Finally after 2 years of downtime i'm only days away from being back on the road. Went from D1 that blew up on me to a Chris Sykoras YSI+bracket+Cog, t56 to th400, 10 bolt to 9", and bone stock suspension to full Spoohn suspension with Qa1 R front suspension.
I clocked the blower up so its going to be a very short intake pipe with meth injection, the blower is maxed out, same pulley combo that Sykora went 8.9x with. Im def liking the vortech over the Procharger so far simply because its not as loud, it might sound cool when its loud but after a while it becomes inconvenient when trying to listen for engine noises or anything else.

what size cogs are you running? 68/26?

 

78/28

 

Congratulations on getting it back together. You will have to take it to the track to blow that dust off your hood.

 

is that on a 30 or 50mm width belt? and how high are you spinning the motor?

 

35mm i belive, spining to about 6500

 

do you have pics of your YSI set up and cog belt and part numbers?

thanks

 

no i dont have any pictures, Bracket and Blower i bought from Chris Sykora, Pulley were bought from ASP, they were custom to fit the Ati Balancer which you have to use with Chris's bracket. There are a few people runnign this set up, berdie2000 is another one.

 

i have his old ysi kit and i was thinking of going cog this coming winter just would like to no what spec opn the pulleys are ....

 

the teeth count i posted above, mine is 35mm pulleys since i wont be reving past 6500rpm, you call ASP, talk to lee tell him the teeth count, with and that you using the Ati balancer everything else is stock LT1 specs. Pulleys are sorta pricy i think i paid $500 for both+ belts are at $60 a pop

 

It definitly sounds nicer than oure procharger F1.

 

congrats man, i know how it feels having a car that just sits there!

 

i had a d1 it was cool kinda at first, got alot of people asking about the car. When i started driving it, i got all kinds of response on the street, people hollaring out of their windows and asking about the car "hey how much hp are you running" while that might be cool for the first 5 times somone asks you but then it just starts getting annoying. Once when i thought my rocker was coming loose i trired to listen closer....well that didnt work, all i could hear is ear piercing whine.
Btw youve done a great job on your car i've been folowing your progress for a while congrats, do you race much with Nordic tunning guys? Its a saab shop somwhere in sweeden? i just got rid of my 94 9000 aero great car but parts prices are outragous in US, so i gave an idea of having a reliable 400whp daily driver.

 

i washed the dust off today
