As things have it I stopped working on the turbo and finished off some of the body and paint. After many hours of primering and block sanding the car from the firewall back is in paint...finally.. :-) I have changed the turbo setup a tad, now using twin T3's, and twin intercoolers from a SAAB 900. Am at present working up the manifolds using 3/8 mild steel plate and 1 1/2 dia sched 40 cast weld ells (ideas from www.sdsefi.com). I lowered and laid back the radiator 15 degs and 1 inch, now both intercooler outlets combine into a 3 inch tube over the radiator directly into the TB. Still need to aquire a set of injectors but other than that I'm progressing, now shes in paint. Will post updated photos to the site soon, thanks, Bob Ward a.k.a. SATURN5

Kettering, ehh.
Maybe I'll see you at Kilkare or Muncie.
Who knows maybe Dorothy Lane some Fri..

 

Dorothy Lane.......... that wouldent be the place that guys end up late @ night "talk" about cars is it?

BW

 

Bob,
You got it, I've been down there a few times. Although I haven't had the car down there to talk to anybody, just been down there for school.

Some talk, some do otherwise. <g>
Woodman and Dorothy on a Fri night brings out some really nice cars.
Amongst some of us there is also some serious discussion of chips, and what does who. Not as good as a EFI POWWOW, but can get interesting.

 

Yeah I live just behind the gov't center. Seen many nice cars over the years, tho I kinda skipped looking this summer... Get too many ideas from Fri nights..and is directly responsible for the Malibu having narrowed bumpers,shaved handles and locks and third gen mirrors...I tried the GTA dash but it just didn't look right.. ;-) Bob

The "otherwise" is what I was more thinking. we have a road here that is known @ "the short track" & then there is "KVR", but neither of these places have any talking other than, "you ready?"........... "you ready?"

btw, I dont goto either of those places much any more, got WAY to much to lose. We have a track semi local (For now that is)
