So lets discuss turbos...

[10sec]

I'm going to lol when whatever turbo you get spools, and your 3.69's become useless. Have fun getting traction in only 3rd gear

BTW phatrides new turbo is very nice, getting 12ish psi on the line and spools very quickly. Not even close to being maxed out and the car moves the f-out. Kj's turbo is tit's as well... what are they? I have no idea, but they work very well.

 

[Yaj Yak]

lol seriously i cant imagine 369s... my car right now on my 18s with colder weather and 2.93s doesnt get traction until like 50-55 on a stock engine and only 12-13psi.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

I want turbo :sad:

 

[EmersonHart13]

Me too, turbo donations?

 

[10sec]

exactly, my m90 setup hauls ass now and my 3.29's are annoying, i can't imagine how much it was suck to be turbo. If i spray, forget it, on just a 50shot on my 245/45/17's a 60roll turns into a 90mph burnout. The stock wheels with KD's are a joke, it was cool and fun at first, now it pisses me off lol.

 

[EmersonHart13]

Maybe it is time to go the other way of the 2.93 to 3.29 change....

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

KJ you have 2.93s? I recall you having a bit done to your trans.

 

[Yaj Yak]

yeah 2.93s. my trans is quite simple actually. not enough done to it.

 

[10sec]

Yea, it's weak, stock chains FTL, trade your turbo kit for my stock junk off the DD kthx.

 

[Yaj Yak]

yeah no. lol. imma beef it up here soonly. then lets see how far e85 + stock engine + turbo kit takes me.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

8's.

 

[10sec]

I would say 11's, considering on a crappy tune you were trapping 109... I see with E85, good tune, a beefy trans, converter, 11.97@116mph on a nice tire of course.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

I need me two turbos, a better welder and a tubing bender.....

We will be pulling out V's ST2 some time over the next two months if your looking for low mile one this winter(shameless plug). Go with 130# springs if possible.
From what Im seeing your goals are, the t3/t4 would be fine. The headers will add a bit of lag to be a little more streetable with your gearing and you wont have to change a thing and add more cost to your new setup.

yaaaa let me know about the ST2 zzp seems to be sold out, but thats what my target is for a cam, gonna sell the rockers

T3/T4 will be a fine (as stated above) Full T4 is overkill for your goals. Do you have your mind set on a T-Series turbo? Have you looked into Garrett GT series turbos (IE GT3782 or GT4287? Or even Borg Warner turbos (S400 or S500 for some serious power)? Not to take any credit away from what people run on T-Series turbos, but there are other options. Precision Turbo has some great combination's and a lot of extras you can add to help spool up (IE billet compressor wheel and extended till wheels). Do your homework, see what best suits your boost, RPM and power levels. You said 15psi is your target boost level....what do you shift at?

hey brian, im just looking at my options... with the cam, rpms will be at like 6500ish for shifts, but the PSI boost level might be anywhere on the board

im gonna keep the trans in the car at least for a bit, but will upgraded to a larger chain in the spring or sooner

 

[The Broken Regal]

right now im going on another guy on the regal board and his mods and times which are right in line with my goals

hes got 3.29s, T66 and ST2 cam

on 18 psi hes running 11.4s @ 126ish iirc and a 1.8 60'

we should just buy that GMR trans and get it rebuilt by 3EP. 1500 and it'll be good forever.

then I'll take your 3.69's and get frustrated with no tracktion on the NAWZZZZZZ

 

[Handsome Jesus]

btw found 3.29 chain set for 200...

 

[shaferz]

I only trap 114-115 and I dislike my 3.29's. Its fun just for daily driving type stuff, but that it. When I went with my 3.29's it was right when Vogel was talking about 2.93's vs 3.29's on clubgp I believe.

Really wish I would have just stuck with 2.93's now. Live and learn I guess.

 

[Yaj Yak]

wait what gmr trans?

i dont know if i'll have a choice tho if I need a 1" chain for a turbo....

wait what gmr trans?

 

[Handsome Jesus]

its a zzp trans with GMR chain in it... every other hardened part too...

on cgp. need clutches and a going through I guess.

haha I'm concentrating on your car this winter kevin. mine is slow junk. genV only takes a weekend anyway.

 

[Yaj Yak]

whoa. that chain alone is close to a grand... wonder if he'd take a car on trade...

 

[Handsome Jesus]

hahaha would be interesting... I may be in possession of it soon, can't decide yet. it's up in milwaukee. road trip wouldn't be too bad.

he did send me a message saying this:

"it was slipping because of a combination of a wrong tune and a bad TC. I mad adjustments and it went away but I am not sure if it was in time before the clutch packs got damaged. I can drive around town fine and it shifts fine, just slips a little when its cold.

Dave "

soooo I dunno what to think of that...

 

[Yaj Yak]

weird...

 

[Handsome Jesus]

still 1500 is good for every hard part plus a convertor... too bad it isnt the intense input shaft.
