Re: Turbo time....
Foot on the dash. LOL
Did you notice a difference with the Walbro?Comment
-
Re: Turbo time....
her foot wasnt on the dash at the begining of the turn, I forgot how hard that car catctches traction..LOL She almost wanted to fly out the window>LOL
The walbro definitly helped, the injector duty cycle is much lower, and I had to retune all of the Higher Rpms because they were so stinkin rich.Comment

Re: Turbo time....
Completly wraped the exhaust today, not fun!! That crap is no fun to wrap on when the exhaust is on the car and the wrap is soaked with water. The tighter you pull the more water that drips on you... But I did start the car up on a few occations to burn off the water and the starch thats in the wrap. I could actually grab the pipe before and after the turbo and it wasnt very hot at all, and thats after reving it up. That stuff really does work.
Well see in a few days when I get the chance to drive it if it keeps the underhood temps a little lower. Im hoping the turbo will spool a little quicker too as my exhaust routing is longer then I wanted but its all I could manage with my "limited skills".

Re: Turbo time....
The wrap is good, especially for your turbo. The only bad thing about it is that it will corrode your exhaust pipe sooner.
Do you have plans on dynoing before you hit the track?Comment

Re: Turbo time....
Well the track opens in 3 weeks from today, and Ive been so busy that I havent got to do as much as I wanted to the car, so I think the track is going to come first before the dyno.
The quicker the pipes rot out the quicker I have a excuse to made real turbo headers and a better set up... LOL
Clearence under the K-member is Ok, i just have to take it easy when going into/outa driveways that are steep and such, I lost some ground clearence but its the only route I could take. I havent had a problem with the set up yet and Ive drivent the car about 500 miles so far with the turbo set up. So it works fine for now!Comment

Re: Turbo time....
I think he meant V8 because they are stiffer than our V6.Originally posted by fasteddi View PostComment

Re: Turbo time....
Ahh LOL i read that reply to quick...I should have knew that. Well I hope the exhaust can just keep my happy for the year becase come next winter I plan to make up turbo headers and run all the exhaust beween the firewall and the block, since there so much room there for piping.Comment
