Re: Come Check out my Weiand Supercharged Firebird !

The supercharger itself was $2200, the fuel rails were $279, the throttle linkage was $242, and each carb was $361 piece. Then There's all the little things . . . .

Why on earth would you think the car was on fire??

Since the engine bay is painted black and looks like it is chipping, that chipped look makes it look like it was fire damage.

Re: Come Check out my Weiand Supercharged Firebird !

Hi Bermudez!!!

This week Im on vacation, so Ive been really working hard on my two projects. On the v6 turbo, Ive created the drain for the oil of the turbo in the oil pan; that worked cause the car no longer smokes. I finally got all the bolts tight on the header, however the engine is still loud;guess it's just natually loud. Ive changed all the flex piping to solid piping, however I ran out of 90* couplers, Im having some shipped to me today. by tomorrow I will do the measurements on that 90* elbow I have in the exhaust and we'll see what we can do about it. I do really need your help about one thig though:

I have an internal wastegate that has two ports. I have a manual boost controller that has two ports and I have a T port fitting. Go on ebay and put this number in the search, 370026622302, That is what I have. What goes where!??!
