Btw got the car going. Drove it around town for awhile and did a 1/2 throttle pull. Didn't go in to boost at all, but you can hear the turbo spool a little bit.
Well got it tuned. Picked the car up and drove it a few hours back to town. Raced a gto and snapped my tail shaft housing on 2nd run. Was a good first run though lol.
Here is a pic of tail shaft. Broke all the way around. Hopefully nothing else is screwed up.
Well launching the car with the torque arm connected to the transmission put way to much pressure on tailshaft causing it to snap. So bought me a umi body mount for torque arm.
Wow that really did a number on that tail housing haha.
Yea it did! I'll just be happy if thats all that is screwed up. Turbo kit seems to be doing really well though i'm happy with the kit so far. I'm buying a tail housing from a guy and the other stuff should be here by friday. Hope to have it back up and going soon
Glad to see you got it up and running! Nice carnage as well, fix that up and keep on enjoying!
Yep I want to beat this gto so I think after i fix the tail housing and get body torque mount on i'm going to throw a boost controller on it and up it to 9 lbs or so!
Well got a tailhousing from a buddy with new bushing and seals for $30 Yesterday! New umi trans mount came in today and umi body mount should be in tomorrow. Also just purchased a hallman pro rx mbc. Going to give it a few more lbs to try and win this next race. Rear end is whining and getting pretty noisy so will see how it likes more boost lol.
Nice car. Build seemed quick.
I assume stock 10 bolt?
Where is the oil fields you work in?
Yep stock 10 bolt. Trying to decide if I should stick another stock one in or spend some $ and get a built one. Also I work in the north texas panhandle area.... Preparing for the cold!
Yes a few updates! I broke the stock 10 bolt. Started trying to find out a vibration issue for weeks. Installed new strange s60 rear end and vibration went away.
Now everything, but the motor is built. Been driving the car around having fun with the boost. Put a boost controller on and could not get boost to come up. Went to race a new awd porsche and got my *** handed to me because my boost controller would not work and boost started building slowly and now I can only make about 4 &1/2 lbs of boost. Now to figure out if it's the boost controller or I have a boost leak....
Figured I would update this. I sold this car to buy a c6 shortly after completing the build. Well I bought the car back after a year with the other owner it has only 1000 more miles, on it and some mods put on including a forged 5.7, subframe connectors, adj shocks all around, and I put my rts wheels
