Cant wait to see it running.

Ah yes... theory of evolution: nitrous...supercharger...turbocharger.

Speaking of turbocharger... I was gonna use that one if you hadn't picked it up. It's a nice one. :nice:

[rtusnake]

What size is the turbo? 76?

[tayzoid1]

whats the plansfor the blower?

[BLOWN95GT]

It's a 76mm, the blower has already been sold.

Yea its pretty sweet, Kind of funny how its been on the car of three people I know and now After being rebuilt its going on mine. Reed is a very cool guy. Did he ever get any more oil drain fittings in?

[rj95svt]

Something told me a turbo was in the works. Cool project! Have you already got the hotside parts?

I've got everything except the wastegate, half the intake pipeing, mass air meter, injectors, and a good tune.

[rj95svt]

NICE!!!!! I can't wait to see the results

I called the machine shop today because it was only supposed to take one week to get the motor and stroker kit back, and now its going on three. They said there was a problem getting the right crankshaft for the 383w so they upgraded the 383 to a 408w stroker for the same price.

[coupe]

:metal: 408 FTW!

This thing dialed in is going to be a rocket.awesome!

Me to aparently the machine shop thinks otherwise. Still waiting on the motor

[BLOWN95GT]

So I talked to the machine shop today to see if any of the stroker kit parts had come in yet, and see what balance the motor was going to be. Well the guy says I need to bring him a cylinder head? He said they sent the wrong pistons and the only compression ratio pistons they had for the tw head was a 10.1 so now its gonna cost me more because they have to fly cut the piston for the valve relief. Im so pissed I feel like setting the car on fire and calling the insurance company. I payed $1900.00 + $200.00 for a 383 stroker kit with 8.1 or 8 1/2.1 compression for twisted wedge heads I specificly told the guy what heads I had because I knew he would have to get custom pistons. Well then the one week motor project hit a snag they couldn't find the right crank for the 383 so without my permission (not even a phone call) they take it upon themselves to change it to a 408 kit. The only way I found out is because I called to check on the parts myself. Now they got the wrong pistons and I have to pay more for the machine work and have the pistons re-balanced. One more setback and I may call it quits for good.:fuss:

[SlowJoe]

I would tell them to give my money back and call CHP. I would not pay for fly cutting! It was there screw up. Dont give up hang in there!

+1 it's their problem

[BLOWN95GT]

Yea I think I will call Probe Industries and CHP tomorrow and see what they can do for me. I may just get my money and block back and totaly go somewhere different. Seems like the best idea at the moment anyway.

[CrazyInBlack]

I have never had an engine built. But as far as general business practice it seems like this is their mistake and they should fix it.

[grabbinandstabbin]

who is doing you machine work/ building? would like to know. i have been told there is a guy in odenville that does good work.

[BLOWN95GT]

A machine shop in Leeds I will post there name up later but for right now I wouldn't go to Leeds AL. For machine work.

[BLOWN95GT]

Talked to the machine shop today, told them to send the stroker kit back and I will be there when they open tomorrow to get my money and block. I called PROBE INDUSTRIES and got a price on a stroker kit, $1,689 for the 408 stroker probe kit with free balancing and 9.1 compression. Is 9.1 compression good for a turbo motor? I also called the machine shop that has done all of my past headwork he is going to bore,notch,balance, and blueprint my motor for what the other place was going to charge to bore the block, and flycut the pistons.
Should I get the internal balanced kit or the 28oz. kit? or does it really matter? I have a Fidanza aluminum flywheel and have to order a new friction insert so only thing I would have to buy is the harmonic balancer.

[grabbinandstabbin]

on the balancer i would say go 0 balance. but that is my opinion. for the balance on the crank, rods and pistons there is a guy in anniston named ed chandler that has done a couple balance jobs for me in the past and did me a dang good job at a fair price. i have always been told not to buy a balanced kit. i was told it is a waste of money and that it would need to be rebalanced anyway. i also found that it was cheaper to buy the unbalanced kit and pay him to balance it that it was to buy the balanced kit. lmk if you need his number. he only charged me 125 to balance everything but that was several years ago.

Probe has a deal going on right now if you buy a stroker kit from them you get the balance for free, but I am going to have the new machine shop do a blueprint and balance job to make sure everything will hold together with no vibration, what is a good harmonic balancer to get? he is going to balance the kit with the harmonic balancer, flywheel, and clutch assymbly.

[coupe]

If you have money to burn, get an ATI, Innovators West, Fluidamper, etc..

On a budget, I like the Romac Balancers. I got my Romac from AD Performance but I think you can get it through CHP/Probe as well. :nice:

Yea I was looking at the ATI, and the Romac just havn't made up my mind. is 9 to 1 a good compression ratio for a turbo car?

[SlowJoe]

U have to thank is it 9 to1 with piston at 0 deck? How deep is ur piston going to be at tdc? 9 to 1 will work good but u will need to stay on top of the tune. As i have been told. What cc dish are they?

[nxcoupe]

yeah, have to measure how far down in the hole they are at tdc and then you can always run a thicker cometic head gasket to drop it down a bit more. Intercooled turbos are easier on parts, but they are still hotter than an intercooled centri blower.

[SlowJoe]

I would keep a .045 quanch pad.

[coupe]

9:1 is about perfect. I am around 8.5:1 and wish I had gone a little more due to the smallish cubes.

With today's better cylinder heads and turbo-cams, I would not hesitate to run 10:1 and shoot a little methanol if I had to run a little more boost to make the power.

Really? I would think you'd have to pull so much timing out that it would leave a lot on the table? What about using E85 with that compression ratio?

[BLOWN95GT]

Really? I would think you'd have to pull so much timing out that it would leave a lot on the table? What about using E85 with that compression ratio?
The lowest compression pistons probe industries has are 9 to 1 and they will have to cut a valve relief in them for the trick flow heads. I really want to be able to run pump gas mixed with a little race gas. Looking to make at least 650rwhp.

[nxcoupe]

Well I am a probe dealer and all their pistons come either TFS or inline valve config, or they come with both if they are an older set. Why do they have to cut valve reliefs? Did they get the wrong kit or just out of the pistons? If I can help out in any way let me know. If you had a larger combustion chamer you could knock it down some, but as matt said, don't think it's an issue anyway.

I haven't ordered the kit yet I talked to a guy named Eric last week I saw the twisted wedge pistons but Eric said the lowest compression ratio for them was 10 to 1 so he was going to take a different piston that was 9 to 1 and cut the valve reliefs in them for the twisted wedge 61cc heads.

[nxcoupe]

Ok, so you talked to Eric? At Probe? Well they are just out of the pistons then. he isn't going to charge you for the valve reliefs is he?

[BLOWN95GT]

Yea he said something about it was going to cost me another $100+ to have the valve reliefs cut maybe you can hook me up with a deal!

[nxcoupe]

I would be happy to see what I can do for you yeah. What exactly do you want kit wise? I need cubes, forged or cast, H or I, bore size, and I know you want a dished piston with TFS valve reliefs in it.

Want 408 stroker kit for a 94 lightning stock block that will hold 700hp with - 9 to 1 compression, 4.030 bore, forged crankshaft, h-beam rods, neutral or internal balance and yes dished piston for the tfs. I think Eric said the kit would be 1638 + the money for the piston cuts, and free balancing

[nxcoupe]

Didn't get a chance to call had a bunch of stuff come up, but I will call today for sure.

[BLOWN95GT]

Didn't get a chance to call had a bunch of stuff come up, but I will call today for sure.
No problem. I still can't make up my mind DSS racing has a kit they say is good for over 1000hp in a street car. Its a 408/410 ci. x7 with their patented x groove to keep from fuel wash down and cylinder wall scratches. I got them talked down from $2200 to $1999 out the door shipping and all and theres will be 9.3 to 1 compression with my heads and no flycutting.

[nxcoupe]

Well, DSS is one of the places I was thinking of checking on, I sell their stuff too. I can look at both for ya and see.

[BLOWN95GT]

[BLOWN95GT]

It is still a 10.5 inch but it has brass pucks on both sides, I told the guy I wanted something that would be good for between 650-750hp. He built this and told me to make sure I had plenty of room between me and the car in front of me before I take off, and be ready for the dash to land in my lap. I got a really good deal on it. As far as the back pocket goes I really hope this turbo stuff is all its talked up to be.

[BLOWN95GT]

UPS just made the parts pile bigger!!:banana:

[BLOWN95GT]

got most of the motor together, got the pistons and rods in. Went to install the main girdle and discovered I got a 351w girdle and 302 studs so just put a couple of bolts in the oil pan for now. I got the cam in and the heads on and discovered I need longer pushrods so the valve covers are just sitting but Im almost there just need a few more parts.
Here is some more eye candy for ya.

Definetly not Photoshop I have the bloody busted knuckles to prove it.
The k-member actually sat the motor a couple of inches back further and with the solid motor mount on one side and the custom platform the block bolts directly to on the other I don't think I will have to worry about any flex.

new engine dirty engine bay:jester:

Ive been meaning to clean up my "company car" both times Ive been on vacation this month and haven't done it. Ive wanted to strip the parts T-bird that I have and its been too cold for that. It rains on my normal off days so Ive just said F it to working on or cleaning cars until it gets warmer lol.

Update Little more progress this last weekend.
Got the turbo piping all hooked up.

Have a few more little things to do but hopefully it will be running next time I have a chance to make it up to the shop and work on it.
Then I get to deal with the wiring nightmare that you see in the pics.

What do you mean?
Just because it runs doesn't mean its finished. I still have to hook up the brake lines, clean up some wiring, get it running good enough to drive and put some street miles on it, get a front end alignment because of the k-member swap and running the foxbody a-arms, I plan on re-doing the fuel system with a sump tank and a1000 instead of the intank and external and then maybe a custom tune.

[SlowJoe]

not much huh:jester:

LOL! Yea my brother...He's got a little grudge goin with a civic coupe streetcar that's suposed to have around 700hp...Tell him to watch out for the "flyby" after busting the civic's ass... Even "big" horsepower ricers like to do it. :rolleyes:

Oh no he's not driving my car! He has a buddy that has the civic who claims it's gonna spank the stang so they both put some money on my car vs the civic. I love how they come out of the woodworks looking for you when your car is nowhere near finished but when your driving around town looking for them and pull up beside them at the light they shake their head no.

[blue90lx]

nice car sounds real good man

[BLOWN95GT]

Finnaly got to drive it and it runs great:banana:. I was very suprised at the way it runs with it not having a tune. It runs rich but until I get some miles on it I think it will be ok. The turbo spools really fast and at 6psi. just bliping the throttle it feels stronger than the supercharger did at 10psi. THANKS MATT AND REED (SUPERNATURAL TURBO)! the turbo sounds wicked just cruising around the streets listening to it spool up.

[BLOWN95GT]

another major setback. The car started smoking on the number 4 cylinder so I towed it to my shop in Pell City and pulled the motor and trans back out pulled the oil pan, cylinder head and number 4 piston to inspect and Im pretty sure I had a valve guide go bad. So I was going drop the cylinder head at the machine shop last week after work and start getting the new gaskets and stuff together when DISASTER STRUCK.
For those of you who don't know and have not seen pics Pell City was hit by a tornado and my shop got hit pretty hard here are some pics.

It was the first time I have seen it without all of the gritty grimmy stuff all over it and every body panel is dinged and scratched so it looks like it will get a brand new paint job.

I somehow forgot about the storm pics of this car. That sucks, bud.

[ncontt]

I say run it just like it looks...that's how I'm going to run my fairmont....not going to wash it, nernt....just plain, nasty sleeper look... (hopefully)

[BLOWN95GT]

Stopped by the body shop today to check on the progress and took a few pics. The top of the car is going to be sanded all the way to the metal and be completly redone to get rid of the crows feet that showed up and as you can see I have decided to go wingless this time. Now there is about a week worth of block sanding to be done and brand new fresh paint job!

Damn, it is going to be a brand new car.

[BIGDATOWN]

So jealous!

[BLOWN95GT]

:soapbox:Not much progress has been made in the past month. The car has been painted three times in the last month and a half thanks to some a55 hole walking through the bodyshop parking lot and of all 100 cars in the parking lot pick my fresh painted, wetsanded, and buffed mustang to run their key around! this is the car as it looks now if they can just keep someone from keying the car this time I may get to pick it up next week.

[BLOWN95GT]

I got the call this afternoon the car is ready to pic up so I will be going to get her in the morning.:banana::banana2:

[rtusnake]

Good deal. Should be running by next week? :jester:

[BLOWN95GT]

Good deal. Should be running by next week? :jester:
Hopefully the motor will be going in sunday since its the only free day I have to work on it this coming weekend. I went last weekend to the shop and degreased the engine, pressure washed all of the sandy grit out, blew all of the water out, put the new rings on the piston of the cylinder that was burning oil and added the new windage tray that I bought. Here are the pictures I took this morning after I loaded it up the bumper was in the car, I didn't want to rip the bumper off the car trying to load it on the trailer.

Lookn darn good!
:metal:

[Tom Yancy]

Looks great. I like it better without the spoiler. Glad you didn't lose your car to the April 27th tornados, or worse.

[BLOWN95GT]

Finally picked her up from the body shop again for the last time.
Drove it to my shop yesterday and installed the new clutch and pressure plate so I guess I'll put a few miles on it and see if it is going to hold up to the boost.

[BLOWN95GT]

The strongest one my buddy at automotive friction could build me. Im going to break it in a little then see how well it will hold up to boost. If it does not hold I guess I will buy a spec stage 3+ or stage 4.

[SlowJoe]

SPEC=axles:jester: but cant beat them!

I've got some 31 spline hardened axles from superior axle and a 31 spline strange enginering full race spool in the garage just waiting to get some c-clip eliminators to install them.

Finally got the other box I was waiting on. PTC converter and turbo spline input shaft.

[BLOWN95GT]

Oh yea I was going to ask does anyone know of a good trans cooler to get? I plan on driving it on the street some so need a good cooler.

[rtusnake]

Here is the one i'm using. It was the largest I could find.

[SlowJoe]

I dont know if you know it or not just make sure you hook the feed line to the top inlet. Just a heads up. Cant wait to see some numbers from this thing!

[BLOWN95GT]

Finally got the stang together and running again with the glide in it. Have a few more things to do in the interior if I can find another black center console. Going to buy a pro bandit shifter when I get rid of the studebaker and need another console to cut for the shifter. but other than that it is running again and it is a totaly different ride for sure! Actually almost scared me.

[SlowJoe]

Track time?

[BLOWN95GT]

Still a few little things to do. Trans temp guage, new front tires, c clip elim's, and get the trailer ready it needs some new shoes to just in case something gives. May end up having to get some different tires for the rear the et streets don't like the glide much:jester:.

[BLOWN95GT]

got a few more goodies in today so I guess I will be going to the garage to work on her some more tomorrow.

[ncontt]

WOW, that looks pretty good!! Was that the factory hole?

[BLOWN95GT]

It was the factory hole for the ashtray. About time I used it for something. I'm going to remove the leather boot from the factory shifter bezel and install a piece of aluminum diamond plate.

[BLOWN95GT]

Now I gotta figure out how I'm going to get a speedo to work with a Chevy powerglide.
