Question for 3.4 NOS engines

[guitarest]

So I have been running the Holley kit for the 3.4 for a year now and have yet to get the thing working properly. I have been paying a speed shop for quite some time to figure it out and they also did the install but it always seems to be the same answer. "We never have done this to a 6 cyl before", I am sick and tired about that answer. I have spent a few buckson this car and if I wanted a V-8 I could have bought one already; so please no you should have bought a V-8 cracks. I went to LVD (Lebenon Valley Dragway) in NY this past weekend after the car was given a green light to run by the speed shop. With out juice and on street tires I ran a 2.1 60 ft and a 15.3 quarter mile. My next run with the 100 shot nozzle went like this, I got maybe half way and it sharted sputtering, a few small expolsions under the hood I turned off the NOS. This has been my demon since the kit has been installed. The speed shop had a few people at the track that day and they swapped around the NOS and the Fuel line injectors. Now the damn NOS does not work at all. Has anyone got the standard Holley NOS kit to work on your car? I have spent a few bucks on other MODS also on my car, regrinded the heads, headers, cat back dynomax, 3.42 posi rearend, K&N Filpk, reprogramed Computer, 8mm Plug wires and really cold delco plugs...........

Any and all suggestions would be greatly accepted...


Thanks

I ran N2O on my 3.4 V6 with out any problems. I did have some small problems at first due to plugs and fuel system. I went to TR6 plugs gapped at like .040 and installed a high flow fuel pump and 19# injectors and the problems went away. Give us some more info like do you have a M5 or an A4? Are you using a window switch? Are you using high octane gas/octane booster? It sounds like you have some detonation going on. Also are you using a bottle warmer to keep bottle pressure up? I guess you are using the NOS 5175 kit?

[guitarest]

I have the auto transmission 4L60 no bottle warmer and the switch is set to activate the NOS at full throttle. I am using stock injectors (fuel) and 93 Oct gas..........No bottle warmer

Hows this for more information?

[Tiago]

so what all have you done? when you got your heads done "regrind" did you just get em shaved or toatally redone w are not trying to flame you just want more info when a new person shows up running great times let us know some details on your car

[guitarest]

Not taking it as a flame and actually I have been around almost a year, just a quiet person.

I am not happy with my times and it should be way better for the what I have spent on Mods.

The computer was reprogramed
I am running Delco Plugs
Mobile One
3.42 Posi Rear with Redline Oil
B&M TransPak Shift Kit
8.0 mm Taylor Wires
K&N Filpk
Regrind Heads
Street Tires


My time slip is like this

rt.............836 (sucks)
60.............2.2 (Good)
330............6.37
1/8............9.705
mph............75.04
1000...........12.654
1/4............15.323
mph............80.77

I slowed down because of issues with the car, I would like it to be in the 14's on Motor and very low 13's/high 12's on NOS. I have spent enough money on the car to have put in a V-8 but wanted to stay with a 6 cyl because no one really does this any more with 6ers. I have been given the nickname of "Defender of the V-6" at my Club. We are located at
CTFBA on the World Wide Web.

that is awsome times but you should not be running much better you don't have a whole lot of mods alot of people on here have more and run alot slower times congradulations on haveing a nice car can't wait to see some timeslips

[guitarest]

I will be doing a complete new 3.4 very soon. I know GM makes a aluminm (sp) block and also can get stage 3 heads and a few other things in the works. I love this board because I have taken the information and ran it down to the speed shop that did the work.
a picture of the car is located at http://www.ctfba.com/ss/gallery/galjocko1.jpg

nice car, but 15.3 at 80mph?! thats fugged up...
u should be runnging at elast 87-88 mph for that et. have you backed up this time? maybe it was a freak timing system error

[guitarest]

No I was having issues with the car so I backed off the throttle. My real issues came the next run when I put on the Mickey T's and hit the NOS. The car sounded like it was coming apart at the seams..........I hope to have the NOS figured out soon. My first run, this one; was with street tires and no NOS the bottle was shut off during this run. I turned on the bottle when the Drag Radials went on.
