Default Greetings from BC Canada

Hey all, been on a few forums over the years and been wrenching for 25 years. Had a few muscle cars with the best one being a 1970 SS454 Chevelle. It had about 450whp which I thought was pretty badass 10 years ago but this turbo SBE LS stuff is out of hand...and I like it.

Strayed a little with a 1990 Nissan Skyline GTR...spoiled really. It was a monster with a fully built engine and an 88mm single turbo conversion making about 800fwhp. Ran 128mph through the traps at only 17lbs of blow...lol. A fine gentleman in Colorado Springs now owns it and has gone 140mph with E85 and 26psi.

Now I want a MoreDoor granny wagon that can go 140mph through the traps and still have AC and tunes and power everthing (like the Skyline had). Going to be a slow build but have most of the parts now and just starting to let **** fly. Will do a build thread once I have some pics and progress to show.



Jon.

Welcome from the coast,

I like your goal, 140mph car you can drive to the track. And with a/c, that's similar to what I'm trying to do.

Default BC Beer

Hi Jon, my wife's parents lived in BC, on the hill, ran the Canadian National Rail Road. (a VP)
I have been there too, that area has WATER that has better taste than beer !

I would be able to help if you state your build items using EAP as a "model"
to providing expected HP/Torque.

My area is directed at the ECU, Coils, Injectors, Fuel Pumps, ITB Intakes.
These items are tough tested (often) in the BAJA, NHRA, Air Boat, Classic Car areas.

There is NO CHARGE for an EAP model report.

Whoops...been a while. Thanks for the offer but I got her all spec-ed out already. Mr Happel has pretty much got everything to do with turbo LS figured out and I am just emulating that. With twin 6161 GT35 clones she will be 700whp even on a BabySoft tune at 20psi.
