What!? Am I the only one not using turbos? DAMNIT someone find me some turbos!

 

TBI eh, is that an aftermarket item or is your 87 a late year 87?

 

Will it all fit under the stock hood?

Dante93, is that a T for Texas or a T for Tennessee?

Steve

 

88 trans am, l03
in my
87 Iroc...... dont ask, long story

 

HOw are you tuning this? What are the specs on everything?

 

I second that. What is that black thing in one of your above pics. It doesn't look like a turbo to me. What kinda of exhaust manifold are you going to run? BBS?

 

I think its photoshopped. the black thing looks like some kind of a water pump to me. Is there any real way to tune a turbod L03??

 

Looks like a couple of heater blower motors to me.

Steve

 

Come on, you being in CLinton SHOULD be able to distinguish the two!

Its a TN "T". I live in Idaho now but grew up in Knoxville... moved away in '98.

 

I think its about that time:

 

That is what I was thinking.

 

Arent you the one not too long ago asking how to mod your motor for under $500. Where would you get the budget for twins if you couldnt afford a set of heads?

 

yes i was, so? budget ? i could fork out tons of money if i wanted but i was not welling to spend more then 500...
besides who likes spending hard eard money aways? lol

 

blower motors

 

Wanna play? You gotta pay...

 

Yup and as the old saying goes "how fast do you want to spend"

 

How true!!!!

 

because we all know the first step to a twin turbo swap is to read up on the speed limiter removal for TBI equipt fbodies ;p

You would think you would just tune out the speed limiter, since your gonna hafta tune a hell of alot for turbo..

btw in the first pic they barely look like turbos and seem to be sitting on the engine hoses and brake lines, in the second pic it dont look like a turbo

 

I think we all know that this is not going to happen

 

Looks like A/C blower motors to meh...:werd:

 

I swear if these guys would spend have as much time working as the they do thinking up these hair brained ideas they could afford a real TT setup.

 

There was a TT third gen on Horsepower TV awhile ago, they didn't do anything with it, but it was in their shop. Had a purple-gold Kamelion paint scheme.

 

That was a TPI car IIRC.

 

I would love to Turbo my TransAm but I wouldn't know where to begin. Every mech I talk to in town all say the same thing "turbos are for imports, muscle needs a supercharger!!!" blah blah blah. My L03 is stock so I think I would need to do some work to it before it gets boost.

As for the pic..I look at it and I see nothing. Try getting a better angled shot of the engine bay

 

umm, lol,if i put a leaf blower perpindicular to my hood drill a big hole and blow air into the bores could i say i have a custom blown tbi car...
nah better stick to stickers and chrome go fasters. i know if i can just get my dad to let go of that flowmaster sticker ill hit the 15's.....

 

i saw a mustang owner actually rig up a 1.5hp Toro leafblower to his intake.... no info about better performance, but i did get to laugh pretty hard...

 

i saw that stang too, the guy claimed 10-15 HP increase. I could see it happening, no matter how you put it, it is forced air but how ******* could a person be. Pretty soo, we will seeing people hooking up shock vacs and air compressors to their car lol.

 

I dont belive you cant use the word r e d n e c k

 

The admn. of this site has some very strange ideas as to what constitutes profanity.

 

I believe this might be the TT Thirdgen.. I saw it on this site a while ago..

I don't think its the one from TV, but allegedly this beast is pushing like 1100 hp if I remember correctly. Its a dyno queen.

Although that is a turbo 3rd gen it is not TBI and a far cry from the desing of NEEDforSPEED's method of boosted induction.

 

Oh I know, I read someone mention that they saw a turbo charged thirdgen.. I know that isn't TBI or anything near NeedForSpeed's car.. I was just showing it.

I apologize for wasting bandwidth

 

yeah this guy has problems i think, ime attempting to do a single turbo installation on my 350 tbi motor, but i am actually going to do it, t7/.84 garrett p trim, bbsd serpentine headers turbonetics waste gate with hks blow off valve. allong with great induction and injector mods and a new marvelouse varying adjustable fuel pressure regulator. i have the money, going back to florida on the 30th, then it begins. wish me luck...

it was either that or a supercharger, but i think ime set on getting a turbo, with upgrading (maybe change of injection) the possibilities are endless. i wana hit 450hp, and i think i can do it!

seriously thats wierd, starting a post about a turbo tbi, everyones like 'wow man i have got to check this out!..' and it turns out to be some dwad holding up a blower motor,

'yeah dudes, ime going to double twin whammy turbocharger''

'oh yeah? any numbers yet??'

'uuuuhhhhh no, but my air conditioning can freeze my nipples now..'

 

what FMU are you going with, as near as i can figure, there are non of the off hte self units that will give the needed fuel/boost ratio. the vortec super FMU may do the trick.

Turbos are going ot be somewhere in my cars furture. But with as many projects as i have going, and the lack of funding, it will likely be a long ways down the road.

 

Comedic gold right there! I'm one one that posted about one on horsepower TV.
