alluminum Corvette heads on TPI - TPI - Third Generation F-Body Message Boards

madmax · 01-23-2002, 01:53 PM

Nope, its never been done before.

kevinc · 01-23-2002, 02:23 PM

Yup, done it here. Engine specs are on the link in my signature. And yes, I like 'em! Still able to run 89 octane on the street without running up huge knock counts, plenty of low and mid-range pull, and great (29+ mpg) gas mileage.

I should have polished the ports and chambers before installing them, the castings are really nasty and probably costing me some efficiency.

Does anyone know what the maximum valve size is that can be put in the L98 heads with some effort? Thanks

afgun · 01-23-2002, 03:27 PM

HOW did you manage 29 MPG ??

I run them currently on my L98 in stock, unported/unpolished form. I use 92 octane (haven't really experimented with lower octane) and pull about 20 MPG. Are you using HFM/HSM ?

However, I'm pulling mine soon to install new heads/intake/cam.

vortech305 · 01-23-2002, 03:50 PM

hmm since i had mines ported and polished i cant really say if i felt any increase since it was the first time putting it, I like the heads on my 305 TPI , believe it or not im saving more on gas on my motor now than on my 3.1 v6

6-speed manual trans and a nice, steady 65mph cruise with highway mode enabled in the PROM.

Ran a set on my last 357. They ran good with the stock tpi. times in the sig. I also got a best of around 20 mpg. But this is with 3.73 gears and i can't keep my foot out of it.

madmax · 01-23-2002, 09:00 PM

You can put any size valves you want in there. Realistically, most people stick to 2.00 on the intake and 1.60 on the exhaust so theres not alot of work involved in putting the bigger valves in. It wouldnt be that bad to put 2.02 on the intake but everything I've read says that requires replacing the valve seats.

vortech305 · 01-24-2002, 09:25 AM

come to think of it what are the cc in a 88' vette alluminum head is it 64 or 58?

1MeanZ · 01-24-2002, 10:09 AM

aluminum vette L98 heads are 58 cc that is why they work on a 305

89blackbird · 01-24-2002, 08:50 PM

I paid for a set last month on e-bay and I guess the dirt bag is keeping my money and my heads. E-bay has not been much help yet. I did pay with a postal money order and the post office tells me it will fall under mail order fraud. I will get this guy. I will not give up 461.00 for nothing. Beware of this guy he goes by NRGZ28 or apexdigitalz. I sent the money to Edmond Indre of Las Vegas NV. Recently see on his feed back he's got another guy for 250.00 for a set of tires. Watch out guys.Becarful on e-bay. This is my only bad deal so far.

rezinn · 01-24-2002, 09:40 PM

Funny max. I've got a set of those heads on my 305. Running 13s on the gtech but we'll see come next saturday. Mine are ported and polished with crummy headers and very stock intake. Hopefully more cubes are in the future if I can afford it.

blackbird, if u still can't get this guy go to turbobuick.com and go to their classifieds board. I guy by the name of Joe 1320 had a problem with a little pissant from Chicago that stiffed a lot of turbo buick guys out of quite a bit of $. Well Joe did a process step by step and get him and just about everyone's money back. Check out the thread, its a sticky thread at the top entitled "Anyone know Joe Cipola?"(that's the scumbag that dicked everyone) Hope this helps

fly89gta · 01-25-2002, 12:46 PM

oh and LOL!!!!! @madmax

89blackbird · 01-25-2002, 05:31 PM

Thank You guys. I will stick with this. The guy on the phone says I have the wrong number . We will see. I am 43 years old not some young kid who is going to get ripped off. I will hire a detective or what ever it takes. I think my company can swing that.

89blackbird · 01-25-2002, 06:30 PM

UPDATE; eimail address is not active, Phone number is no good. Thanks for trying. Anybody know this guy? Is this a young kid or something?

madmax · 01-25-2002, 06:41 PM

Yea, he is a kid. Used to post here, but I think Dirk banned him. Was also using the name Synergy or something like that.

Acceld Z · 01-26-2002, 01:16 AM

I believe he screwed someone on a chip burning deal as well. He's got a black '92 Z28 with red heritage stripes. Max, are we talking about the same guy?

wataru · 01-26-2002, 01:49 AM

Yeah thats the guy.

89blackbird · 01-26-2002, 08:46 AM

Somebody has to stop this guy! I will give it my all. I think I have a surprize for this boy. He has picked the guy this time. I have all the right friend is all the wrong places for him. Anymore information will help. Whats up with the 3298 northbrook way , orlando fl. 52641 address??? This guys car is regestered in NV. Been there already. He may enjoy getting pulled over everyday

Kevin91Z · 01-27-2002, 12:56 AM

You can also check out the Las Vegas F-Bodies site at http://www.lvfbody.com/ He denies having ripped anyone off, of course.

And yes, I have L98 Corvette heads on my car.

89blackbird · 01-27-2002, 08:49 AM

Thanks.E-bay says he is a rip off.They have kicked him off user name apexdigitalz .I have a money order receipt.Does he have proof of shipping?????He's an a-hole and the law will have final say!

u r sofa king we tah did · 01-27-2002, 11:01 AM

keep us posted on what happens. i wanna hear what happens to this a-hole.

89blackbird · 01-27-2002, 12:39 PM

Don't worry I will. There will not be a car club or web site I will not contact with his name. This is bull **** and it must stop. I have had several people in the Vegas area will to speek to the NV police if need be. I am still gathering info for the NY state police to contact them with. I will also forward it to the FBI mail fraud unit and have them take a look. There is an internet divison which will ask e-bay questions and e-bay shut him off at this point. I will not give up. It is a personal thing now! I WANT MY MONEY. I even had 2 guys tell me how to find him week ends. South West 99.00 speical.

u r sofa king we tah did · 01-27-2002, 02:48 PM

yeah i think we should all buy a ticket while they are cheap and just show up at this guys doorstep. id love to see the look when he pissed his pants! i dont blame you at all, theres no way i would let 450 dollars just get stolen like that and then let the little fruit cake get away with it. hey, isnt it convenient that i have a vacation to vegas this summer....

89blackbird · 01-27-2002, 03:55 PM

If push ever comes to shove I will go there. I have people e-mailing me where to find him. They basicly hate this guy out there.One way or another I get 461.00 worth.

89blackbird · 01-27-2002, 04:00 PM

anyone interested in what this ******* looks like check this out.(http://www.truspeed.org/Members/Chev...ctures/ed6.jpg) I contacted the club.lets see what they have to say about a member who rips other off ??????????
