Re: ZZ3 Turbo Iroc - Round Three
Awesome. Good luck.
There is a thread on here of a guys build that was running TPI also. He ditched the TPI and gained 150hp on his turboed setup by going with the different intake. Could of been 75, but i think it was 150. I think i saw you in that link. Knowing that much hp will be gained by swapping, how come you dont swap??
Cant wait to hear that the fuel issues are resolved.

Re: ZZ3 Turbo Iroc - Round Three
Up until this year I've been trying to keep it as stock as possible. Now I'm willing to do a whatever needs to be done to get it faster, but I insist and carrying the stock TPI intake into the 6's first. At some point I will have to visit the LS vs Gen1 argument again. Not until I break the rear and trans again and upgrade to heavier hardware.
Took it to lunch today.. let it heat soak for 1 hr and boosted a few mins after restart to a lovely 10.4 AFR at 16 psi again! Very good sign, but way to early to call the cows home with this car as you all know. By the end of this weekend we will know.

Re: ZZ3 Turbo Iroc - Round Three
Still love the car with the tpi intake. More people would talk about this than an ls swap. And It would easily go mid 6's with the right trans/converter/rear. At 24psi the power will be there easily.
I think if I was to swap intakes on this car it would be a miniram or superram. Just to keep it looking vintage.

Bro don't get disheartened over things.
You can build a 9" for 2500 or less.
Ebay is your best pal when it comes to saving for one. Buy you a Moser 9" bolt in housing/axle package with 31 splines. You can get a Strange nodular center section housing for 250 to your door with the 3.062 bearing which is more than enough for what you have.
Buy all of your gears, posi etc online through Ebay. I recommend the Detroit locker over the Trutrac personally because your car is more track oriented. The bearing kit and gears you can get through Yukon is cheap but rugged and I know if those gears can withstand off road rock climbing high hp engines then they can handle bursts or drag strips here and there as well.
I am total agreement on the forged bottom end. You can get a Eagle 4340 forged crank off the Bay for under 500 plus some killer h beams cheap also. For pistons I recommend Probe factory performance series with the 2618 alloy. Hit up Skip White for a deal on them through his White Performance out of Kingsport, TN.
Hang in there man! Your almost to where you want to be and there is no reason to give up over it, heck just park it for a while and relax.. No reason to let it get to you, that takes all the fun out of it!

Wire up a toggle and turn the second pump on when cruising. Or right before u jump on it just to test .U should be able to turn on the second pump rigjt at 1 psi without issues

Re: ZZ3 Turbo Iroc - Round Three
Second pump on may spike pressure and like said that ve region may need adjusted.
Happened to me, car leaned out too fast before pump turned on for some reason. Think it was a 4 psi hobbs.
When i added my hobbs for 3rd pump i had it set at 22 psi since i shouldnt need fuel until after 24 psi. Well dyno showed lean so i brought 3rd pump on closer to 17-18 psi

Re: ZZ3 Turbo Iroc - Round Three
I have been following you on youtube since the almost the start of your builds and I am always eager to see your updates. I just love watching your videos on the iroc and your attention to detail is great. There are many hacks who build cars but you seem to plan and excite things after much thought and consideration for the final goals. I just found this and will have to catch up.
Im glad to see the fueling problem is looking more positive.
As with everone else here, I have had the LS/SBC argument with myself numerous times and just cant decide. More because to this point my mods are all SBC related and if I went LS it would be like starting from scratch....not to mention the originality thing.
Sorry to get off topic, just wanted to check in.

Re: ZZ3 Turbo Iroc - Round Three
Thanks Camaro1185. It has certainly been an interesting experience to build a car win or lose with the world watching every detail.
So far the fueling has been looking good. I need to finish the fuel pump project by building a cover and put the carpet back together properly. Hoping I will find a dragstrip open in the next couple of weeks and see what she will do. One is open tonight but I had other plans.
Have to agree about the LS stuff. My headers would be the biggest sticking point to stay Gen 1... but then again IDK. The flow numbers on LS3 heads vs almost any Gen1 aftermarket heads sure grab my attention. Time will tell if one ends up in this car.

grab a set of the assualt heads , they are proheader castings and can go over 300cfm with just a lil bit of porting

That said they do work well for budget and boost.
My friends 408 lsx with big prc heads made 1091 whp this weekend on 20 psi or so. C16.
My other friends stock longblock 6.0 with L92 heads made 1052 whp on i think 25-26 psi, E85.
2 vastly different setups but very similar power but one alot more budget oriented
If you go ls, under or at 1000 hp, stick to budget type stuff. Seems to work great. If you want more power go 6 bolt block lsx because you will have a hard time keeping things sealed with stock oem blocks. At this point sbc vs lsx is about same price

Re: ZZ3 Turbo Iroc - Round Three
I've been trying to sort out what would be my next step as well, whether to go budget LS or build a nice gen 1 sbc. It's a sucky boat to be in, on one hand it makes a lot of sense to go LS for "mild" hp numbers (under 1,000) like Orr said since an engine can be had for so cheap. You gotta step back and think how awesome it is to be calling under 1,000hp "mild". It's a great time we live in for playing with cars. On the other hand, a turbo LS is so common now that you are almost more "original" now to run a boosted sbc! I really hate the idea of starting over with making headers, re wiring everything, changing cold side, throttle cable, and all of the other little details again, but I still think it'd be cheaper than throwing thousands into a boost built sbc. At this point I'd almost rather pay the price for the expensive sbc components and a dart shp block than have to re-engineer the hot side and all of that. Maybe I'm getting lazy as I get older, but it's just not exciting to me redoing what I've already done. Maybe I'll save the LS build for my next car.
"First world problems", haha.

Re: ZZ3 Turbo Iroc - Round Three
I am still undecided what route I will take sbc/ls but I know it will most defiantly be controlled by LS pcm.

Re: ZZ3 Turbo Iroc - Round Three
maybe they will lighten up on some of that stuff next season. none of our local tracks do tech, but they enforce helmets and roll bar at 7.50 and quicker. they run shadyside year round as long as its above freezing. (they use a bucket in a water barrel to wet the waterbox, and i've seen them breaking the ice in there to get water) lol
meanwhile, maybe you could experiment some more with the car and get some dyno time with more boost?

Re: ZZ3 Turbo Iroc - Round Three
I would go with a 7865 or 7675. Depending on what you are looking for on3 now makes one that appears to use the same turbines as the turbonetics stuff. for like $400. I wanna say the turbonetics is like 1300, that may be BB though. I dont think I would recommend any precision turbo after reading about all the failures. I cant even count on one hand how many TT builds went feom twin 62mm precisions to on3 turbos bc they are cheaper then rebuilding a precision.

Re: ZZ3 Turbo Iroc - Round Three
Few guys around me making steam with on3. I am surprised lol never thought something that cheap would work so well
I got one for my 305. 70mm. For a 350 i'd try their 76 but the smaller p trim style hotside will limit power. You should have a slightly bigger turbine. On3 maybe larger options i am not sure

Re: ZZ3 Turbo Iroc - Round Three
I have a Turbonetics TC78 (7868) on my setup and it hasn't given me any issues, aside from the fact that I put a very stout 412 in to replace my 350 since I couldn't get head studs to seal up in a stock GM block, and now the 68mm exhaust turbine is WAY too small! Torque peaks at 3500 rpm falls off pretty drastically after 4000 rpm lol!
That being said, if space is available I would very seriously look into the Borg Warner units. They are awesome pieces, durable, and relatively inexpensive! They're just physically really big.
I'm currently trying to figure out how to fit a bigger unit in my setup, I'm gonna need a minimum of an 85mm wheel on the hot side though so as not to choke out this new engine!
I agree with your concerns about Precision, as I have been reading about a lot of issues with them lately, since one of my top options for my setup is a PT88...
The new Turbonetics 7675 and 7875 are sweet units, and I think you can do better than that price on eBay. Check with Yates EFI and/or Huron Speed and see what they can do for you!

Re: ZZ3 Turbo Iroc - Round Three
i hate reading that stuff about precision while i have a pair of their turbos yet to be ran... eww.
i would also suggest looking into one of the borg warner turbos if not a precision. very good bang per buck. garrett is always good of course, but might be a bit more expensive.

Re: ZZ3 Turbo Iroc - Round Three
Thats still slight restriction with the area/geometry change in the housing. But stock motors def struggle over 4000. It should pull but power is wayy low at those rpms
I've taken stock L98 to 6500 by accident once. Trans downshift manually lol. It revved but certainly wasnt making power

Re: ZZ3 Turbo Iroc - Round Three
let me know how well that on3 turbo works out , im torn between a pair of t4 ptrimed gt3582's , or a pair of on3 66's , i hate to buy from that guy because hes a douche and a half, but i have plans to buy a new kx450f or rmz450 to go desert racing with this year, so the turbo budget is going to have to suffer
