new motor setup

[TurboLSX]

motors coming out 99% sure as of now, heres my combo. tell me what you guys think, any suggestions:

forged 370,
electric water pump,
underdrive,
90mm TB
1st stage 150 hp
2nd stage 200 hp in standalone

estimating 475-500 rwhp on motor
two stage 800-850 rwhp on nitrous

any suggestions?

[hi officer]

by under drive do you mean pulleys? i don't think that would be needed but you may know otherwise...also why not forged 408? hehe

and one more thing...why don't you wait till i catch up before you go doing that...it'll make me feel better

[TurboLSX]

well a 370 only requires new rods and pistons. 408 needs a crank too. what kind of vibration did you have. mine is just at 1500 rpm to 2500, then if i put it in Neutral and rev it i get a smooth iniform vibration. very slight to where if you never rode in the car you would notice it now. did you have something like that?

[01BlackBird]

sonds good heres mine

forged 346
stage 2.5 5.3 truck heads
ms4 cam
weiand intake
underdrive pullies
all suporting mods

soon to be 9 inch rear
most likly two stage
150 on the first
100 on the second

[hi officer]

if the car does it sitting still then first, (because its easiest) i would make sure you didn't slip the harmonic balancer, then look at the flywheel for anything abnormal such as being bent or missing weight, also the torque converter (not sure if those have weights on our cars.) then if still no problem it may be something such as a stretched rod or broken piston skirt but i doubt that. again those are just guesses, u can rule out everything behind the trans if it does it sitting still.

as for mine it howled during a down shift, also when out of gear above 40mph there was a slight scrubbing noise.

BTW i'm sure you know this but drive/start the car minimally to reduce further damage

[TurboLSX]

shiiiiiiiiit, i got all excited to rip up this motor and the damn balancer bolt was loose and fell out. put it back in and its smooth as silk. anyone have a nitrous noid. im going to add another stage to hopefully blow this thing up.

[The EnforceR]

why not sell it and use that money towqards the project instead of blow a perfectly good engine.

[MrDavid]

why not sell it and use that money towqards the project instead of blow a perfectly good engine.

i'm gonna have to agree with that statement. But then again, this is chris, he actually spells his name CHRI$.

[The EnforceR]

true, he rolls deep.

[comptaclone]

let the man blow it we all need one under the belt at some point in time lol j/k

[MrDavid]

Just don't blow it racing a mustang! We would all never hear the end of that one.

[TurboLSX]

lol ya really deep. i wish. im just getting bored with the setup. i need something to do to the car to keep me interested

dave, second fastest? someone start a post of the top 10 on this site

[The EnforceR]

trade with me, youll have plenty of things you can do to mine!

[MrDavid]

nah, jay said the other day that he was stuck in the middle of the Fastest and the Slowest. After that comment I decided to lay claim to the 2nd fastest in UFB.

[98chevyman]

well if it means anything in which it dont im the 4th fastest right now cause i can outrun all the ones with no nitro

[The EnforceR]

so i guess im 6th fastest. dang thats slow. i think after #5 it get categorized by slowness rather than fastness.

[TurboLSX]

anyone this weekend want to run for that #1 spot:secret:

[01BlackBird]

Ill run you for the #1 spot im gonna need you to take some timing out im gonna spray a 250 on you and hope for the best if it holds together it may be a good run if it doesnt time for a build thenIll take that #1 spot

[TurboLSX]

Ill run you for the #1 spot im gonna need you to take some timing out im gonna spray a 250 on you and hope for the best if it holds together it may be a good run if it doesnt time for a build thenIll take that #1 spot

your on. i bought some good stuff tonight, got a little bored. but i think you will need atleast a 300 shot after they go on.

[MrDavid]

my prediction - Chris will pull you at least 4 cars at the end of 140mph because you will spin tires all day with that much nitrous.

[98chevyman]

u can go with a 300 shot but nos dont mean shit without traction ask david

[MrDavid]

it just means you spin while watching the tail lights of your opponent

[RamAirGod]

anyone this weekend want to run for that #1 spot:secret:
ill run you for that number 1 spot. Just dont be surprised if you end up in the ditch for some strange reason ;)

[01BlackBird]

lol thats what im talkin about winning is winning it dont matter how you do it

[MrDavid]

"an inch or a mile" winning is winning

[The EnforceR]

^ haha just waht i was thinking. for all of you that were too col to come out tongiht, we had 6 f-bodies terrorizing the westgate ricers/stangs. a pretty clean lil nissan silvia SR20 turbo went down hard tongiht tho, thats just about the only exciting thing that went on.

[MrDavid]

actually, it was a 240. I doubt you will see a sylvia in the burg. Yea, he bit the dust pretty quick. I am thinking after tonight that I would like to put the slicks on and race chris while we are both spraying. It might be a little more interesting than I had previously thought. :), but then again, it might not.

[The EnforceR]

you gotta let chris put on his e.t skreets too bc he was a little squirly too

[01BlackBird]

there are a few actual silvias in the spartanburg area I am real close friends with some guys that have a shop NSPerformance (hence the sticker on my truck) they specialize in sr20 swaps, skylines, silvias, 180s, and 240s, any of the turbo ones you see around they most likely did the swap or had a part in it but they also import cars from japan and put them back together thats why you see a few skylines around our area now

[MrDavid]

I've only seen one skyline around the area and we all know it is nowhere near fast. But I have never seen any of these sylvias around here. If you're close friends with some of them, then get one of them to come out and meet up with us next time. I wanna see one.

[TurboLSX]

dave im gonna put a hurtin on yooooooou:secret: jk, this new setup should be 625-635 rwhp, i hope we can do a 75 mph roll. kyles watched my 60 roll. its quite interesting

[The EnforceR]

dave im gonna put a hurtin on yooooooou:secret: jk, this new setup should be 625-635 rwhp, i hope we can do a 75 mph roll. kyles watched my 60 roll. its quite interesting

which resultin in tire haze, literally.

[MrDavid]

I don't do 75 rolls, that is for ricers with big turbos! We are putting slicks on and going from a 35 roll. And you aren't gonna up the shot on me either! You are already on a bigger shot than me anyway so I'll need all the help I can get. If you spin you are gonna have to play catchup!

[hi officer]

165 roll for me, i have a bad traction problem

[brad360]

Sounds nice. pics??

[MrDavid]

if you wanna see pics, click on the VBpic gallery

[WhiteIrocZ]

The motor sounds pretty sweet. Should be stought on and off the spray.

Who is going to be the first to break with slicks, Chris or Dave???

[The EnforceR]

both are on stock 10 bolts so its a matter of time!

[hi officer]

dave with his gm 4:11s

[MrDavid]

GM 4.10's.

[The EnforceR]

kale with his broke a$$ GM 4.11s

[hi officer]

Sorrrrrrry....

[98chevyman]

Im with dave on this one if the white ss feels as he is number one now he should keep the setup he has unless hes worried about a poor little trans am might hang with him is this true cris??

[TurboLSX]

dave the slower the speed the better. my car is setup for the track. 70 roll would help you. as for traction, et stick are here to bolt on where ever. i think im going to try some 315 nittos for fun, if those suck than maybe some bf goodrich drag radials. i just got some rear end parts for the 10 bolt. if it break then ill just get a 12 or 9 inch, no biggie.

but one word for you traction haters out there "progressive" and im not talking soup either

[01BlackBird]

good luck with those rear end parts I had the same parts on mine that you bought and I broke mine but you do have an auto so maybe it will hold and the BFG drag radials suck so I wouldnt waist my money on those it doesnt get any better than mockey thompson

[98chevyman]

thanks for the reply

[hi officer]

i love soup

[MrDavid]

and MT's are what i'll be rollin on. I don't want to go from a high roll, I don't car if it will help me or not. I don't want to win a race like that. I say we run 35-140 and if you are way ahead when I get to 110 and it doesn't look like i'm gonna catch up then i'll just throw in the towel then. I've been beaten before, so it won't be the first time, and i'm sure it won't be the last.

[hi officer]

OMG....daves been beat before? i dont believe it

[98chevyman]

I like Golden Grahams for breakfast um mmu good

[MrDavid]

OMG....daves been beat before? i dont believe it

Yep, sure have. Not by an LT1 yet :p hehe. Surely that day will come soon enough though.
