Turbocharged GA 9PSI - HX40 turbo - Page 2

During hard acceleration, the gas moves backwards in the tank, which could account for the drop in fuel guage. Depending on where the float is located.

H.O. Driver · 10-29-2008, 08:55 AM

The floats are located in the front of the tank with the pick up. Luanch too hard with not much fuel and you starve the pump

Thats moving though, get a GT speedo and it won't look like you are going so fast, thats why all my vids suck

JK, get those lights fixed and start pushing that thing!!!

Pretty impressive

H.O. Driver · 10-29-2008, 08:59 AM

after watching the vid a few times, I have to say your top end kind of sucks. It took 5 seconds to get from 100-120. I know its only a SE trans and the gearing sucks but I think you are running out of fuel or something. It just seems like once you hit 3rd gear it falls flat on its face like a N/A grand am does....

angrysk8r · 10-29-2008, 01:57 PM

meh, and no i'm not running out of fuel....

also the lights are related to the missing egr valve and a bad wheel speed sensor, so i don't really care about them

angrysk8r · 10-29-2008, 02:02 PM

also...it pulls on ls1s sooo i wouldn't say the top end completely sucks....decent for a stock engine with a turbo slapped on

You sure about that?

This GT takes ~14 seconds to do 100-120

XtremeGaGt00 · 10-29-2008, 03:53 PM

im interested in seeing how you got 3in, mandrel bent exhaust from the turbo down to the rest of the exhaust?..id like to do that but im very limited and can only get 2.5 in there

creative engineering... you should see the4inch downpipe I'm going to be sticking in my ishbox.

cardude007617 · 10-29-2008, 06:52 PM

but theres moer room in a 4cyl engine bay that our 3400 engine bay....

McFlurrey06 · 10-29-2008, 07:26 PM

Down the firewall tunnel? I would think the room is about the same.

I actually have seen quite a few people going with the 3" downpipe and im hoping to do the same myself.

stewartfn18 · 10-29-2008, 08:01 PM

i think xtreme meant the whole exhaust, not just the dp.

Nick-G · 10-29-2008, 08:05 PM

^ I didn't even think about that. That actually makes a lot of sense

I don't know how you would make a full 3" exhaust work my plans where just to go 3" into a cut out. And after looking at angrysk8rs signature he just has an open downpipe.

Bingo. I don't see how finishing it to the back would be difficult though...

XtremeGaGt00 · 10-29-2008, 10:34 PM

i was talking about fishing it through the engine bay area...the rest of the car is a piece of cake...i may be rebuilding some turbo headers this winter..a y pipe and i wanna get a 3in d.p. off the turbo in there

Welp, he'll probably throw some pics your way once he reads this...

There's plenty of room for a 3inch exhaust from turbo to downpipe to the back of the car..............

GET CREATIVE!

XtremeGaGt00 · 10-30-2008, 05:58 AM

DAMN!...im gonna havta actually think about this

GT_turbo · 10-30-2008, 08:55 AM

Wow 12's right there. With a 2.1 60 ft and 100 mph in "low" 12's he should easily sweep up the cash. I call steep ass hill, I'm no dummy, cmon.
