    "Thermal Tuning"

    Here's a link that SHOULD be quite thought provoking to a draw-thru turbo guy. http://www.designengineering.com/products.html Just think of the possibilities:eek: This is along the lines (but different in many ways) of what I'm trying to put together. It can give you all a hint anyway;)...

    New web pages

    Here are some new web pages Tonya83T made for me. Mostly just some of my current & ex-rides. There's a shot of my alky kit & the future Fairlane induction (tho in beginning stages) on the main page. Scroll down for links to the other rides. I think there's one of the kid in there also. Main...

    PAINT, finally, PAINT!

    Tonya83T just got her car back from the autobody shop yestarday & it looks BEAUTIFUL!:cool: It still had the orig. paint on it before but it was badly weathered. They had to take it all the way down to metal to get rid of all the cracks. The lady (yes a girl painted it) that did it said the...

    Banks DT twin turbo 305

    Anyone have any info on this motor? It has twin draw thru turbo's fed by one Holley Dominator. The single carb. looks to be on a split plenum where two barrels feed each turbo. It is claimed to make 900HP from a Chev. 305:eek: This was during the late 70's-era. I'd REALLY like to find out...

    12 psi. max?

    What gives:confused: I've adjusted my wastegate rod in as far as it will go & I still can't make no more than 12 #'s of boost:confused: When I had the turbo off it seemed to be in good shape. No scars & not much "play" in it. I have a spare turbo I can try but I thought I'd fish for some...

    No header gasket

    I remember Rich & a few others saying that Buick didn't use any gaskets between the heads & the headers. This is how I'm going to do mine, they are all ready to go on. What I would like to know is if I should use any sealant or bolt them up metal to metal? Thanx:D

    D5 convertor

    Can our carb/turbo cars that came with the 200 4R use the newer D5 convertor? I know the trans. are mostly identical except for the valve body but I don't believe the stall is as high on ours:confused: I heard the stock D5's were good for 2,200 stahl. That's be pretty sweet if so since I see...

    86'd the flows

    Spent the last two days hacksawing off my '83's dual flowmaster exhaust. God I hate the sound of those mufflers:mad: The bad thing was that whoever put the duals on welded the ENTIRE system together. They even welded it to the downpipe:mad: & there were two collars welded on before that from...

    '83 T-type project update.

    I started tearing down my 'T to replace the headers & do some spring cleaning/re-routing. It's been slow going but I'm lucky if I can get an hour of work in on it a day. I was dreading doing this job for a while but I found so many other things wrong while tearing her down I'm glad I didn't put...

    Propane

    Anyone have any thoughts on using propane gas on a carb'd TR:confused: It's rated @ 98 octane, burns REAL clean in the engine & is a lot colder of a fuel than gasoline. Not to mention it's pressurized & doesn't require a fuel pump. I grew up working for a mechanic that used it on most of his...
