Lol, I'm actually thinking about completely de-badging the V.

saw this quote in a magazine:

"base model human = no tattoo's"

TPI, baby.

zz4 crate motor with the stock tpi stuff put on it.
custom turbo setup with 66mm precision
a/c and everything else the car came with
7004r trans
9 bolt rear

car made 530/550 a few days later.

BIRDMAN · 04-07-2014, 10:40 PM

Tackling one of the many issues the car came with...right side HVAC door blender failure. Of course it was the passenger side that requires taking apart the whole dash. lol

Not really, for turbos on a unloaded DynoJet. Looks like large turbo or large turbine A/R.

yea, a/r is a little big for a motor thats done by 5100.
his converter is as tight as they could get it and retain lockup. if he keeps this car, he will be switching to a 4l80. i keep telling him to swap intakes, since that would move the peak out another 1k rpms and probably pick up another 100hp, but he wants to stick with the tpi. i still think thats cool, too.
he keeps breaking stuff on the car, and having fueling issues. been bugging him for about 2 years. so he went out and bought a 13 gtr. lol

TPIS Mini Ram would set it off right.

What is he using for engine management?

megasquirt. been having troubles with fuel system keeping up above 16psi. goes leeean. its a stock fuel system with a 255 pump now, but has had a 340 pump. the heads were removed due to blown cometic recently. couple of the cylinders were hammered and had to be resurfaced a good bit to make them flat again. looked like someone dropped a bowling ball on each of the combustion chambers.
a superram/miniram, nice set of heads, 4l80, and 12 bolt would be awesome on this thing. when he was upset with it, i tried to buy it from him but he wanted a good bit for it.

That pump is only good to 70 PSI and flow drops dramatically as the pressure rises. If he has enough injector, he could try to lower the base pressure to 40 psi and see if that gives it some help. He's likely in the 60's psi with 16 lbs and that can stress a 255.

I love old TPI stuff. I could talk it all day.

just figured a 66 would spool decently quick is all. the kit i wanted for ricestang had a single 61 and people thought it was too small.
