So did you piss yourself with excitement? Is that what the small spot on the floor near the car is?

j/k, looks like a fun car. Those motors make good smooth power.

Nice! I'll be out Halloween weekend just north of bathroom 3. Stop by. I will have my rail this time, red two seater in my avatar.

sweet lots of new friends what should we bring to the camp party other than alot of trash bags.. we would like to meet as many people as we can as we are new to Dumont and want to make friends to go dunning with.

[rob-and-katie]

got the new scu blow through carb dyno is Tuesday Dumont Friday cant wait!

[andydew]

Lookin good!

Is that a T3T4turbo? I have one on my first car; same innercooler too. 8 lbs. of boost was plenty for my 2.0L; didn't want to run much higher and end up rebuildind her every season

I tig welded all the connectors to eliminate a few of my silicone hose unions; less chance of vibration/ blow apart under boost.

It really lookin good. Let us know how she does on the dyno. Your gonna love hearing it spool up on a good hill

[FE135]

Looks good, and should run strong. I do have a suggestion, can you rotate those exhaust ends downward? I can see them filling up with sand when your not driving. Or maybe you have a cap.

[rob-and-katie]

i have caps for them i do like the carb set up but boy did it cost me

ya its a t3/t4

Get video of the Dyno run if your there hanging around. Those are always fun to watch.

[barefoot bob]

is it just me or is that alot of weight on the end of that exhaust like that for bouncing around in the dunes ??

[rob-and-katie]

Yes but I put a thick down support straight to the frame.

I generally dont run without a wideband. On a carbed application, changing boost is hard sometimes. A wideband, egt, and water/meth system are all pretty good additions.

Heres a stock 5.3 with a t4......I did.....

and

I also built the red camaro in the last video.....that was about a year ago.

I d change out the aluminum an fittings for steal also. In all the offroad stuff, aluminum an fittings should be tossed out. Vibration kills em.....you can get hurt, kill a motor or turbo with just a broken feed or drain line.

[rob-and-katie]

so changet the t3 as we blew it up today stoped at 10 lb of boost here is the screen shot and ill posy vid later but 302hp and 240 tq at the tires 3rd gear at 6500 rpm ... not to bad for the first tune run
