good too see an update i liked the build thread at the other shit hole.

[lsone_chevelle]

I love and hate this car all at the same time. Engine/suspension/brakes/car is pure tits.

The crappy megan seats and the defis do not fit the car one bit.

Just my $.02. Also, not much of a fan of the wheels either.

Thats perfectly fine. Thats why there are so many other companies on the market. To please people such as yourself and myself. I think the wheels go great on the car. If I had some more coin the wheels would be powder coated black in the rear aswell. But I roll based on my paychecks. Not a visa with an unreal limit.

[PhilStubbs]

too small of an exhaust housing, get the fuck out of this thread with that shit. ask in general discussion.

why didnt i think of that? make a thread to ask him how his turbo spools, BRILLIANT!!!!!

[crxvtec91]

Love the car glad to see it still running!

[lsone_chevelle]

how does that turbo spool? i am trying to pick a turbo for a v8 and i am lost. i am thinking single turbo on the smaller side for a chevy 350 cause it will be for a truck to tow my racecar.

Full boost by 3400.

I'd do a 67mm or 70mm. Masterpower t70 or a turbonetics t67

your absolutely right. cragers amongst many other 60-70's era wheels can be had for pretty cheap. I think I paid like $200 for a set of craigers that needed some polish at a swap meet. and I know you could probably have 2 full panels of NICE autometers for the price of those defis/sensors. And the seats...some factory buckets would suit me.

again, I love your car, just those few little things that bug me.

[bigdaddyvtec]

Only thing that bugs me is that it has too small f a turbo on it...  :yes:

thanks for the info, i will go a little smaller then. i have no plans of revving it much over 5k and i want power right out of the hole

I would do the t3/t4 turbo from a t-bid manual trans. There available and work well on lower boost applications and the spool fairly quick.
 .60 intake
 .63 exhaust

T-bird didnt come with a t3/t4 hybrid.  In fact, no car came with that hybrid turbo period.  The Garrett turbo that came on the tbird was a 60trim t3.

There was talk about 2, or 1 larger single. Either way gonna change the piping up me thinks. More front mount style.

[bigdaddyvtec]

S510.

[lsone_chevelle]

cragers went out of style 20 years ago.

i think the z06 wheels look kinda cool on that car.

oh come on man!  Cragers never go out of style, they are synonymous with classic..  Its like saying "Blowjobs are out of style, Rim jobs is where its at."  Its apples to Rim jobs dude, totaly different.

Looks like I am going to be at a Dyno day in Red Deer on Saturday. It is at Canada Custom Vehicles. You should drop by with the chevelle.

rawr, since he deleted his account, wishes me to point out that you are a fucking moron and Craigers couldn't accomodate those brakes.   I suggest you agree with rawr and STFU, or he will sign back up and send you gay porn.

That is all.

(not to hotrex this thread)

kinda cool fits the statement well. I also mentioned "many other wheels" in my statement

idk, maybe if the car was painted or something.

To each their own. I think it looks deadly with the black wheels and massive brakes behind them. Fucking cookie cutter Boyds, American Racing, etc etc. If I had the budget they would be Forged race line of wheels. But at 1500 a wheel minus rubber.... No thanks.

I will swing by. I know a couple employees. But the transmission is only good for cruising and minor bag session. Dyno's sketch me out when its a strictly horsepower only setup especially with it on the way out. No computer to tell me what my line pressures are doing or slip = not cool.

[vtech]

Fuck that shit, go find somebody who rebuilds converters.  If they know what they are doing it wouldnt be a big deal to modify a stock one.

[vtech]

you could just get it re-stalled but its not gonna be nearly as strong.


u wanna sell the 4l80 my roommate is looking for 1.. Hotrod power tour is gonna suck in a 3 speed lol so he wants either a 4l80 or a gear vender and the 80 is alot cheeper..

[Cadracer]

I have been looking at the  4speed gm auto and or put in a manual 5 speed there i know what gear im in..

What type of trans controller do you have?
After last weekend at the track my stall converter is rattling inside when i idle. Put slight load in gear it goes away and no the torque convert bolts arent loose i checked already.

We've run stock stalls rebuilt and they usually net 20% slip on the top end. I'll pay the cash for a Neal Chance converter. Built around my car and my engine setup.

On a buddies twin turbo ls mustang, a off the shelf stall was 19% slip on the top end. 9.8@144 if I remember right. With the new converter from Neal Chance the car went 9.52@148. Pretty nice gains for changing nothing else and 6-8% slip on the top.

[Joseph Davis]

For a thousand dollars I want more than three tenths and four mph.

[Robb]

Links please.  Ive seen stock converters (ford mind you) run low 6's in the 1/8th for multiple seasons. 

Converters balloon from idiots jacking the pressure to the moon on "built" transmissions with a redrilled valvebody and shimmed accumulators.  The aftermarket supports what people think they want, not what they need.

But hey, if you want to spend the $$$ its your car.

For a thousand dollars I want more than three tenths and four mph.

Couldnt a few more pounds of boost accomplish this sir?
