  1. im trying to get a L series engine right now for my 240 that is already built. pistons, rods, so on and so forth. i "believe" it is still a 2.8 liter. what i have been kicking around is turboing said motor. before you go off and say yes. the motor is 10.0:1 c/r. while this doesn't scare me in a sense of pushing 19 lbs down the perverbial throttle body on a modern engine. it does leave me a bit squeemish to do it to this engine.

     

    if i were to do this. im not sure if it would be worth going efi on it, or building a surge tank for the su's and grinding a set of custom needles to follow the boost curve.

     

    more or less throwing idea's out there for people to come back with something logical.

  2. went out to my storage place last night and grabbed the su carbs i had on my 3.1 engine, along with the n36 runners and stuff. now. these cars were modded for the 3.1 sm needles and minor porting/smoothing done. i know these carbs work well. im just thinking in the back of my head that they might be overkill on a bone stock 2.4 liter.

     

     

    yay or nay on this idea?

  3. Bryan, nice looking car. Once I get new injectors my car will be road ready. We should cruise.

     

    i'll be changin out the radiator, fan, carbs, manifolds and things this weekend. maybe i can go wot in it and not watch my money be puked out the back of the car

     

    :D

     

    im up for a cruise. compared to my ss/sc this thing is dog ass slow

  4. spinning perhaps.

     

    not reaching full boost in 2nd and 3rd. iat's affect ignition timing, not afr.

     

    i take it the fuel side is set the same afr regardless of boost levels in the fuel side?

     

    had a similar problem in a twin turbo lincoln i was tuning with megasquirt. small bumps in the fuel map under boost would create not so pleasent results

  5. im spinning an eaton m62 to squeeze out 19 psi on my ecotec motor right now. with the aid of water injection at least. cooling the intake charge, and the bearings at the same time. there is always a way to overspin a blower. you just have to find the means of keeping thigs cool in the mean time. there was a guy here in kc with a tahoe runnin 11psi on his whipple on the 5.3 motor with water injection, and it lived very well.

  6. Cars coming along good. I had exhaust put on today. Real happy with how it sounds and how it looks. I have the dash out of the car and all new stewart warner white face gauges installed. Silent had starter the gauge install. Looks nice. Gotta get the dash back in it next time I have some time to work on it. Little more wiring to clean up. I also have a new heater core for the car. Looks like a total pain in the azz. The streets were dry when I drove it to the exhaust shop. Car seems real quick. Gotta do some tuning and get the car the rest of the way together. Cant wait till spring. Paint and body next.

     

    sweeeeeeettttttttttttttt!

     

    i warned ya about the core though, heheheh.

    you will probably read this before i get a phone call. all the gauges are run through the factory plugs behind them as far as power, ground, and light switch power {for the lights}.

     

    if you need to get some dyno time, call me. i'll set something up for ya

    :)

  7. Beautiful! That's the color I want, nice.

     

    the car is many shades of blue. smurf color if you will. with some surface rust. used to be silver

     

    :)

     

     

    p.s. the car does just fine in the snow. when i owned it. i never got stuck in it and i drove it year round with the 3.1 in it

  8. the z was loaded up on a trailer, to become a real hybrid. it stayed local, so i will still have a hand in it's creation, but i am no longer an owner of it. sold the rolling chassis, still have the motor collecting dust in storage.

     

     

    a piece of me died inside when i saw it roll away
