his mod list Injectors, ETS intercooler, gt3076r turbo, 30lbs boost, exhaust, external gate with dump. This car has done 480hp to the tire and is capable of of more now. And i had poor old me with twin turbos on essentially a 360cid small block oil burner and the only new part on my car being the torque converter. Round 1 Playing on the highway, we went from about 50 with him taking the jump. I was locked into overdrive and I pulled a fender on him and maintained that until he shifted to 4th, that out him at my back bumper and left him there. +1 Buick Round 2Since I didnt feel i best him bad enough, i turned my fueling box (chip) up from level 4 to level 5, this is where unsafe egt's start occurring for me on warmer days, but man it pulls hard up top. Same start, 50 roll and he got the jump. This time i put him at the back tire and put half a car between us when he shifted. It really started pulling hard and we ran out of room. Buick 2, Evolution 0 It was fun and I now have a new confidence in this car on the street, being able to take out a long respected import at twice his weight. Oh, and bigger turbos are on the way, stay tuned next month.
More info and pictures of your swap! My friend and I swapped a 12v into my 1990 Ramcharger. Next is to go P-pump and 24V head LOVE these engines!
This should get you guys going... http://www.v8buick.com/showthread.php?218824-my-72-Cummins-powered-Riviera&highlight= Just a set of small twins with injectors and a fueling box. Stock engine with 265k on it and over torqued head bolts. Semi built transmission and done... Very simple. As far as putting a 24v head on a 12v.. You need 24v pistons a well.. Check out http://www.competitiondiesel.com Bunch of knowledgeable good guys will help get you in the right direction
nice job , the first car a raced when I put my car back together was an 11sec evo8 and I beat him, felt pretty good
That's an awesome setup. That's gotta be a blast to drive. I am aware of the requisite 24v pistons. I have a p-pumped 12v sitting around waiting for a rebuild...
I have too many interests... Steamboats, diesel dodges, firearms, building my wagon, being married, and a homeowner.
