:rockon:
what compression ratio James?
Stephan
-
looking good james.
-
Is that an AJ system?
-
Cool Dude... :rockon: How did the hoses work out?
-
Hoses worked out perfectly - I have a bunch of fittings I ended up not needing but oh-well.
Nope not an AJ system - The carb originally started on one of his systems and the breather box came from him. I pieced this together myself with help from Jim at Airspeed.
Compression is 8:1
After the weekend I will need to go back and redo a few things and fab up a proper exhaust but she is good to go!
-
Nice job James, How much boost you planning on running?
-
Wow man! that looks sooo mean! I need to start planning my Type 4 turbo build :rockon:
or maybe I should just try to get my NA Type4 even running properly..... :ph34r:
-
Looking good dude! But is it a runner yet?????

Well James I am glad you have mastered photo shop.... Dood that is gonna be so Loud... and uhmmm how does the decklid fit on?
-
Awesome ! That'll get you to the golf course lickety split! ;)

DECKLID - WE DON\"T NEEEEED NO STINKIN' DECKLID!
No time to fab up a mount for it so going without this weekend.
Planning on below 10psi on the street.
-
Looks good James!! :rockon: :rockon: Consider water/alky injection. www.coolingmist.com are the systems I use.
One main line in, then T it to each side of the end castings and wallah! Done deal. You can run up to 2 more psi on the street and keeps that intake charge nice and cool and that cumbustion chamber nice and clean for an effeciant burn.
What cam and heads you running??
-
What cam and heads you running??
stock :lol: :lol: :lol:
-
it is really not that loud. i think james will post a video after he changes his panties, and stops shaking!
-
Yup video footage was taken of the initial startup - not the shakedown lap around the block :ph34r: It has a tad bit more pull than it used too!!!!!!!!!!
Matt - Heads are 044's 42x37.5 with a nice P/P job by Pat Downs. Cam is a Pauter custom grind with 1.1:1 rockers :)
I was suprised how quite it was at idle with the shorty pipe, I expected alot louder - but at around 5k HOLY SHIZNET!
James is right, I was a bit shaken when I returned from the lap, had to have a beer pronto to cool the nerves!
-
So if you run 10-12 pounds, and I run some then...... :huh:
Wanna Race? Looser buys hamburger and fries from the concession at the race track for the winner.
We'll show these guys that you don't need a stroker to have fun. And hopefully I'll prove you can get a singleport into the 12's at 100+
