Mike, A pair of those .96 A/R T4 turbines are never going to allow the turbos to spool on a 302. One is probably more than enough for a mild 302. [imo]. I...
I haven`t posted too much on this list, so I`ll give you some background. I have an `83 TC that I have installed a `88 TC motor, complete< and now have some...
With a post like this, the potentials are so vast, you have to start at the beginning, just like in auto class. Begin by verifying engine condition with a comp...
Its amazing how much it takes to drive those pulleys isnt it?Figure if it gained 10 at the wheels then your talking probably 12hp at the crank that those stock...
Wow... so those are .96?? I have a HP Performance Turbo Kit on my 89 LX 5.0 but it all came as a kit and I dont know that much about turbos. My buddy with...
I'd still like to know why everyone insists on toe IN on a FWD car? My brother argued with me friday night about that on the Taurus wagon We were replacing all...
I'd try adding an additional 0.1-0.2deg of camber on the drivers side as well (for weight compensation) If after you have eliminated everythign else as the...
Alignment mechanics can be lazy Changing the alignment can be a royal pain Getting repeatable measurements can be a pain. There is ONE shop I've ever had work...
Nearly every FWD car I've seen has neutral or a little toe out as well AD, helps turn in on a nose heavy push-monster FWD setup. The 3.8 does go up hills, if...
I got 20 hp and dropped a tenth at the track dropping the serpentine belt before the run. I wouldn't do it running nitrous though, hehe. That was on my 88 5.0....
Mike, The auction states .96 A/R T4 turbines. They look like standard Garrett on center housings, but the wheel trim isn't listed. It "might" be standard "O"...
... It's been a while. I generally don't post unless I can maintain a current discussion, which is hard to do when I'm averaging three months behind......
... come ... I'll probably try going in that direction later today. Last night I tried a few more things just to see what it would do. I swapped tires side to...
... heh, funny, that's what I do with the other list since the signal to noise ratio is so high that if I really kept track of it I would do nothing else. -...
no, most people are making more power with the CSU one, the Turbonetics one is kind of short. Jimmy In a message dated 1/31/2004 5:34:57 PM Central Standard...
I'm far from an expert but it occured to me that the wastegate may be open and boost isn't building until high in the RPM range. You didn't mention boost...
I don't know much about T04 turbos but I had a look in the Turbonetics catalog for the fun of it. In one section they say a 300-350 motor can use a T4V1...
Jimmie/Mike, The "54mm" comp wheel is not a standard Garrett wheel, at least that's what the seller told me. I'm looking for a mate for a new V trim, .60 A/R...
Does anyone have any experience with smog equipment? The question could actually be phrased, "If I cut all the smog tubes off the heads and catalytic...
Depends on the car. I'm using megasquirt, so there is no need for ANY smog equipment. ... could actually be phrased, "If I cut all the smog tubes off the...
Thanks for the reply. Seems as tho there`s plenty of boost ( haven`t hooked up the IC yet; The connector hose blows up like a baloon, at least 2X diameter) ,...
Joe, If you mean with the Ford exhaust outlet, no. The Buicks use several different bolt patterns, and they're all non-standard. The wheel "trim" is probably...
Did you buy that one off E-Bay? I have one at home, the exhaust wheel from a Ford will fit in the hole but I didn't size it up carefully. The mounting...
Jimmie/Joe, I have some '86/'87 GN turbine wheels, as well as a Ford .48 hsg. I'll see how it fits. I don't have a Ford turbine wheel to compare though. Dave...
I had bookmarked the Buick unit so I went looking for a Ford turbine housing so there would be pictures of each for you. Here are the two links. The cut and...
