0-6psi < 48 hrs

Forced_Firebird · 12-29-2007, 06:53 PM

So Loner made the 3hr drive down here on Thursday to install his turbo, got here about noon and drove home this morning about the same time (Sat).

It was a long 2 days, we didn't go to sleep until 2am Fri, got up at 8 and went right back at it. Pulled an all-nighter and it was running shortly after dawn.

Here's the startup...

Here's the first and second test drive after we overcame a couple of snags (coupler never tightened, and a coupler blew off)...

We used the prototype turbo headers I build for him a couple of months ago and fabbed everything else while the car was here.

He didn't hesitate to make the 3hr drive home after and only had a few minor details to work out.

Here are some pics how we did it...

75% throttle and spinning tires at 30mph is fun

hah! sweet!

Sleeper101 · 12-31-2007, 10:28 AM

Turbo = Lots of fun!!!

Forced_Firebird · 12-31-2007, 03:58 PM

The fun didn't last long. He blew out the tranny today "playing around a little bit". He knew it was on it's last leg, and I see why with >140k on the clock.

Looks like I'm driving to Orlando in a week or two to do a 5 speed swap, mowhahahah.

It ran mid 14's N/A, I really wanted to see what kind of improvements the tubo made after the tune was tweaked, but it will have to wait now ;(

ss~zoso~ss · 01-01-2008, 08:01 PM

what kind of car is it? cavalier ? whats it got for system management

Benner · 01-01-2008, 08:26 PM

I think it's a corsica. That's a cool little setup.

Forced_Firebird · 01-02-2008, 05:37 AM

Yes, it's a Corssica. OBD2 swap and DHP for tuning.

Here's the prototype headers I built for it...

I love the second race in this video against the Mustang lol. The Corsica was spinning the first 100 feet, DR's didn't help much

...

Forced_Firebird · 11-02-2008, 06:54 AM

Man, what a sleeper. Any more plans for it, or is he happy with it?

It's got more, it just won't hook up after 9psi. He's going to have to modify the chassis and/or suspension to go faster :P

JwMonE99 · 11-10-2008, 09:45 PM

Damn, thats bad ass.
Great sleeper, go with water meth next...
