this is my friends car i tuned today on the roller.

1999 4.8L
th400 / ptc converter
ls9 cam / pac 1218s
Microsquirt plug and play
80mm turbo / 2 inch hotside truck manifolds

18# of boost 13* timing pumpgas + meth

 

God is that thing hideous no way its making that kinda power with that mess under the hood blah blah blah

 

Looks like a China 80mm? Looks a bit down for power for 18psi compared to a borg 80mm...

 

Is that the cxraing/magnum turbo? Will there be track vids?

 

 

Is that a truck intake manifold under a stock hood? Is this with the stock K-frame, or an aftermarket one? Pretty sweet!

How does the th400 feel compared to the 80e other than the lack of OD?

Awesome results! What size converter? Track times should be interesting.

 

Thanks! Do those provide any suspension geometry benefits?

I'm guessing they allow for the lower positioning of the engine that tucks the truck intake under the hood, and are probably lighter weight than stock, true?

 

pretty sure its a 10 inch Tim a ptc spec'd it for the car was the one they sell for around 450

 

truthfully it was easier at the time than me building motor mounts and it is a lot lighter

 

Where's the video? Be that thing is fun to drive!

 

and for those of you who are interested here is the complete hotside had very little back pressure was able to make 18 psi on a wastegate spring that was only getting 6 psi without the controller 2 inch merging to 2.5 right before the turbo

 

She might not be pretty but sounds to me like that's one quick Capri lol

 

Out of all the builds yall do... seems like someone would invest in a TIG lmao. Still some **** I would pull so im not even hating hah!!! GJ

 

Few wraps of header wrap problem solved. Hell those welds look good compared to most ive seen from these guys.

Whats all done to the th400. You think the converter will hold the power for a while?

 

Where can I get one of those battery hold downs? Love it, lol. . .

 

Welds might have looked nicer if the shielding gas didn't get blown away Haha. there are two videos up on the sloppy fb page. The th400 is a basic built made for max of 800 90 hp with a t brake ane reverse vb

 

looks good . should run nines.

 

Those welds arent pretty but man can they take a beating. Lol
