Turbo BS Thread

First gen guys has anyone been successful mounting the IC up high above the bumper if so care to show me where you punched through the front? I’m not a fan of the low mount

 

I've seen this.
We also have someone on here with the 96 style grille did a larger one.

 

My understanding of upgraded cams is they basically have a wider lobe at contact so that it opens/closes the valves sooner/later. Couldn't the same thing be achieved by making the valves/springs longer, so that the cams come into contact sooner/later?

 

I’m curious how he cut through the front to run it that high?
With all the bends I can imagine a holesaw will have trouble

 

So is this what VVT-I does?

 

This was a good read, it helped me understand some things

Dreaming of 2TR cams lol

 

Hit him up on the gram kylehorner_22.
Friendly guy when I've messaged him

 

I don’t know if this helps or if it’s considered high or low but at least you can see where to punch the holes without relocating lines

 

What did you use to cut through

 

I used a reciprocating saw and nips

 

You could also use a multipurpose tool.

 

mines directly mounted to the rad support (youl need hood pins to mount it high like this)

 

where could one find some ecu pinouts. specifically for a 95.5 v6 auto.

i found them online years ago but im not having any luck now. alot of dead links

thanks. it actually came up if i wanted to download it "again". guess i already had it somewhere

 

I got tubing in, put parts in place to get a visual

 

Progress! Are you gonna get it flow tested?

I'm curious

 

That’s beyond me dude

 

Anyone care for some 2TR Gumbo?



Block in 4lbs of lye

Just finished up the aluminum parts in Simple Green Pro HD


They will get painted today.
I’ve decided on cast color block, aluminum color on aluminum and likely red cover.

GREAT news!
Block is flat and three bores are .00007 over minimum bore, the other is .00012!
Cross hatching looks good

Bad news
I can pass .007 feeler under straight edge on the head.
I have to get that surfaced

Edit:
Great and relevant read
