The ugliness that is my '87 Sport:

Note for above pic: Damn coworker spilled gas all over the tar and made it look like ****.

And the after pic!

very nice!

And the broken down mess known as a DSM/coworkers '88 vert/his other POS known as a DSM:


Phew, wonder how many 56k's this just fried.

 

Oh, and the best view I have of the 'turbo' area at the moment:

 

On another note, ignore my broken oil pressure gauge.... That needs fixing.

 

I would personally recomend a 6puck from Pineapple racing. They have a "new" pad material that works excellent. It's not metallic so it won't destroy a flywheel (I have an AL one so that was a concern of mine) and it grips great. It can be slipped if you want it to but let it out a bit quicker and it GRABS... zero slipping. You can get it sprung or unsprung and it should last a long time.

I'm running an extreme PP and this combo holds 470RWhp no problem.

u think a water to air intercooler under the hood would save some of the headache of piping?

 

I don't think there would have been a lot of room, and I had the intercooler already, so I was like what the hell

 

awesome! go primer black on the outside.. ultimate beater/sleeper look haha

 

I think it's sleeper enough for just about anybody to think they can take it. I've ran into a problem with my AFM, I mounted it bad and upon hard decel it's slamming shut cutting off my fuel & stalling (d0h!) So tomorrow I'll be flipping it around and trying to remedy this issue. As far as I can tell I'm hitting full boost around 2900-3200rpm, haven't been able to get a good look while acceling that fast, but that's about the range.

She loves to smoke the tires though!

 

what a/f are you shooting for?

 

freakin... awesome!

 

i hve that exact same wideband

 

12 to 12.5. I'm going to set up a buzzer that alerts me if i go over that under anything more than 75% throttle, just in case. I've driven it around more today and the clutch holds up considerably better if I feather into the boost, I can keep up with a modified N/A who's in 3rd gear at WOT while i'm in 4th at less than half throttle, for a small comparison. As far as hills/cruising. It's almost flawless, in the GTUs hills kick my *** and i damn near have to have 75% throttle to maintain speed, with the turbo, I can maintain the same pedal position and keep my speed. I'm loving it. It'll break loose all the way into 3rd (and if I don't let off more than likely keep on spinning) untiil the clutch lets go. Fun times! at 5k rpm i'm currently down in the 10's on my A/F ratio, so I'm pretty safe at the moment. Not doing major corrections until I hit the dyno next week.

 

That's a bit lean don't you think?

 

great job Sonic.

 

I think 12's are a bit lean under load.

I personally would shoot for 10.5 under load to be safe. You can't retard your timing so that might be a good idea. Some stuff to think about.

Good job on the conversion

 

More than likely, but I believe it has to do with the way I'll be tuning it. WOT 5th gear, highest load achievable, thus most any gear below it will be safe and have a higher buffer. We shall see!

 

that's not always true.

rpms play a big factor and I doubt you got to 6k in 5th gear.

What injectors are you running? Any idea on duty ratio?

 

This is where a dyno comes in handy... I've mentioned the injectors/fuel pump on the first page.

550 pri & 720 secondaries.

 

prolly forgot......read it yesterday........

 

Hehe well now im going to have to hide out. You all saw my talon graveyard. I know shame on me. Anyways the turbo sport definatly pulls a hell of a lot more then the ol vert does. However my girl was still able to hold here title as having the fastest car. Her talon still pulled on the sport. If only your clutch could hold up hehehe. Any ways I have to taunt and tease before he gets a new clutch in that thing. Now just to get the vert turbo'd!!!!!
