awaiting the new 60lb seimens dekas to arrive so we can get back to tuning then she will be alive and kicking proper.

update on my car my head guy wants valves so i best get him valves LOL who has some nice undercut turbo freindly exhaust valves for my series 3.8 1.5" or even 1.6" maybe think we can fit them in there or if anyone has a link to any cant have mint ports with **** valves that would be sacriledge 11/32 stem size im guessing i may not get much help on this one being totally different heads more just documenting the build
 
Don't know of any turbo safe valves for the 3800 myself but you might want to look at some of the TTA 3.8 valves. I think they might work for you.
 
went to do vb exhaust new welding wire is ****house must be made in china out of crushed commodores physically couldnt weld with it LOL but i did get a nice cam vid delco quality phone video LOL who says a cam with no overlap doesnt chop at idle LOL YouTube - turbo 3.8 v6 cammed idle

A/R 0.70
Inducer 60mm
Exducer 64mm must be meant to say 84 i thought 4mm sounded a little to smal of a size difference LOL

will just be heading out with the stock 3800 and T700r4 with the 2 rx7 turbos maybe a cam and 14psi pretty much the same as the green car but half the weight :biggrin: somewhere in the 10's at 120mph would be nice for a start
 
just got home from the drags eventfull weekend got the green car into the 11's 11.7@117.8mph weighs 1500kg with driver and gas more later after i have a coffee and gets the pics and vids online
 
Is that oil you're burning or are the tires loosing traction about half way down the track? Looks like you did pretty good.
 
rear main is rope seal and has a little leak that leaks a mist of oil onto the crossover on boost by the time we get 1/2 track engines coming out for a new rear main very shortly
