RebekahsZ Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Put up or shut up, and never stop having fun; the first post after a dyno chart should be a timeslip! Eager to see another turbo build, but don't get stuck in the garage while the weather is nice and the tracks are open. How many weeks we got before the first snow, SunnyZ?

mattd428 Posted July 14, 2013 Author Share Posted July 14, 2013 So after a little trading I ended up with an ls6 intake thanks to DomZ. When I removed the old ls1 intake I found this nice little vacuum port on the back that wasnt blocked...................She runs better now.

Naptown Dave Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 I love it when I find dumb s**t I miss, I changed the oil pump in my 70 Camaro years ago and was about to refill with oil when I found the pan gasket laying on the cowl! When you go turbo you should sell me that LS6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattd428 Posted July 14, 2013 Author Share Posted July 14, 2013 When i go turbo the ls6 will go up for sale and replaced with ls2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domzs Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 When i go turbo the ls6 will go up for sale and replaced with ls2. No ! You need to give it back to me . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueshark123 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Why an ls2 intake? I've read that even though the ls2 is 90mm, the ls6 is still superior in an NA application and you won't see much of a difference in a boosted application.

SUNNY Z Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 I know several 1000+ whp boosted cars that get down through an ls1 intake. Really not an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebekahsZ Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 You sure as hello need to get on that turbo. I broke that driveshaft running piss-weak 7.2s. I was surrounded by boosted Mustangs running 5.3 to 5.8 carrying the wheels 3/4 down the track. If I could settle on drag racing ONLY, I would so do a SRA swap like you and get me some boost. Felt like the slowest car at the track. Shame I want to road race/ autocross the car too...will keep me mediocre at all... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattd428 Posted July 17, 2013 Author Share Posted July 17, 2013 This ls6 intake had some repairs done to it and I dont like it. Ls2 I can run 102mm throttle body and its direct bolt on. I dont need to switch intakes since its boost buuuuuuuuuut......................I want to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Im more of a highway racer against loudmouths. Kinda like the ws6 that was trying to show off for his girlfriend last weekend. He wasnt happy I let off a couple times so he could catch up.

Mikelly Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 The numbers to me mean absolutely nothing without the data. Matter of fact, the data is ALL I care about. The Data tells me how, when and where to apply the power. For example, In my dyno thread we noticed how we could gain .9 sesonds, POINT NINE from 2000-6000 RPM. That in a roadrace environment means the world. Not having the data to see what works and what didnt means everything. Power numbers??? I will pass, thanks. The numbers are kind of the point, no? While comparing numbers from different dynos can be somewhat pointless (or even ones from the same dyno at different times of year), using one dyno consistently to tune the numbers up is the whole point. So, while you may focus on the A/F and knock/timing, the numbers respond directly. But yeah, without an A/F readout you're just guessing.

RebekahsZ Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I think you said your vacuum port was open? Does that mean that your dyno day data was invalid? I bet that cost some power....love to see your new numbers. Go spend $500 on a dyno session just to satisfy my curiosity? Autocross is a blast in a wheelbarrow! But, I find different stuff broken afterward than I do drag racing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattd428 Posted July 19, 2013 Author Share Posted July 19, 2013 Yup i believe my previous dyno day is invalid considering the vacuum leak. A new dyno run would be $50 might do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
