zukiracer19 · 11-22-2009, 08:58 AM

I was just out there this morning because I have someone wanting to buy it like right now... I want to have it off by next weekened. Mom is complaining because we are short a car now again. If your complaining get out of my thread? I'm 100% serious this time.

Trying to get everything off.. suppose to be a rainy week so might slow me down, heres what i got off.

I will have everything in bags, bolt-wise labeled.

I hate to do it but I've been messing around with the idea so much I might as well do it and get it out of my hair.

scott_c83 · 11-24-2009, 10:53 AM

....so much for PA's only GAGT turbo... :tear:

You're not going to save up now? you can take over the legacy.

j/c, did the turbo assist in blowing the hg? I've been toying with the idea of going turbo, but it is a DD..I want to make sure it is reliable

SilverGAGT2002 · 11-24-2009, 04:22 PM

Im sure how he didnt have it tuned correctly had to do with the blown headgasket...

your going to want ARP head studs and better headgaskets anyways if your going to boost.. even better if you have forged pistons and rods..

grims01gt · 11-24-2009, 08:24 PM

I would rebuild the top end to support the turbo, I just want to make sure I can have a reliable DD with boost..I'll want to do the bottom as well, but I guess that depends on money at the time of build..

zukiracer19 · 11-24-2009, 08:38 PM

I blew the headgaskets when I was boosting 12 pounds with ZERO KR... at 11.8 A/F... ran like a raped ape... from if i mashed on it anywhere from 0-70 within there i would just spin with the LSD diff

How so? the maf was fairly off ... I retuned MAF my trims were damn near -3-+3 after i got a few logs finally saved... everything else was fine... i just upped my boost went from 6 to 8.. than 9... than i just left it at 12 after doing a scan.

I would worry more about your high mileage transmission. These trannys are weak as it is

SilverGAGT2002 · 11-25-2009, 05:48 AM

cometic head gaskets ftmfw!

Nick-G · 11-25-2009, 03:26 PM

I wouldn't worry about headgaskets it's not a very common problem with boosted 3400's.

zukiracer19 · 11-25-2009, 04:19 PM

No one wants this now? i mean seriously its off the car and ready to go... do i need to take more pics to show proof?

NUTT BAKED!

Also: thought about this myself

Welding the Piping together so no worry of blowing couplings off, never really was an issue, all the pipes are flared so I thought i'd just throw that out there.

zukiracer19 · 11-27-2009, 11:08 AM

I will get back to PM's wednesday, I will be leaving on a trip until than.
