[TURBOPOWERED68]

Subscribing &
Looking to learn.

 

[Pronto]

[t3intercooled]

[GN280CI]

67 DBB Precision Turbo:biggrin:

 

[BetMinesFaster]

Wow, Movin!!! Thats very impressive, and the fact that you willing to share it all, if this was a Honda of Mitsubishi board full of punk kids none of what made it work would have ever been mentioned!! Keep up on the good work!! You wanna make mine go fast?? Lol

 

[mjdwyer23]

67 DBB, grumpy doesn't forget.

 

[nonosv6]

67dbb pte


oops...too late...

 

[Grumpy]

forgot the damm "OPITIMA" battery in case nobody hasn't seen the engine here it is along with a pic from Artie @ Atco last year on her 10.10 run

 

[BEATAV8]

You're killin' me. I got the same turbo and even more supporting mods on my pile. Maybe someday I'll catch up! (My Vigilante converter aint gonna cut it though!)

 

[Grumpy]

Dammm another "senior" moment ..forgot a TURBO TWEAK CHIP .. Thanks ERIC !!!!!

 

[BetMinesFaster]

Yunno, this post gives me some faith, I was hoping with some heavy tuning to squeek mine into the mid 10's, Goes to show that it doesent take a car full of every expensive part on the market to go fast, that setup is very basic and obviously very effective!! Thumbs up again, im blown away!!

 

[WeSS]

lol

I can see it now. TB.com's server blowing up from all the pm's grumpy gets everyday.

What about the splitfire plugs with titanium tips I heard you were running?

Great job grump,melissa, & Russ. I post this stuff on different forums and they always tell me I must be smoking something because that just is not possible.

 

[The Darkside]

Thanks for sharing Melissa's "secret" build up..... It's a simple, but definetly a very fast combination!!! Now that we have the parts, all that's left is to "fine tune it" (bigger secret)....lol.
I would like to know a couple of things though...what plugs do you run & what size MAF?

Thanks, The Darkside

 

[TurboTnZ06]

Dang that is almost exactly my setup!!!! Differences are my crank is cut 10/10, stock throttle body, precision doghouse w/ powerplate, I only have a 210/210 biller hyd roller cam, stock irons which are bowl ported only, no alchy and I'm running a TE45a (67mm too).

10.921 @ 126.95 on only one pass since I have no cage. 3300# car no driver. I bet I coudl get 130mph out of these heads with more boost, but 138- that is moving!!!

Good job with tuning it to go 10+mph faster than my car:biggrin:
