LOL. I really didn't think anything of it. I only TIG weld so if I welded every Buick converter that went out the door I'd be a year behind. The...
Here's where you said this guy claimed to build the high end converters for PTC. I'm simply trying to keep the facts straight. Your obviously...
You do realize the only difference in the 700 converter you say was pictured is the spline count in the turbine? Majority of the converter pieces...
Please post those pics ASAP so I can call this clown out. This is the same guy who claimed he built the high end converters for PTC and now he has...
It's always best to run a converter to see how it performs with a combo change before making a change. A 67 with a mostly stock engine won't spool...
Let's think about this for a minute. You have basiclly stock cubic inches, much bigger heads, much bigger turbo, bigger charge pipes, bigger...
With Alan's car and the GT47-88 I was at full power at 1.2 seconds......right at the 60' mark. With the 80mm I had it all in at .7 seconds. That...
The bad thing about it is traction control wasn't used here and boost control means getting it in as fast as you can. JK has now been faster on the...
At that power your good using the non lock up. To determine if the converter is working good with your combo you need to datalog passes at the...
If you had some track data to evaluate how the converter works on the gear changes with some boost put to it, we could make a determination on how...
I don't see where anything should be changed. Your initial flash is at 2600 rpm which is where you want to cruise down the highway at. It's going...
A small single will support those goals so anything with twins will be dinky sized. Twin stock turbo's will make enough to break the parts you have.
Man that's close. I do feel you'll be ok though. If you get some noticeable pump whine you may need to have some height taken off the converter.
Nope. Not possible. Ha!!!
I haven't scaled the car yet. That will be the last thing I do once I get fuel and water in the systems. Before it was 3450 with 54% on the nose. I...
The intercooler is sitting in the middle of the car where the back seat used to be. The tubing to support the intercooler is built to enclose the end...
It's been a very long road but the pieces are finally coming back together. I've changed directions a couple times over the last 2 years to make sure...
Just being honest here. If you don't want to bore the motor or change compression and things needed to work with a turbo, this isn't a project you...
This sums it up. Even a large gate in the wrong location will work poorly. The bigger the gate, the less boost you can run for better control but...
The 9.5 LU can couple at 5% if the rpm and the hp are in the right ranges for the spec'd stall speed. The issue is the Buick motors rarely run in...
