Anyone with Good Ideas for Stickies....

[Shirl]

Let me or Viper know.. I've been busy at work, but when I get a chance I'll post some new info. Maybe pully swaps, fuel system upgrades, ect. (Seem to be the most common questions in here). Let us know if you guys have any ideas and/or info! [img]smile.gif[/img]

How about one about the ebay blowers?

Or the TB / PCV / Breather mod?

How about approximate hp limits of some of the stock components on V6 f-bodies when using forced induction (and some common upgrades).

For example on the 3800

stock: 22 lb/hr injectors ~211 hp
upgrade#1: 24 lb/hr injectors ~230 hp
upgrade#2: 36 lb/hr injectors ~345 hp(needs tuning)

stock MAF: 170 g/s ~221 hp
upgrade LT1: MAF ~450 g/s ~585 hp (needs tuning)

stock fuel pump: ~200 hp (but only about 50,000 miles)
upgrade: Walbro fuel pump ~750 hp www.racetronix.com

stock automatic 4L60-E ~360 ft/lbs
upgrade: 4L65-E ~400-425? ft/lbs (needs 3800 bellhousing&tailshaft, other?)

stock head gasket ~350 hp?
0.074 MLS head gasket ~450 hp? (and lowers compression to 9.2:1)

Anyone free to chime in if you've reached the limit of a part before these guestimates.

^ that is good..i recommend the things Shirl said..commonly used supporting mods (fuel pumps, TRCs, BOVs, etc) and a description of the JD power wrap with a diagram [img]smile.gif[/img]

[blackFbird_98]

how about recommended mods that should be to to upgrade from 6psi to psi and so on [img]smile.gif[/img]

[Shirl]

K, got the breather mod up there... can't remember who to give credit to on that (if someone can provide the name, I'll post it up). I'll look into the other stuff and maybe you guys could post up some sites or info also. Thanks!

[1DangerousV6]

also..James came up with this one in the nitrous section..everyone posted their kit and what they are using..what shot level..etc..its a good idea if you want to talk to someone who is using a particular setup you are interested in..maybe a post where everyone posts what THEY use..boost level, intercoolers, pumps, BOV, TRCs, dyno numbers, best ETs, etc..eh..i'll go start it up [img]smile.gif[/img]

Cool. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Maybe I will draw up a John_D wrap diagram...if he doesn't beat me to it. You really don't need it...but some new folks seem to get sorta scared by the simple pics that are out there. It can only go one way once you run the belt from the crank directly to the ac pulley...but a diagram is probably a good idea. I'll try and get on that 1Dangerous.

a thourough detailing of injector upgrades would be niee....part names, brand names, what fits what without modification....etc. Like what RGB has suggested but with part numbers, etc..not just performance limits.

We already have the fuel pump swap guide on here as a sticky somewhere don't we? I seem to remember some problems with people trying to figure out which pump to get...two choices of Wahlbro 255's or something like that....?

I think Viper is all over the Fuel Presure Sender installation fittings for the fuel rail schraeder valve. That would be a good sticky. Simple but very helpful.

For the powerdyne specific crowd...the John_D wrap diagram as suggested by Dangerous and my overview of the Grooved Pulley vs Smooth pulley. (it is also a guide for removing and swapping pulley.)

Good luck with the stickies Shirl. Good idea.

Yes the diagram would be nice, also a diagram of the manual tensioner location. That's goona be my install problem # 2. Why not put a diagram of the rk sports kit, and the location of parts? I know I got mine used with no instructions, and the mcanda's great but not a tell all. Just my .02

[grayman]

Shirl,
The "m" in .htm link extension for the 'grooved vs smooth pulley page is missing.

[1DangerousV6]

yeaha diagram of the tensioner assembly would be nice too..i had a hell of a time figuring that one out because none of the instructions have great pictures of it or FULLY describe where to put all the parts..as far as the JD power wrap diagram..i think theres one floating around here somewhere..i'll take a look for it..i personally would like to see an injector page too [img]smile.gif[/img]

Regarding original author of PCV bypass:

I beieve Riles to be the author of the original 'Vented Throttle Body' mod. (drill holes in the side of TB and plug the PRONT PCV hole in TB) At least riles was the first and only website I ever found that had a write up on that mod.

I have know idea who came up with the 'valve cover breather PCV bypass mod' (block the back of TB PCV port and install valve cover breather) But everyone (veterans) seems to know about it.

John_D belt diagram now added to my John_D Power Wrap Page.

It is a major work of art so please: No Smoking and No Flash Photography in the Viewing Chamber. Thank You.

the only proplbem with this is..... every car is differnet and most of the nubers you posted are not right

330 has been done on stock injectors, no it wasn't making max power there but it was done

also some have more then 36# i have 57# and linx has 60#

stock MAF: 170 g/s ~221 hp
upgrade LT1: MAF ~450 g/s ~585 hp (needs tuning)
