Go the pass side kind of figured out...




Gate goes here someplace :


I'll make the Xover pipe go through the loop in the exhaust there, then right after I'll put that wastegate there as well, so they'll be kind of beside each other with a straight dump towards the ground... I think the twinscroll housing, dual gates and headers are all going to fit.

ALSO, this came in, with the M10 nozzle :

 

Pics soo far, pass side header (again, had to re-work it) Note 2" vband clamp



Dual 38mm's :



It all kinda fits :



Shakedown cruise coming soon...



That's all for now.

 

I'm diaspointed...

That beautiful passenger side header and then cobbling up a driver side manifold that is upside down so the ports won't line up right....

Shame, shame....

:P

 

what ? lol Both sides have wicked awsome headers. haha

 

I see a header in there, lol. I believe Mars was showing the cast mani compared to his new header

 

Haha! The Punisher.. Nice!

 

I know this is a noobie question; but your car is still RWD correct? I want to do this swap myself considering it's not FWD

 

yes.........................

 

Thanks! XD

 

Harness all loomed / cleaned up.



Meth pump, nice and low for a good prime.



But, does it run ??

Code59 + 60# injectors + 55 psi fuel pres + 216/224 (0.050) cam =

somewhat of an idle.

I just stuck a bullet muffler on there for the moment for the neighbours, its kinda late... HAHA.

So there you have it folks, just more tunning ahead, but I'm now confident we'll get the thing dialed in.

More mail today :


Watch out V8 / 3800 cars...

 

Sweet.

 

Woot! Keep it coming

 

Is it me or weren't you going to twin turbo?

 

Nah, one of these GT4088's should do it.

 

Found a really decent local Camaro board and a guy had all kinda goodies for sale... haha I bought some of course.

Harwood Hood, pin on ready for paint.



Edelbrock 3" catback.



Muffler it came with (for sale)



Muffler I am going to use, much lighter and better flowing, The turbo should quiet it down enough.



Aluminum driveshaft



Cragar 14X7's. Painted them flt. blk. Going to order some BFG radial TA's 245/60 in back 205/70 up front.



That is all.

 

love the cragars, ive got some on my car, but theyre chrome. i actually wish i could find ia pair of stockers like you have right now

 

So, I put a few miles on the car this week..

Ran into some issues, small stuff that I'll fix next week.

Waterpump is leaking from the weep hole. New one comes in tomorrow. Old one's already removed.
LC-1 Wideband stopped working all of a sudden. (first problem I had with it since 2006) I'll buy another one I guess.
My trans cooler line has a small leak.

Car is WAY WAY too damn loud. I made 3" catback with a single bullet muff to replace the sidepipe, but I haven't heard it yet. It'll likely be pretty loud, still, but should be far better than the no cat no muffler sidepipe. haha

Next up is to make a 3.5" downpipe, to 3.5" cutout, then choke that down to 3" catback, quiet on the street, high flow for the track.

Other than that, it runs very well.

Has roughly as much power at 6 psi now than it did at 11 psi before. The 65mm turbo only spools a bit after 4000RPM. Which is kinda high, but it blows the tires away when it does spool (I've only used 6 psi so far) I think it will be down right violent at 14+ psi. (when the turbo is in the efficient range)

Time will tell.

Also this turbo is LOUD when it spools, the BOV is freaking crazy loud now, there's a ton of airflow going on. Not going to be a sleeper that's for sure.

 

Does it need to be? If it's got a good exaust note who cares?

 

As long as it doesn't look the part, who cares? Mash the go-stick and hang on.

 

Exhaust semi-complete - Will be 3.5" from the downpipe, to a 3.5" cutout, then choke down to this Edelbrock 3" mangled catback, bullet muffler no cat.



New drag tires :



Centerline knockoffs, 15X8.5, fit real nice.




That's all for now, been driving it around gingerly, it pulls HARD when the turbo spools. (around 4100 - 4300 RPM) 6 psi so far. (My EBC is off for the moment, till I get a tune)

Very fun right now. Needs ALOT more tunning though. Slowly getting it there...

 

I feel the need to keep my V6 and slap a turbo to it. Looks awesome man!

 

3.5" downpipe. (ahh, look how cute the old small 3" one is)



Note the cutout plate to be welded in and an electronic 3.5" cutout installed for when immidiate spool is required. (and the radio's not playing a good song)

I was going to go with 4" but there's only about a 40* angle in the downpipe and with the cutout open it's about 3 feet of 3.5" pipe. I'd say that'll support pretty much whatever the motor will be able to put out. HAHA.

 

Tastes great, less filling!

 

If you haven't bought a WBO2 yet, look at getting the DIY_SLC from 14point7.com I have one that I use for tuning other's cars, since it has a built in display (that can be removed if you don't want it), and a about 7 or 8 other inputs, including RPM, manifold pressure EGT, and 4 or so 0-5V inputs. It also costs less than the LC-1 and is made by a guy in T.O. I picked mine up from him at his home.

 

Ahh crap, couple days too late, I just bought an AEM itll be here in 3 days.

 

Sorry man.

 

I used mine for about 2yrs without issue, now the display quit working a cple months ago, it's the v1.04 (old school one).

 

Yeah, my SLC is for tuning other cars, since it has the display built in, with optional inputs.

My LC1 is going on 3 years installed in my car, and when it dies, I'll replace it with an SLC.

6 psi, third gear in the rain. lol. fun fun.

 

Nice.

 

I just caught up with this thread; nice!

Is it done now, for the most part? Any other problems or mods needed?

 

I blew my engine. I wiped the locating dowel off the cam, lost valve timing and bang carnage all around. New motor is going in tonight and I'm running the 1/4 on sat. Should have updates soon.

 

AAAAAHH!

That is NOT the response I was expecting?!!

Glad to hear that its on its way back to the land of the living.

 

OK, we are back on the road and 1/4 drags on Sat and Sunday, I'll post the results... I'm shooting for a decent time...

 

*like* Where will you be racing?

 

Up north Earlton, ON

http://www.traccracing.ca/tracc2/

 

Ok, well here are the blowup details, I was driving to breakfast on a local road, 18 psi... hahaha Crunch, bang, snap, coast into a shopping mall parking lot. Damage report :

Noticed all my pistons had been hit by the valves, which I found a little wierd...... turns out my camshaft locating dowel was wiped off the cam, lost my cam timing. The valves hit the pistons and bam caused it to blow a rod.

I may have gotten a bad / weak cam ? The cam bolt was good and tight when it came apart, and when I did the original install it was torqued to spec.., so I know all that was tight.

Also the newer style of timing set was holding up great. Gears and chain showed virtually no wear. This is the tiny chain that would come stock on a '06 G6.



Picked up 2 more motors, the price was right at 400$ for the pair. 72,000 and 76,000 Kilometers.



More pics here of how this really buggered up EVERYTHING. lol.

Pan, I just about re-used it because it already has the #10 oil drain fitting..., then noticed the crack... see beside my bottle opener skeleton fish there...



Inside :



See the pin stayed attached to the gear...



Bent Valves :



and results from weekend racing :



A picture of a picture that I bought from the track photographer...

Vids to come.

The racing was rained out today. Last night made it to 8th place but lost due to a -0.012 red. I staged a little deeper than usual to cut a real close one and well, I shouldn't have done that. It bit me.

Car ran a best of 12.3 @ 5 psi. I tried it at 8 psi and it still went 12.3, but was missing and running like crap due to too much fuel. At 5 pounds it ran just awsome though.

I ran without a hood cause it was flopping around at 100+MPH. Everyone that walked by the car stopped and looked in, car turned alot of heads cause it's not the same old SBC camaro... Can't wait to really unleash the potential of it.

Hooks hard, no wheelspin at all cause the turbo takes a while to spool.

I'll have vids later on.

 

That's a wicked picture.

I'd love to get a pair of 3500s for $400...

 

DAMN. That settles it. If I get another 3rd-Gen Camaro, I'm doing a turbocharged 3500 swap. That's some AWESOME **** man!

 

The more I look at this thread the more I want to drop my 3500 into my Datsun....

Maybe over the winter if dude still wants to buy my engine.... Hmmm....

 

NO HOOD, lol



Vs my buddy :


IN CAR vid :

 

i love the godsmack blaring n the in car video

 

congrats man and awsome pic.
now i have a new goal to shoot for considering u will be in the 11's once u get that tune sorted out .

my 3.1 is close but im pretty sure im at the limit without running obscene boost levels.my 3.0 should be a much better match

btw u now hold the record for the fastes v6 powered 3rdgen fbody excluding the tta. the previous record was 12.4@ 118 so again congrats

 

Nice....

 

I actually really like how your car sounds, nice. You'll run faster times with a hood on too

 

Maybe the 60v6 record, there's the white 3rg gen Camaro with a Series II 3800 in the 10's.

 

well he obviously ment 60v6 lol

 

So I went to Sparta for test and tune, got a bit quicker. 11.92, 12.02, 12.06 @ 8 PSI. Ran a couple of 12.2's at 5 psi.... All around 113-115MPH

I tried 15 psi and ran 12.0. It's cutting out really bad under higher boost. I think my plugs are fouled. The tune is better now, but still, there's a missfire pretty much anytime over 8-9 psi and it snuffs the spark. It never used to do that... Maybe my ign module is ****ed ? Im not sure. I'll figure it out, then we'll get into the deep 11's

Likely the plugs...

 

What gap/heat range are you running?

 

R42LTS 0.028" gap
