Thirdgeners, would you help me to fill out this excel spreadsheet with different TPI motor combinations / setups? If you send me the information I will roll it up. Personally, long term, I would like to document the successes of these TPI setups on the thirdgen.org’s Technical Articles page just like the information on cam shafts. I have seen information/spreadsheet on the web for carburetor setups but nothing for TPIs. Would you guys help me to create this?

Updated spreadsheet with the first thirdgener response:
1. Shaun - aliceempire - Thanks!
2. TPIVette - Thanks
3. torqueaddict - Thanks

Who is NEXT ?

Pm dyno don, kevin91z, 1989gtatransam, vincentz28

Or search for posts by these guys

 

The Cali guys have some impressive TPI cars.

 

You may want to check with watajob too. I think he has the peak numbers on his signature so a dyno sheet may be available.

 

New updates today and I will PM those guys. Thanks for helping

Cant get in the file

 

Let me know an e-mail address and I can send the excel file straight to you.

I was able to download the zip file. Maybe you need a zip file software, there are free ones online.

or

Here are the items from each column of the spreadsheet. If you send me any of the information I will input it. Also, let me know what you think of the format/columns. Just trying to create a general cookbook if you will for TPI motors so people have an understanding of the potential of a TPI if the right combines are chosen. Hoping if I get good input and format, maybe a member will add it to the tech section of this forum.

Making progress:

247.5rwhp and 333.4rwtq SAE corrected



Here is a list of the differences from my previous
-T56 swap
-SLP runners
-built 3.08 10 bolt Locker
-Hedman Headers and Y-Pipe
-Mufflex with Magnaflow Muffler -
-CS144 Alternator Upgrade - http://sethirdgen.org/cs144.htm
-Heated 3 Wire O2 Sensor - wow, best idle improvement.
-255 Walbro fuel pump and racetronix wiring kit
-minus MSD 6A digital - have to send it out for repair

While fixing a head gaskets and intake leaks plan to do a few upgrades hoping to get free HP and MPG.

Netted 36.1 rwhp 17% and 35.1 rwtq 12% improvement

 

Well, you've been busy. Sounds like a really nice ride now.

 

I am hope once I install the 3.73 Yukon gears in my garage it will be a nice ride.
Then once I rebuild the original 160,000 motor it will be a great street car, only if I could figure out the motor combination, that was the reason I tried to create this string. LS? TPI? Miniram? Procharger? Turbo?
