you know nitrous never crossed my mind......

btw you still sellin those c6 wheels? for some fatters one? btw i saw some bmw suv with 325 wtf! that was awsome!

 

Steroids for cars.

 

So.....what will shrink in the car if it goes on the roids.... heheh

 

iv got the same setup u don't need the tall valve covers as they will interfear with the alternator and the windshied wiper motor. im useing 36lb injectors and a ecm from arizona tpi. dont have the motor done yet but am getting close any suggetions or tips u have to help finish this project would be apprieciated. this install allmost is getting to the point were its not worth the trouble.

 

u will have to use a throttle body from an 85 to 88 tpi camaro on the hsr intake. the one for an 89 to92 will not clear the fuel rail

 

nice ride do you have any pictures of the completed install of the HSR intake ? im tring to put the same setup on my 91 1le could use some tips if you got any thanks. my email address isshankymank78@aol.com. i hope to hear from u. My email goes to my phone so it is easier to use that form of communication

 

sry havt been to my comp in afew days,i have pics on my phone , pm me your number and ill send the pics thought text. just take your time man when your doing yours

my vavle cover did not interfear with anything, make sure you price everything out and then so you can know your budget , and then add a couple of hunder to it. for all the small things that you dont think about.

 

Thanks for the advice I've blown my budget out of the water as I have around 9 grand into this engine now I'm going to go work on it some more today before work. I have pictures on my phone too. My number is 1207-975-9663 can't wait to c those pics

 

I have Billet Specialties Tall Centerbolt Valve Covers which do not interfere with the windshield wiper motor, but did come in contact with the rear terminal tab on the STOCK alternator. I have purchased an MSD APS 160A One Wire Alternator which will just fit by the valve covers, as the rear terminal is a bit smaller and shorter than the stock size. But still just fits, I am thinking about trying to clock the alternator a different way since these alternators can be mounted in MANY different positions. Only thing is still getting the alternator bracing on the rear to work. Also is this really needed, I have no problem putting it back on, just wondering if it'd be okay without for a little while until I re-torque my header bolts after a nice drive.

 

The bracing was implemented because the accessory brackets are made of poor quality metal and will twist and shear eventually after prolonged use. Whether or not this happens seems to be hit-or-miss. Some folks warp almost immediately, others never have a problem.

 

You can use the aluminum brackets that came on all the gm v8 cars with a serpentine setup. That's what I have on mine. I believe some v6 cars used them too. And you can run it without ac or the smog pump you'll just have to run the belt Ia different way. If you wnt I could send u a picture of how I've got mine ill just need your phone number. I do all my work through my blackberry.

 

Everyone and their phone pictures, you guys are funny. I am looking to find someone to make me a nice set of brackets like March Performance, with an idler to get rid of these ugly brackets and remove my ac and smog delete permanently. We'll see.

 

so i blew my trans 2 days ago, or just the servos or somthing.... ughh so not cool anyways guess gona rebiuld it or t56 time? wich one?

 

any ideas?

 

Go T56, because you know you wanted to & you'd regret spending the $ on the T5 if you did.

 

Definitely go with the t56 much better trany. Hawks third generation sell the whole conversion kit for 2300 bucks can't go wrong with that. It way more fun to shift through the gears manually anyhow. Try to get the ones with the .50 sixth gear. You won't need to use it much around town but once you get on the highway it sure is nice to have. With stock 16 inch wheels,373 gears and the .50 overdrive your rpm at 60 will only be around 1400.
That what I'm doing after spending way to much to build my 700r4 I'm still not happy. Its got to go. Fourth gear in a 700 is .68

 

wheels : 17x8.5 front 18x9.5 rear, love the six spds (t56's) had a 00' ta for too long ( got 11k for it,with 13k on the clock) anyways i've been debating weather or not i want to do this swap ( not scared of having to drill holes or **** ( if i screw up then ill just have to lear how to weld) b.c I will then have 3 vehicals that are all manual

00 jeep wrangler ( picking it up monday)
05 yamaha r6
and then the camaro.... you know what i think i might just do that ....

o heres another thing I will be doing to it. going to pull the motor out and give it a better bottom end ( forged blah blah blah) and some boost. but cant do all that till i find a steady job. wich will happen soon. but that my next project...screw paint

t56
build bottom end
rear end ( dont think a stock borg warner 9 bolt will handdle alll that hp/tq
mabe some boost too?

 

So.....

Your gonna pull a fresh engine & rebuild the bottom end? Quit screwing around with your GenI engine & start a LS build, since that is what you want to do anyways.

 

so is this you volenteering to buy all my gen 1 stuff so i can buy all LS stuff? you know you wana

 

If the price is right..... (like to see dyno # results)

 

its gona be a slow build. but i will get some numbers after....uhhh soo much blahhh

 

So in the next two week my car will be getting the trans done,just waiting on a buddy to use his trailer/truck.

My guy that was going to paint it,moved out to cali so paints going to wait.

I want to get some goodies for the camaro just don't know what to get? any advise?

 

roll cage?

 

is it a good idea for a cage on a mostly street car? and don't really care about the back seat. but how many point cage is recomended? 6pt.8pt?

bump about roll cages and line locks and other stuff ? help me out tgo!

 

I guess you dont need it but ifyou ever track it and run 11.49 or better its required. I dont use my back seats anymore and love the cage in the car. Makes me feel alot safer driving it. 6pt is fine. 8pt just adds 2 small legs to the rear main frame and ties into the trans tunnel

I got the competition engineering kit in my car. Bought the kit and my buddy installed it so there was alot of custom cutting and fitting but overall it was a decent kit.

 

So I found this product called plasti-dip.... its like paint but comes off like latex gloves, and so the past two day when I had some time, I used the time to clean all the caked on brake dust off and started spraying them with some black paint. I did this rather than spending money to have them poweder coated, who know if I would even like pure black wheels too....I will post pics as soon as I get them back on my car.

I also have replaced my door lock actuators, charged my batteir and did alot of small things. I am making alot of progress and I will keep all you tgo-ers uptodate!

wont be able to do any work on the car this week end going to hyper-fest.com over the week end!!!! @ summit point raceway!

Their is more to update I just gotta finish my wheels while i still have daylight.

 

Ok, I'm back with some pics of after paint.... the during/and before are on my phone and I don't know where the cord is.So in anyways here are my plasti-dipped wheels.

 

now throw them on the car and lets see how it looks, i like the finish of the black

 

me too i didnt spay two of the center caps I wanted to see how it would look with abit of polish on it. No I will not do the polished lip! im going to get food and beer ill post pics of em tomorow when they are dry on the car!

 

No polished lip = they look like spare wheels, IMO

 

well mabe I like the look of spare wheels i have some top secrect ideas that no one will see till i post up some pics after their done.......only a select few know.

 

So I added some headlight fluid, but the cap got stuck so I used my left handed screw driver to pry it open. as soon as I filled it up this happend.....

she is floating!
are my wheels sticking out too far?



and black wheels!

 

i know very bad picture but this is the other thought




then both my vehicles... I miss my r6

 

you have conveted the camaro to hovercraft..............very innovative

 

HELL yeh!

 

haha, looks good, i think the chrome center sorta sticks out a tad, you should peel off the lip but not the spokes and throw it back n there just for ***** and giggles

 

yeh ive been hearing that alot that a polished lip would look good. I like the pure black with the black centers too.

 

im not saying it doesnt look good, but if it just peels off and you want to give it a try just mess around with it, put the polished lip and center, or vice versa.. not to sound like a teacher, but its always good to give other things a try just to see instead of poopooing them right off the bat, i dont mean that in a rude way i think its me being me curious more than anything. otherwise great job

 

I don't mind playing around with it. I am working on some top secret stuff that only one other person know about. till then the rest of you cats dont get to know lol but you all wiil see pics...

 

Great to see more from you on your ride.Love your work.

 

Thank you! I'm always exepting donations....it will make the build go quickers and you guys can see more pics faster too! and not wait super long for an update.

 

any updates or final decisions on the rims?
