70GTQ... how's this puppy 'gonna work on my combo ?

[yullose]

Here's a pile of parts I gathered up today...

70GTQ w/.85 exhaust housing
70mm Accufab
Precision upper plenum
RJC plate
83lb injectors
Modded ECM

The biggest thing I still need to gather up yet is a FMIC...

I 'guess I can expect it to be a little more laggy with my combo than the CPT66BB ?

 

[GNBRETT]

Should melt the tires even more now.

Where did you have your ECM modified to handle both types of injectors?

 

[jasjamz]

Might want to loosen up that converter a bit. 36-3800 rpm.

I was thinking it would be easier to add a shot of nitrous instead.

And to add... I'm not sure who did the ECM, since I just bought it this way... but I believe Bob Bailey does/did them.

I remember your other car and I'm am it will work out great.

I just had that exact same turbo on my car. It had me sliding all over the place with my combo at 13lb of boost. I let a friend of mine drive around the block and he said he thought he hit some gravel when he hit second gear.:biggrin: Imo u should luv it

If thats a journal turbo then it will be a pig without nitrous and less than 3800 converter on a 231. You will need nitrous to get a good spoolup. I didnt see any type of wideband datalogging setup listed either. MAFT Pro? If not you are headed for a tuning disaster.

I have that same exact turbo on my 234" engine.

I have a powerlogger ECM, pre-turbo EGT sensor, LM1 wideband, etc... just none of it is hooked up at the moment.
I had a bunch of electrical issues to sort out after buying the car, so that stuff was unhooked and removed temporarily. I hung on to it and will eventually get it back on the car once I figure out how it all works together.

I also plan to swap the 200R4 for a transbrake'd TH400 eventually, so the converter/trans combo will be better matched when that happens.

FWIW... if anyone wants to swap transmissions and converters , I have all fresh and good stuff in the car right now. Less than 2000 miles on it, with fresh crisp shifts. It would almost be ashame to leave it in the car until it breaks.

Are you selling the 66?

 

[yullose]

Are you selling the 66?

Well actually, yes...

I just 'gotta figure out what it's worth... Any ideas ? (It was on the car when I bought it) I think there's less than 2000 miles on it.

GQ I can't wait to play with my dbb66 and F.A.S.T. with alky

solid 10 second turbo from what I hear/see/read/want lol

 

[The Darkside]

Just wondering if the 70gtq turbo you're putting on is a bb turbo?

 

[yullose]

I really wish it was... but no, just a journal bearing turbo.

I wonder what it would cost to swap out the center section to a DBB setup ?

 

[Red C5]

I think the turbo will be great. I had a 72R on my car and although it was a bit laggy, it was by no means horrible.

 

[87TurboGN]

Wear a neack brace, I have it on my car and my neck hurts all the time.

 

[yullose]

Well... "It has begun"

83lb Injectors, 70mm TB & plenum, 70GTQ... are all on the car.

Eric is burning me an Alky chip and a C16 race chip.

Hopefully the chips and front mount will be here by the end of the week.

 

[TurboBuRick]

You put that big blow dryer on there and then a restrictor plate under the plenum. LOL!

I hope you are kidding ?

Those RJC plates are supposed to be the cats ass.
