    xjarayax: do you have a parts list from your turbo setup? what parts did you have to buy, at what cost, where, etc.? The reason for my asking is that I'm really becoming interested in a turbo setup eventually for my car. Thanks. [img]smile.gif[/img]

    NICE RUN! Middle of summer, and a low-14.

      I do but if you want a kit you should look into Tiago's ForceFed kit.

        <blockquote>quote:</font><hr>Originally posted by Tiago:
        nice, the mph seems a little low though, could be from the misfires :D <hr></blockquote>

        What do you think the right MPH would be? I make my boost pretty high, and I was doing this like 7* of KR :eek: Intercooler, on, soon.

            Cool- yeah I think intercooler and the new injectors will take care of it.

            edit: and maybe relocate the downpipe so it doesnt bang the sway bar under load ;)

              do you know what's causing your KR? Is it related to the turbo in some way? Sorry about the amateur questions.

                It runs a little lean up top and its hot *** air. That's my explanation....

                Plugs are TR6s @ .035. I have a fuel pressure gauge on the way and I'll see what it's saying.

                Adding fuel and intercooler soon and I think it will be gone and running a hell of a lot better.

                  Wow, that's a pretty nice gain, especially without other mods :eek: . Fix those misfires and get yourself an intercooler and some bolt ons and you'll be surprising some LS1's!!

                      At the end of Part Three, we changed the valvetrain of the 3.8-liter V6 in the Tom Henry RS. We installed new, Yella Terra "Ultralite" 1.8:1, aluminum roller rocker arms, Katech valve springs and Katech titanium retainers on our 3800 Series II V6.
                      Ultralites are nearly 25% lighter than the stock 1.6 rockers and 8% lighter than the SLP aluminum...
