Re: Just another blow thru MP-T70 build thread ***NEW PICS ON PAGE 4***
I figured that you did something like that with the hood, I was wondering what you did to keep the nose from flapping around since that is usually lined up with the brace mounted to the front of the core support and the flat panel over that, which you don't have...
I'm a bit surprised that you're convinced that you're running out of turbo so soon, people have gone a lot faster with even old school 76mm turbos. I'm considering trying a holset HX52 that has a 68mm inducer that I hope to run faster than that...

Car is finally all one color again 
The new engine is pretty much ready to be put in the car. I think i will slap some headers on it for a few miles to brake it in a bit... we'll see lol

I found a twin setup hotside cheap, I'm thinking about modifying it for a single. It seems much more sensible, what made you go with a single?

Re: Just another blow thru MP-T70 build thread ***NEW PICS ON PAGE 4***
i dont know where i left off but the engine is done and has been for months. I installed the water meth kit, havent gotten to use it.i am building a th350 for it with manual valve body and 4000 stall converter. and spohn xmember with mounted tq arm, also went ahead and installed a new thermostat housing with a rad cap since the thermostat is the highest point of the cooling system and i was never able to put enough liquid in it therefore causing some overwarming issues. lol i also installed the lower radiator bottom piece so it should never go past 200 degrees lets hope. other than that its been sitting at my parents, i need to fix the fuel sender unit cuz its not letting me know how much gas i have left in the tank. Havent done a whole lot since ive been helping my brother out with his '73 formula with a 427 bbc

It's just street car but the th350 is better for racing than a 700r4 and my tranny was acting up I'm getting the 700r4 rebuilt by the same guys if you are interested in it they claim it could handle up to 750 up and that it was my fault i burnt the clutches by not having the tv cable properly adjusted

Re: Just another blow thru MP-T70 build thread ***NEW PICS ON PAGE 4***
It's been cold and the track is still closed do I decided to relocate the transmission oil cooler and put a fan on it on a temPerature switch I also went ahead and got some tubular a-arms and I'm also doing ls1 brake upgrade and my friend bought new wheels for his 4th gen trans am ws6 so I traded him my adjustable tq arm since I replaced it with a dmember mounted one for the th350 and 100 bucks I thinking was a decent wheels they are 17x9?? I'm keeping the 15" with drag radial for the track and the 17" are for the streets

Re: Just another blow thru MP-T70 build thread ***NEW PICS ON PAGE 4***
I've been driving it around a lot and it runs great. It never goes past 180 degrees anymore so I'm happy now!!! the tranny works great ive been just blowing thru the converter like crazy it's no fun. I'm sending it back to TCI and they're restalling it for 150 so that's not bad I just have to take the tranny back out... Oh well
