re: WarShrike's Project Thread - V6 Firebird

Yup, manley is the valve set we're going for as well. Steering waay clear of SI.

[ssms5411]

Re: WarShrike's Project Thread - V6 Firebird

Yeah I had a set of SI valves and after reading about them, ditch them for Manleys.

Picked up my roller rockers that I won off pacefabricating's e-bay auction. They're purrdy.



While painting some wood stuff in the garage, I sticker-bombed my tool chest. I felt like I was in elementary school again.

It looks like 1.6.

[WarShrike]

Re: WarShrike's Project Thread - V6 Firebird

Yup, 1.6's. Not much of an issue since I'll be going with a custom cam on the next build.
