here's my latest. I've been doing alot of fuel system and body work lately but I have sold my old ht3b and now have two t-3's for my truck (posted earlier in this thread). I know it's not an f-body but I do have one. been in the garage for a while. soo.... take a look

one more...

A work in progress.

WOW

I have not had the chance to open the big solenoid yet, only the
small one on the dyno.

From the rear

SB2.2? cool!

I like the dual 4bbl TB's are they the 4150 sized ones or the 4500 sized ones?

Im very interested in your ride
I want to se pics of the underside:

exhaust if any
tranny type and layout
rear end type and layout

Any video of it making a run?

Is that your daily driver? lol. It looks fast. But it
is it REALLY fast?!

I know, I'm a comedian. :lala:

Nice drag car! What's it do on the dyno? 700hp? 800hp?
What about the 1/4 mile?

819 hp on the motor, I will leave you guessing on the NOS !
I posted the dyno sheet for the motor in the Organized
Drag Racing Section.

heres my power adder

Here's mine

WOW! Nice lookin' 3.8 turbo.

Ok, I know that we are on the topic of POWER ADDERS,
but I thought this is power adders for just THIRD GENS!

I dunno dude, just said to post a pic of your power adder in the title

It's power adders in any car. Go back and look at some of the cool stuff that was posted.

Ok, thanks for clearing that up, I guess. I just figured
that since this is a third gen F body forum that you can
only post on topic stuff ( third gens only), that's all.
But if not, then that's cool too.

I could be an idiot! But who knows!

My work in progress

GOOD LORD!!!!!!!! how do you guys have so much time, money, and knowledge to pull some of this crap off??? o yea......anyone have any tips for nitrous, inm pretty new to it but would like a kit for my 305 that i can move to my 350 if i ever get one

Well, it's very possible. A co worker of mine has a wife
and a kid. But he still manages to build a T Bucket from
the frame up. All restored. He's even painting it himself!
I don't know how he pulls off everything (work,wife,kid,
and build hot rods and go bike riding!) I assume that
the wife does more of the TLC to the kid.

Also, with any project like that, it will take a lot of time
and patience to get it done. Even if it takes months
or even years. Some people don't care how long it takes,
as long as it gets done.

I believe that Summit or Jeg's sells a specific nitrous
kit from NOS that bolts in the same from to 305 or 350,
as long as it's TPI I think. I believe it's adjustable
as well from 75 to 125 shot.

I would like to post mine , but i don't know how. It's a custom nitrous set up that looses no hood clearance.


can i send it to someone to post here, or tell me how to do it ?

Send it to me I'll post it for you

this has GOT to be the longest running thread on tgo. I had marked it to send me a copy evertime there was a new post, and ever month for like a year and a half year i have been getting an email saying..

u know there is also a line under it that links u so u can turn it off right??

Here's a pic of my TT/Intercooled/Blowthrough setup:

352?

400 block, 327 crank, 6.0" rods? hmmm sounds familiar

Correction. It's actually a 353. Just a plain old .020" over 350. . .in a MoTown block.

yeah, but then i wouldnt get to see all these beats.

Nope. Just one of Doward's threads on the V6 board about turbocharging could take this one in its current state... and there's about 2-3 such threads.

Here's my $100 (60 of which is intercooler) junkyard turbo.

And the other side..

my DIY TT project. almost done...

For those of you who didn't see it yet, here is a recent pic of the TT L98 out out of my 89 IROC-Z:

Oops- here it is:

TechSmurf i see you had a very budget minded turbo going........how exactly did you accomplish that? it would be nice to add a little umph to the 305 for about 100 bucks!

so far ive invested less than $600 into my twin turbo setup; thats pretty budget minded, i think.

yes it is....but i seem to like $100 much better!!!

but if i had the knowledge i would take 600 and TT my 305 this summer....hopefully it will come when the 383 is done. damn that would be fast

Not something you're going to be able to pull off on a whim... I spent 6 months gathering hook-ups and calling in favors to pull that off. 60 of that went directly into the intercooler, the other 40 into misc connectors, pipe fittings for the oil, hoses, etc. Turbo, piping, and welding were all freebies.

junkyard turbos are prolly not the safest bet... most used turbos are abused and prolly outa an old eclipse

well yea but just a thought...id rebuild it anyway. but just for a fun little project then it would make the engine sell quicker

im in automechanics @ school ( my 4th year) ive always seen that you dont rebuild a turbo... is that just at a shop becuz of the specialty need to rebuild it properly... in a shop its usually R&R

Most turbos can be rebuilt fairly easily and inexpensively if you take your time to do it properly. The reason you hear that turbos should be rebuilt by a specialty turbo shop is because of the balancing, as the turbocharger can be spun up over 120,000 rpms. This takes very precise balancing to be perfect. When I rebuild a turbo (by rebuild a mean replace the bearings, seals and gaskets- there really isn't much more to them), I put paint marks on the turbine and compressor wheels and be sure to realign the wheels the same way they came off. This way the turbo should stay close to proper balance (provided it was balanced correctly before). The paint can then be stripped off with carburetor cleaner before reinstalling the housings. Turbo rebuild kits can usually be had for $70-100, and takes about 2 hours to disassemble, clean, and rebuild. So why not do it in the shop? How many auto repair shops rebuild starters and aternators anymore? Same reason they don't rebuild a turbo.

Here are the two on my girl's 1992 Formula 350

2

and this one Chris89Formula's 1989 Formula. LT4 HOT cam, Gforce T-5, 355ci, Edelbrock runners, SDPC base, 906Vortec heads.

I would post mine if it were together.......

What the heck..I"l jump on the bandwagon too. Not as fancy or expensive as a turbo of blower (I paid $175 used and its a cheater system adjustable to 250), but it gets the job done quite well:

Twin .60/.63 turbos
Twin Saab Intercoolers
42 lb/hr ford green top injectors
749 computer, $58 code

This is my new setup. Plumbing is done. everythings done..

<img src="http://members.cisdi.com/~anesthes/projects/singleplane/racetime.jpg" vspace="8" hspace="4">

F3M(reverse rotation) so I can mount it in front of the engine(like Ray Sanchez)

NICE turbo set-ups, I'm impressed. Here is mine.




Inside this.

Isn't there somewhere else you could be?
