Stage one of falling off the wagon
4 Attachment(s)
After having the Radix and swaping it out for a couple of different turbo setups then going back to N/A and slow as hell I couldnt take it anymore, not to mention I dont really think there is a therapy group for power adicts.:chug:
I started stage one of my project today. Me and my son and a buddy of mine got busy tearing her down this afternoon. Pulled the heads and cam out and in the morning I will get everything ready for their replacements. :devil: Only hicup was cutting the shit out of my finger ( probably could have used a stich or two, but that is what that glue crap is for ) and one of the rocker bolts was on so tight I broke six sockets before making a run to sears to get them replaced and buy an impact socket in the right size to get it off without breaking another one.:bang: Here are some pics. Stage two of the build to follow when I get a few more parts together, and get some stuff back from Rick and the coaters.:secret2: |
If my wife gives me a son I hope he is into helping me out with my projects like that. Looks like a good setup so far. Cant go wrong with AFR's.

so what's the dill pickle?
I didn't even know you got rid of the turbo! whats next? |
I had some issues with the tune and an oil leak at the drain that I could not get rid of. Turned out oil was seeping through the weld on the bung I had welded to the oil pan. I got annoyed and once I started to get things together for the swap on my 90 model I pulled the turbo and was planning on throwing it on there. I put the long tubes and true dual three inch back on with a cold air intake. That lasted all of two to three months before I was jonesing for power.
So I decided to put the turbo back on, with some changes to the oil feed and drain. I am also getting a 3.5 inch down pipe with built in cutout from Trick, 4" exhaust, the set of 225cc AFR's from above, a LPE GT2-3 cam for now (close specs to LS6 cam and it has been sitting in my closet for a couple of years now ), and I am getting it tuned locally. Should be lots of fun, and I cant wait to feel some power again. With a stock long block and 11#'s on a way too rich tune ( 10:1 at full boost ) I was running 12.67 @107 with 2.0 60' times. I want to try to get her into the 11's cause I cant have those boys from Arizona showing me up too bad when they come down here in December!:poke: More to come when I get back at it in the morning. |

Hey Grippy what did you use to clean your pistons up after you pulled your heads. I know its in your thread, but with 200 + pages and me needing to get some work done tomorrow I dont really want to go through the whole thing again.
