Wohoo, finally got my turbo back from being rebuilt.. ( new seals, 360* thrust bearing, cleaned up)

Built my new stainless crossover, which DOES NOT leak one bit, and fits much much better then the old one. Just gota re-plumb the wastegate outlet back into the downpipe, and bolt the shi* back on, and im hitting the track this Sunday! at OSW.. Think i got my tune to being close.. finally figured out how to scale my 200% load figures down. Im stoked! Il post more pics tonight, when i have it all bolted back on.. ANd if this threads still around come Sunday, then maybe il have some decent times to post.. :D

Remember im still running the stock AODE transmission. Most i can luanch at is 1600rpm, its going to bog off the line, no matter what.. so dont expect any crazy 1/4 times,lol. Im mostly just looking for a decent MPH, which should show the potential.

I wish you nothing but the best of luck at the track :nice:

When you get back to the house I hope the letters AODE have not rearranged themselves to spell DOA!

Dude, your webpage totally rocks!!! I love this concept, has anyone else done this? I hope everything works out for you! i really wanna see pictures of the complete setup, so post them!!! You're the man! :hail2:
 
Im not worried about the tranny failing.. The thing has held up to more abuse then i could ever throw at it, for the last 4 years. It see's roughly 700 ft lbs of torque at the flywheel and still shifts strong. I just wish i had the extra $550 right now for a good convertor.

Il post pics asap, let the brother borrow the camera for a day.

130mph? I kinda doubt that, im thinking more along the lines of 118-125.

Remember im only making 475-550rwhp depending on the boost. And im running an automatic.

I think you are right for the first time out but with some more time tinkering with the turbo I think you could do it. You definately have the setup for it.
