I never post on here but I thought I would share my junk! Car is a 83 trans am. It has been 9.43 @ 151 with a 1.55 60 foot. That was with a 80mm BW turbo. Car has a 355sbc, no intercooler, unported Edelbrock Vic Jr. heads, solid flat tappet cam, CSU blowthrough carb and now it has a GT4788 turbo on it and a Dart Lil M block. It just made 970WHP with 25 pounds on the dyno. The car is not a show car but I have not missed a race season or a cruise season in over ten years. The car including the whole turbo set-up, motor, trans, cage etc was all built by myself and my best friend! Thanks for looking!

Here is a vid of the car on the dyno two weeks ago!

HAHAHA I just read my signature, that tells you just how long it has been since I made a post here. I have had three turbo set ups since I had a nitrous motor in the car!

 

Las years motor pic!




On the street this year. I also own the 63 Acadian in the pic. It has gone 11.68 with a 235 drag radial.

 

2 questions......

Does that Giant Knock retard guage ever come in handy? lol

How much fuel pressure does a setup like that flow?

 

That is not a knock retard. It is a timing curve retard. It tells me when the msd box is taking timing out of the car once it has built enough boost to do so. The base fuel pressure is 7.5 pounds. There is a 1 to 1 boost reference fuel regulator that adds one pound of fuel pressure for every pound of boost so 25 pounds of boost equals 32.5 pounds of fuel pressure!

 

Thats pretty cool. So the MSD box will pull the timing on motor to allow the boost to come in on top of it. Seems fairly simple. I am using an XFI where you basicly lay the whole timing map out on a grid.

 

we have nearly identical motor setups... mine is a 358 with unported victor jr heads. 232/236 hydro roller cam, vic jr single plane with efi. its slowly working its way into the car now after sitting in the corner of the shop for 7 years.

what are you running for head gaskets?

 

nice! how's the down pipe run? how consistent is the car

 

3...2...1...
Lift-off!!
...
Nice!!

The dog came running in to see what was happening!! Lol!!

 

The car is consistent. It consistently runs way slower then it should. We will see what happens this year. I change have changed a lot of suspension stuff and we have far better track prep at our local track now. The down pipe runs under the motor mount. We notched the stock k member and from there the exhaust runs undereath the car like the normal 4" pipe routing!

 

Sick looking car! Those formulas make a sick looking drag car

 

Do you have any pics of the downpipe?

 

Down pipe pic!

 

thanks man! it didn't click that you're using a motor plate though....lol.

is that a 60mm jgs wastegate?

 

Yes it is!

 

Nice set-up dude, some what "simple" for what it runs - I like it!

 

Nice!

One of Manitoba's fastest street cars right there!

 

Car went 9.19, 9.17, 9.15 and 9.06 @ 153 over the weekend for the win in Limited Street! I was told it was not a consistent car....I guess things have changed!

 

nice!! how did the 60's look?

 

Solid times man - very killer set-up.

 

60 was 1.44 on the 9.06 and between 1.46-1.48 for the others. I was leaving soft! Lots more to go there!

 

Very nice!! Is this your car also? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rskTF...ture=endscreen

Mark.

 

Yes!

 

lol, what is the story on that?

 

That is a huge car show/fun driving event that takes place in Brainerd Minnesota. It is called Powercruise. That was me getting second in the powerskid competition. It is basically a comp to see who can do the longest burnout without hitting the brakes at all. There is also a dyno comp, drifting, streetracing, car show and cruising all on an the Brainerd road course. It was by far the best three days of my life! It happens again this year from July13-15 and I will be there again!

 

I have been building a single turbo car, I like what u did, very nice

 

Nice car!

 

Very cool no doubt... Always a fan of the formula body style myself.

 

Very nice setup. I miss my 85 TA.

 

Awesome ride
