Callin' out Reid!

[turbostang]

It's your time, I need revenge after our race at the cruise.

(When I launched, the car stumbled - I let off of the gas to keep from sending the carb into orbit)


I'm such a nice guy, I'll give you the hit....

(not this weekend - we'll be in Ardmore most likely, next weekend?)

I just talked to Reid ( he doesn't have a computer right now) and all he wants to know is, when and where? :D He says he's game for a rematch! Kennedale?

Hey brooks. I know you switched intakes on the car but how did that dual plane act on it? Did it run ok with it?

It will not be this coming weekend, although the car is pretty much ready. All I have to do is switch the fuel pump.

I dyno'd it like it was when I got it, and it ran ok - but I felt it was missing something. Subsequently, I broke it at the track the next day. (when the dogbones came off of the lifters)

I took it apart, fixed it, polished the cam where the lifters spun and changed intakes all at the same time. The cam was in 2 teeth off as well.

It's hard to say exactly how much difference the intakes made - but it picked up 6MPH on motor and a half second between fixing the cam and changing the intake.

That's a pretty big difference. I was more wondering if it burned oil. I still don't know what made my motor burn oil. It stopped when I put the E7s on and the machine shop said there was nothing wrong with my canfields.

Nope, no burning oil.

Yours was more likely related to a bad seal or guide.

[BUBBASTIFF]

all right another callout for reid. I just might have to show up and watch this one. Hey Jared whats up with the coil overs you said your buddy might sell me for the rear of my car....let me know..stop by or something.

That first time when the valves touched the pistons could have messed one of those up right?

[turbostang]

Yeah, it could have hosed the guide more than anything. If it slightly bent it, it wore the guide funny.. and leaked oil on top of the valve.

Umm 92notch put the cam in not me. That motor was out of his black hatch. That is my old cam though. Which reminds me. DOes that cam lope at all after it is warmed up? When it was in my car it sounded stock after it warmed up a little bit.

[turbostang]

I don't know who installed the cam - Michael said he put it back the same way he took it out. I don't know - that's between you guys.

I can promise you - it picked up about 60RWHP, maybe more.

To me, it sounds about like a B cam. It pulls pretty good to about 7,000. The car is already WAY different than it was - and now, it has 10" wheels, and 2 gears. Soon it will get a new exhaust system.

[OrangeChevyII]

He put it back in the same way it came out? huh? I had nothing to do with the motor that is in it right now. Michael kilgore (turboford) built that motor for sleeperls years ago.

Even then he did not put the cam in that is in it now. 92notch swapped me cams out of my old motor to run in the current motor brooks is now running.

He didn't do any wiring on that car did he?

[Super Coupe]

The car was a 4 banger conversion when I bought it already converted to a 5.0l. I don't know who did any of that work. The only wiring we did was taking the fuel injection stuff off and an msd box and that also did not come with the car. I have heard the wiring is messed up and I did all of it and the fuel lines were to big.

Well I saw what was on the car when Brooks got it and holy fuck that thing would of blown up had someone hit the bottle... Oh and good thing on wiring. I've seen some work come from over that way. Holy butt-connector!

So what part of the wiring? There wasn't much wiring involved in what I did. I certainly didn't have anything to do with any nitrous wiring. I never had nitrous on the car. Like I said when I got rid of it there wasn't anything in the car.

I wasn't talking about the wiring when I mentioned it blowing up... The fuel system on the other hand had some... umm... "issues".

92notch changed it all up when he got it. I don't know if you mean it had some issues when brooks got it or when 92notch got it. It was all still a work in progress when I got rid of it. I ran a pickup tube/fuel filter inside the gas tank where the old fuel pump went. Me and my cousin made a little plate from sheet metal that I thought worked pretty good to keep any foreign objects out and I think we had a breather on it too. Then the fuel line came out and ran down the driver side subframe connector and that went to a mechanical fuel pump. After that it wrapped around to the carb.

Didn't you read my post? I said when Brooks got it there some issues. Had someone sprayed that motor it probably would of melted alot of shit. No big deal, its all fixed now. :banana:

[sleeperLS]

let me say this. That motor from the time we fired it up rill the time i sold the car always ran good. Hell everyone else i know had blown up about 6 motors and mine was still kicking. Never had to take a valve cover off. Glad you got it running good brooks. I still dont know why he changed cams. I liked the lunati 51014 that was in it.

[Saladbar]

That's the one.

And speaking of slow, we still need to line them up.

You can borrow my LP frame if you beat me, or better yet... If you lose, put a "I lost to a trailblazer in a drag race" sticker across the back glass. Even in old english font, makes no difference to me! :)

[turbostang]

LOL. Kyle, that pickup was bad news man. It would not hold fuel pressure no matter what you did to it - because it was drawing the fuel UP the hose to the pump.

Fuel lines too big? Shit. I am taking that stuff off of it now, and replacing it with a
-10 Feed and -10 Return!

Like I said, I am not sure of the cam - Michael just said it was put back in the way you ran it. I am not sure if he meant the way it came out of your motor or what. He just mentioned that it was "degreed" by who ever built it before - Kilgore?

Either way, whether it was a mistake or intentional - it cost the car a LOT of power. I don't care one way or the other - it's the way I want it now. No biggie.

Now, the wiring.. OMG.

Nothing on the car is the same as when I got it. Fuel System, fuel tank, wiring, nitrous, exhaust, trans, rear end, suspension, interior, wheels/tires etc.... all changed. The engine is the closest to the way it was when I got it - Now, it has a different intake, cam degreed, etc..

Now, it runs pretty good. ;)

Brooks the cam was never degreed in that engine, it was installed @ 0., it was built the way HE wanted it and he was happy, if it would of been for all the power he could get the heads would have been CNCd etc..

hey i had a rpm intake i put on a little bigger nitrous set up 125hp to 150hp and it was showing small signs of detination in #6 cylinder only, silver specs on plugs i had the timing @35 anitial ,6degrees pulled out on retard i have now just put on i vic jr intake but have not had time to test it yet did u have any problems like this with your rpm intake 6&7 always ran a little leaner on mine even on motor !

Never had a problem like that. It only made about 5 dyno pulls and one or two track passes. Sounds like you had too much timing.. We ran 10* retard and 34* initial fwiw.

I had a gauge on mine trying to trouble shoot and it held 9 psi fuel pressure with that mechanical fuel pump. I lined the cam up dot to dot in mine. It still ran good even with the stock e7s on it. It would pull harder than my current coupe does right now even with 273s. It's all good. I am glad you got it to your liking. Maybe I should let you have my coupe for a couple weeks and you can tweak on it some after I get it back from paint!

[BoostedGT]

I'm guessing this is a stab of some sorts... I can and have built motors in the past. Not much to them.

were those timing settings with similar nitrous set up i have edelbrock performer rpm kit 150hp 68*fuel 68*nos 6.5psi fuel pressure. p.s thanx brooks

[junior]

were those timing settings with similar nitrous set up i have edelbrock performer rpm kit 150hp 68*fuel 68*nos 6.5psi fuel pressure. p.s thanx brooks

also mention you dont have a stand alone for the nitrous so thats why the fuel is at 6.5


<--doesnt know what his talking about but hey it can make a difference???

[gloomleader]

i dont know abt the edelbrock kits but I know the NOS kits always have more Spray then fuel.... As far as the jet sizes...

[fordracer]

i dont know abt the edelbrock kits but I know the NOS kits always have more Spray then fuel.... As far as the jet sizes...

the new edelbrock setups are like the speedtech kits they jet the fuel and nitrous the same and increase the fuel pressure to 6.5 instead of 5.5 psi thats what was in the instructions. im starting to question this theory though i might run a little smaller nos jet if any one is familiar with these setups let me know your imput! not trying to still your thread brooks sorry. p.s gloomleader i think u mean more fuel than spray not more spray than fuel, i hope!

[turbostang]

My numbers were on a 150 shot, fwiw.

Nitrous is nitrous, no matter WHO's kit it is. Having said that, Each manufacturer uses a different naming scheme on their jet sizes. I.e. NOS #69, is not necessarily the same as NX's #69.

We set my car up for 950# bottle pressure, and for the timing - we had a 10* retard on a 34* base, but it gained no power there, so we dropped it back to 32* base. We ran flowing fuel pressure at 6.2 psi from what I remember.

All I was saying is that on a 125-150 shot, you'd need to be in the neighborhood of 8-12* retard - lower, ESPECIALLY if you are running iron heads.

[garage sale]

hey brooks, I have some question on a turbo car, can I get a phone number?

thanx man i appreciate your help kind of a hairy situation to deal with i think your right i just had to much timing in it i put a 8* degree chip in it and im gonna pull my base timing down to 32* and let it rip! hey while im thinking about it who would u recomend i buy a spec stage 3 clutch from jegs and summit dont have them i dont think?

Keep in mind, those are suggestions - I'd advise you get it on the dyno, or on the track with some good tuning eyes helping you. (if you are not 100% confident)


Not sure on the clutch, I am pretty sure one of them has that clutch. I seem to remember just looking it up on there.

Reid showed just as he said he would, I gave him the hit and caught up to him at about ~200-300ft and it got ugly from there. It was the FIRST pass on the bottle since the trans swap and tire change. Two completely different kinds of cars, but it was a good race.
