Eric's calling you out alex...heheh

it's on now buddy!


you two need to get to the track...lol

Whats that going on? :O

That IS on erics 98 riviera....with a 3.8 stg2 ic, mechanical IC pump, PCV air oil seperator, L32 longblock and VS cam/PS headers

soon to get IS3 cam and heads....

gotta love the whole new breed of badasses in our luxury cars!!!!

I need a license first. I just got my keys back from my buddy's house and i just sent back the POS slp resonator that summit sent me instead of the 3" magnaflow muffler i ordered....so soon I should be reletivly quiet enough to get some more tuning logs in. Or $500 and drop it off at the dyno guru a 1/2 mile away.

Its defiantly on though.......I think IDD-X will be the battlefield.....Sound good??

i would but i'm waiting to finish machining the aluminum fuel rails (7/8ths ID extrusion bore ) i hope to start making and selling a buncha them.... already have 6ft of -8 and 4ft of -10 extrusion to play with for now, eric is planning on some *ahem* slightly bigger injectors....

I'm looking for a set of fuel rails that are less expensive than the current logs selling for $300-400. W-Body Store has a set for $109, but they're always out of stock.. If you could price yours competitively, I may be interested in buying a set.

65's??? They work great for me so far. Not to mention past that size and ur looking to buy a a1000 or similar fuel pump.
what kind of throttle body are you planning on using? LT-1? That would look sweet.

I think one day we need to cruise the outer freeways of Chicago and go on a killing spree. isnt ur Riv black also? Oh the fun we could have....with a video camera!!!!

150LBHR??!?!?!?! Holy Fuck!!!! I dont even think Tim is runnin that big...maybe.....I want to play around with E85 too. Its so much cheaper and it gives you alot of extra HP. Have you found any conversion tables for how much extra E85 is required compared to regular gas when pushin say 20 PSI...

what size pulley are you going to have pushing 20 lbs of boost????........... and do they make 150 lb an hour injectors......... imagine gas mileage.......

If you stayed out of boost, I'd say it's possible to tune for decent economy, but who could stay out of boost when you have that much?!!!

that whipple will push 10 psi on a 4" pulley. and yes, they do make 150 lb injectors but theyre probably $125-200 a piece.

Truly, the biggest pain in the ass is maintaining voltage throughout the whole system. My setup likes to completely drain my battery if im not actually driving around.

throw a 2 inch pulley on that whipple and show us h0w its done........ :}

yeah......umm thats how you blow your shit to smitherines, not to mention there is no 2" pulley. My block could take a whipple with a small ass pulley, but i think Erics pistons are stock.

they arent that expensive....besides we'll need injectors big enough for the whipple and to come close to using all the flow that the -10 (.8 inch bore) rails can handle...but for now i have -8 rails machined for it i just gotta make the masters for the mounting tabs and do the fittings, then we can finally ditch these tiny modified stock rails

have you checked the alternator field control in the PCM? it may be that at your idle the alternator isnt comanded on....

yes erics riv has a 30k L32 longblock but his 98 block is in the garage after the reman crank decided it wanted to part ways at #1 and 2 journals and took out the skirts of all the forged pistons, the L32 rods are in fine shape but # 1 and #2 are going to be replaced anyways.... the block is fine and is being built with all my improvements and new forged pistons and low mile L32 heads with hopefully hollow stem LS6 valves....
but for now the fuel rails/plumbing and the 4t80e are the priorities

whadya think?
-8 on the left -10 on the right (they will be my fatman rails for the 442)

chicks dig girth....90mm FAST LSX TB
god this thing is sexy!

have fun finding a MAF sensor to handle all that. The LS1 matches my spacer/adapter/GEN V perfectly.

wouldnt it be fun to go to Buick nationals......and stomp some stock Grand nationals

yeah....that'd be fun....

YEAH, THAT MAF is about right. I remember seeing it a long time ago.

enjoy the jury rigged rails/lines lol

cant wait till this stuff goes on! i gotta machine the whipple TB adaptor for a new plate to use the 5 bolt LS2 TB pattern so that'll be even more billet aluminum... i think i'll be angle milling it to tilt the TB forward and down.


the oil/air seperator for the external PCV system and to keep oil out of the combustion chambers god i can only imagine how all that oil might have contributed to knock with the old m90 once he gets that 90mm tb on i'm cutting that pos filter up with the plasmacutter...
