Got some of the bugs worked out. One of the major ones being that the wastegate was stuck open. Doh!
Still have a little more tuning to do but if I can get the darn connectors to stop popping off under boost then I'll take it to the track tomorrow and get some times.
The boost starts around 2100 and its making 10psi at 3k
It's just amazing how awesome this feels. I can't wait to take it too the track and get some times

 

hell yea man, glad we got it running good!


tomorrow, fun at the track

 

TTT

 

Got up bright and early this morning to put the connectors back on so they would stay put. Well I was under the car when it started raining like crazy. I quickly cleaned out a little room in the garage so I could fit half of the car in there so I wouldn't get wet. After I get it in I hear the tornado sirens going off. I go inside and the phone rings. It's my grandma telling me that there is a tornado on the way. So I'm watching the news and hoping that the tornado that's 4 miles away doesn't turn around and come after me. After the rain stops I finish up the car. Take it for a test spin and pop, the connector falls off again. This happened countless times. Finally got it on there nice and tight and decide to take it to the track since now it has been nice and sunny out for the last few hours. Get to the track and it starts to sprinkle. They closed the track so I wasn't able to run it. By the time I drove out of the gate it starting pouring again Atleast they gave me my money back. Turns out this is the 2nd week in a row it has been a rainout. Oklahoma weather sucks!

 

all you OK guys with turbo 6's need to move up here to mass.

 

OK I want to do this mod on my 2000 3800, but I got a few ?"s

This what I want:
Garrett or turbonetics t3/t4
intercooler
HKS or Apexi timer
HKS wastegate

Will this work and how much is this gonna cost? Also what are using for you set-up? Are you installing it yourself? I want to charge my V6 cause it's already a strong lil motor that has potential to burn V8's (No V6 or GT stang can beat me, NONE).
Are there any sites with diagrams for 98-02 camaro's w/ turbos? My email is richierich_33@hotmail.com or I'll just check back to this post. If possible I'd want a twin turbo set-up. I NEED HELP!!!!! My 86 Z-28 is gettin a standard vortec carb. charger so thats easy. The 2000 is a lil more complicated.

 

The weather in Oklahoma does suck sometimes.

 

Tiago, weren't you having the same problem with your's popping off? I know it was something kept popping off... How did you fix it?

 

the problem I had and wwhat he has is different. All we need to fix his is better align the pipe with the turbo, it should be fine.

Some silicone connectors will make sure that **** never comes off again.

 

Well let's get that taken care of then!! I wanna see some numbers!

 

Got some silicone connectors on it. I'm going to try and run it at the track or get it dynoed asap.
