dunefreak Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 so as you can see from the pis its coming along any thoughts on what we should do next? 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andydew Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FE135 Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob-and-katie Posted October 24, 2010 Author Share Posted October 24, 2010 i have caps for them i do like the carb set up but boy did it cost me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barefoot bob Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 is it just me or is that alot of weight on the end of that exhaust like that for bouncing around in the dunes ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob-and-katie Posted October 25, 2010 Author Share Posted October 25, 2010 Yes but I put a thick down support straight to the frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320 Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob-and-katie Posted October 27, 2010 Author Share Posted October 27, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
