Long Awaited Turbo build...

[ALLOY GT]

how is spool with that .96

 

[JeremyH]

Start making boost in 4th gear at about 2600rpm, fully spooled by 3200. Not great but not bad either also i have shorty headers which hurt spool a little. At 75mph on the highway in 5th gear cruise set, started going up a hill and it made 1lb of boost, thanks cruise control! lol

[08nastygt]

You see that silver car at :32 in that video??? Damn that thing looks good



Car sounded badass last night, the open wastegate was loud lol. Get that oil restrictor!!! How did it feel on the way home last night?

 

[Greg Hazlett]

The one with the tranny in the passenger side?

 

[Mike Rousch]

BTW Big Thanks to Mike Rousch at Midatlantic Performance! He did and awesome job on the tunes! Startup, idle, and driveability are perfect! Not to mention good safe a/f and timing when the boost hits! Thanks Mike! I can hear the cams now more than ever before too!

No problem man! Thanks for letting me get it squared away for you

that air fuel looks a little lean wouldnt you think high 11's low 12's

That is exactly what it is when the car is in boost.

The one with the tranny in the passenger side?

HAHAHA

So when you going on the dyno Greg? Eddies should be going on soon as well. Should be interesting! I need to build a damn motor SOON!

 

[07 s197]

Haha, i had that thing loaded down. Felt weird driving next to a auto trans

 

[Greg Hazlett]

Mike-we plan on finishing mine today, what times are open on Saturday?

 

[TonyN]

The manual probably felt like shit. Kinda like a mans wife seeing him driving around with a new girlfriend or something. "This is what you are replaceing me with..huh huh?!"

LOL

Hopefully Saturday if Mike has openings...Jeremy and I are planning on finishing mine today, have to wire the i/c pump, the IAT to the MAF, get fluid in the i/c system, fluid in the radiator, oil and then fingers crossed it starts and we have no leaks.

I am nervous since the cams have been swapped, UD pullies removed and the Vortech installation so the chance of something being wrong is magnified.
