1984 T Type build thread (fabrication based)

[jbeier]

Got my chip and injectors yesterday. Hopefully I'll get a chance to put them in this weekend.

Running great! Virtually no lag!

just meth and a bigger turbo plus what you have done and my stock longblock 85 went 12.14. Again nice work.

BTW, how much boost were you running for the 12.14?

29psi on 30 year old valve springs.

Good Lord! I don't have balls that big! I'm probably gonna stop around 18-20, just because I don't think the trans will take any more than that. Hopefully I can pull off mid 13's when I'm all tuned up.

My transmission lasted one season at that level. Second gear was toast.

Good job on the fabrication . After seeing all that work and time to make it intercooled I think it would have been easier to get a Intake Manifold from a 87 and the headers . But agian good job and looks clean bud .

We did the deal and the pain in my a$$ Vette is gone

FOR SURE!
The shop I work in, has 1 of those piles in for a "start up" type going over......Sat outside for 5 yrs. Infested w/ ants, covered in black pine sap, wrecked in the rear....
The owner's $2500 budget is now at $8K+, and climbing!
It's such a filthy PITA to work on, I told the boss it's my first and last....

Bottom line: You made out like a "tall dog", w/ that trade!

I'm always about using what I have and trying to keep the cost down. I had a welder that could do aluminum, I didn't have an '86-'87 intake, lol. I think it would be a worthwhile upgrade later though.

Nice work. Don't forget to get a free flowing air cleaner on it.

Took the bottom half of the airbox off and put a K&N filter on it.
