Got it running good then.......
Got it running good then....... well i finally got my car up and running again with the T-70 on it. Wastegate is at 7lbs.
the car is a 2000 z28 with a stock motor(want to see how far it will go), and a TH350 behind it with a big (too big) 3800 stall.
The car makes boost so easy its rediculious. The turbo is much louder than i expected.
THEN......i took one of my friends for a ride, made one 2-3 gear pass, came to a stop pulled it down into 1st, and guess what........first gear is gone.
so im driving it home, and second dissapears also,
oh well i guess if you not breaking stuff, your not going fast enough.
Long story short, its faster than my car ever was on the bottle(old times in signature), and now its slower, because it it only has one gear, third.
guess its time to pull a tranny.

Custom. built by 417 Motorsports here in Springfield, MO
Its a single T70 mounted pretty much under the drivers side headlight. Im using an 01 manifold on the passenger side, which runs down underneath the converter, then goes towards the front of the car inbetween the motor and motor mount.
on the drivers side i have a 98 passenger manifold flipped backwards which then merges with the crossover pipe. Then a single pipe runs down and over to the turbo inlet.
i have pics, but cant find my cable to get them from the camera to the computer.

Of course......its a street car. I havnt done it yet, but with the location of the turbo, i had to move the cruise control box. I was just wanting to get it going so that was one of the things that was put on the back burner.

A "street" car with a th350 and a 3800 stall? I guess it's always in the eye of the beholder. I am trying to rein in a similar kit, it's good to hear you've had satisfactory results.

i have the biggest cooler that B&M offers. driving around town during the summer the tranny would run 175 on the hot side. After a few back to back runs it was somewhere around 220.
