just put in some new bearings a new belt and a new compressor wheel by 928 motorsports claims 20%more boost install went great also modified the case to let some cooling air in and the heat out of the case.could only get 4.5# of boost before hope to get some boost #s after this weekend.seems to feel good but still having tranny problems. I will post up picts soon.with any luck we can throw it on the dyno at the car craft nationals.

 

just finaly got back on the belair bought the new impeller from 928 motorsports hopfully it does what they claim it does. the claims are 20% more boost. the charger was only putting out 4.5 # of boost . I decided to make some mods to the case so I drilled 1/2 holes to give it some airflow through the case and to let the heat out. hopefully this new upgraded belt will not blow out again anytime soon.hoping to have the car on the dyno next weekend to see any improvments.

little side by side comparison

 

hope to see some of you guys out there we will be there all weekend.hope to get some dyno time sometime this weekend.hoping for at least 430 to the wheels.wish me luck.

 

holly cr@p were does the time go. trying to get this build back on track. I have a couple of updates since my last post. brought the car to the dyno and still having problems making boost. put down 400 to the rear wheels again with 6# dropping off to 5# I don,t know if the operators just were holding back because it was at 5000 rpms. for peak hp.just feels good to get it back on the road. decided to get a few other things done like remodel my house and shop. and just keep driving the car for a while.
here is a link to some of this building and remodeling and you will see why it is taking so long.

took a little break on the shop and decided to get more done on the car. built a trailer hitch to pull the pop up camper with.here is some picts. of that.



the hitch is completely hidden when not in use.license plate is hinged for access to receiver.

 

Nice build man seen it a few years back keep up the good work

 

here is what the hitch looked like before putting the trim on to hide everything.


put the hitch on to tow the camper trailer up to Brainerd to run in the power cruise.the goal was to go and road race it pulling the camper up with it.drag race and pull the camper home. some things happened others did not.

also put some more comfortable seats in the back so the kids could be a little happier in the back.

 

thanks for the kind words hope to really get rolling on the car in the next week so stay tuned for alot more changes.

 

Cant wait to see more.

 

Me too.

 

woa! awesome build here!!!

 

Awsume build!!!! Why did a crap load of people right on it

 

Nice build, you do very nice work! If you get tired of that Powerdyne and it's inherit belt problems, give me a call and I'll make you a great deal on a ProCharger. Bob

 

don't worry there is alot more to come.

more coming up soon.

thanks for the interest more coming soon.

pm me on a charger might be interested thinking on going twin turbo.but anything is possible

The whole idea of letting people signing it was for people to give input on what they would do to the car if money was unlimited and they wanted to make the coolest car in the world. feel free to add suggestions of what you would do with the car.

 

Looking good!! The hitch turned out real clean.

 

Man what an awesome build!!! Great craftsmanship!!!

If you dont mind, could you tell me what the rear bucket seats come out of or are they aftermarket?

 

the seats are out of a 2005 gto rear seats the fronts have not been installed yet

 

Can u please share the info on the rack and pinion? I'm doing the conversion in my 61 impala and having issues finding one that will werk. Thanks

 

the rack is out of a 99 dodge intrepid the rack is a center steer i found this by accident and it works perfect just made a different center cradle for it and cut the end mounts off and made my own tie rods for it.not a bolt in but it works.

 

Ok it is official I have gone mad going to the dark side of way more power
GOING TWIN TURBO!!!!!!!! pulled the supercharger off and started planning the install and figuring out how to pull this off. A single is not a option because of the stupid x frame and no were to run a cross pipe and being as the car is so low it is going to be a challenge but I am willing to take the risk. looking to go for 600 to 700 to the rear wheels or maybe more.
and so it begins. I promise to keep you guys involved with this build you can either watch me fail or triumph. it could go either way.

 

thanks, im going to look into it. maybe stroll thru the pick and pull for a mock up....ill start a build topic once i locate my motor and trans.....
