Finally getting stuff done on our cars - Page 30

Pushit2.0 · 10-10-2007

I took out the dash and every wire that was on it, shaved about 40lbs. Next to go is the stock stearing wheel and install my Grant I have at home. Then I just need to finish running the few wires in the car to control everything. I am using switches and relays for everything. I still need to clean up the gauge holder and make the mounts but you get the idea.

I love how the boost gauge goes to 100psi. That's just crazy funny

I plan to rev untill the motor stops making good power, and after I shift its back on power again(full boost). So I might or might not have to rev to or past 10k.

Just get it running for the dyno day, keep boost and power down until you get all the bugs worked out, then let'er buck! Wonder how much power that turbo will make at 20psi

I have 23psi springs in my Tials, so I think 25ish will be my min boost. I plan on running atleast 35psi to start, power should be in the 6xx.x awhp range at that boost.

perhaps if the tune was half-way decent then it coulda made the power ass-fuck!

That is not a wise bet! The old motor with a crappy 60 trim, was at some times launched at 8 or 9...I can't remember. All I know is I was sure the flywheel would be sawing thru my pants as soon as John let the clutch out.

Video of the car idling

I am sure you rember this also. "Watch the boost gauge, it should say 25."

He never left.

I didn't have any specific pics in mind, It just might be fun to look at it, how about a pic of whatever you are working on right now.

also, was it hard to get the dash out with the cage in there?
