lookin good man! I'm sure John and I can help you out when you do that tranny swap.

Sounds good to me, mine as well do it once the auto starts going out. We need to get a photoshoot and meet going

How much would you want for the wheels? I'm in Utah so shipping wouldnt be a ton.

Actually I'd be looking to trade for a diff set

That's a beautiful SS! Those wheels look great, I'd keep them on. Buy another set, dont trade em, sorry to anyone who wants them but I gotta say that color combo is sweet. Only things I would do is blackout the chrome accents with black tape and reroute the bov back into the intake after the maf. When your bov is atmospheric you lose metered air therefore you run rich everytime you release metered air. If you notice black smoke(or a rich smell) everytime you shift under boost this is why. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but this is what I found. Any turbo car using a MAF has this issue. I also get slightly annoyed by a loud bov, its cool at first cuz you can scare the crap outta streetwalkers . I may reroute my hks ssqv because it is driving me nuts its so loud.I have a standalone ECU that doesnt use a MAF so going atmospheric doesnt affect my fuel zones.

Turbo_carl- My first car was an 85 turbocoupe for 700$, love those old 2.3's. I rebuilt the motor 4 times by the time I was 17. Sounds like yours rips on E85! Are you on the turboford.org? Id love to check out your turbocoupe build if you have one. My dad and I just restored/rescued an 86 SVO mustang and we've done a few easy mods, its gives my 20g legacy a run for its money. Now he wants a Boport head so I have no chance

Nice SS, and those rims look sweet!

Thnx for the comments and suggestions! I do love my bov and the reactions ppl get, wanna get a sticker that says eat my blow off lol. Ya the wheels have been growing more and more on me everyday, still wanna get a nice set of 17s

Don't want to hijack the thread, but my turbo coupe build is here.

Wow wow wow, its been almost a year since I've updated this thread but that's prolly because I was sooo busy dumping repair money into it and now its offficially back on the road with a few more mods

After replacing a couple engine wiring harnesses, relays, spark and timing components and 4 months of not having my car here are some updates:

I finally started taking my car to Greg(slodrive) on here and his shop well Slodrive racing and I CANNOT be happier with him and his work on our tlegs!

Just got an aem wideband and blitz dual sbc installed, and replaced one wheel stud on 3 of my rims


Greg making wheel stud replacement look easy




Greg making custom bung for the wideband, shits thick!


Running a lil rich hehe

Here's a couple recent pics than the ones I have from a year ago







Found a convenient spot for my blitz ebc in the .5 din space

Aem wideband on left, prosport boost on right

I vant your vheels!

Hmm what's next? Window tint maybee! lol did you n greg figure out the rich problem?

Ya ill get window tint once winter is over for good. Won't go too dark, maybe 10% nope not yet, gonna pull some codes today and see whatsup. Once this blizzard is over I gotta to to pullnpay for some trim clips and a neutral switch sensor.

Lol I think if I had a dollar and hour of labor everytime sometime said that I coulda sti swapped this car already

My favorite new upgrade,worth every penny


I can put my entire hand on it after being driven for hours on end and my tmic stays cool to the touch everywhere

-I really like that pic as I am a rail fan also!

-Joe

I really need a turbo blanket. That one is way over my budget, sadly.

I love rail road pics,there are tons of good spots in larkspur

Ya Mike super pricey...more than I thought it was gonna be but now I know why! I think there are a few I saw on eBay ranging around 60-100, a lil cheaper than the dei

-I wanna get down to Palmer Lake this summer. Maybe we can meet up in the future and get some trains behind our cars.

-Joe

Im def down on the Palmer lake meet, its gorgeous up there and an easy drive in between north and south leggos

I want a DEI turbo blanket now.

Some pics with Greg's car at his shop slodrive

Need to put the picutres up of your intake. Why did you want to go back to the box? Seems like it is more restrictive now. I am currently doing my intake so some pics of the lines would help me out. Love your car!

Greg suggested I go back to stock box for running better/better power compared to the shitty spectre filter that was just soakin up hot engine air, I also had wanted to do it recently once I put my turbo blanket on... the box allows cooler air from the fender to go up through it and my butt dyno def feels more consistent power

Awesome thanks for the pictures. Abd yea I guess that makes sense
