86 GLHS/TIII update #3

[glhs441]

After repairing the head and changing the TII turbo to a
TIII turbo w/.63 A/R turbine housing I finally went to the track last night.
Ran a best of 12.24@112.66,7.90 1/8th@89,and a 1.75 short time.

FINALLY SOME PROGRESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[GLHS592]

The mph says 11's! I hope to see you running mid 11's by next spring.

[devlish]

Ran a best of 12.24@12.66 is that supposed to be 126.6mph??

either way, NICE RUN! what kind of tires?

[GLHS592]

Judging by the 1/8 mile trap speed, I figured he meant 116.6 mph.

[devlish]

yeah, that makes more sense too. my bad. but i was pretty sure it was 12mph!

[glhs441]

112.66 mph

[GLHSKEN]

LOL proof positive he CAN read his timeslip!!!

Nice run... what was the 60'??

[turbovanman²]

Damn dude, thats flying. How much did you pick up over the TII and stock wheel on the TIII turbo with a .63 housing? Did you run more or less boost than before? Sorry for the questions, I loved my TIII turbo on my 8 valve setup but should have got a .63 housing for it.

Ken needs to read the post again,apparently I am not the only one who can't read.LOL

Same boost level,it would just keep the boost up longer before the 16v head
would out flow the turbo and pull it down from 20 to 15psi.

[GLHS592]

what was the 60'??

Ahem!


a 1.75 short time.


:p

[Marcus86GLHS]

very impressive.

for me thats the ultimate combo: a TIII powered omni.

spray it into the 10's???

[glhs441]

Here is the plan for improvements in order:
1. MSD Dis 2 box-lets it build boost on the line,installation in progress.

2. 57 trim/stage III,20+ psi from gate to gate,should be ready this week.

3. hybrid 3.50 geared trans,have the 523,will build it over the winter.

4. 100 hp shot of gas,have the parts to install,will happen over the winter.

Goal is to run mid to high 10s in a street legal,full interior GLHS that is also nice enough for a car show.

Reeve's car is pretty nice.

The best car I have seen, even besting Ohio Rob's Charger is Warren Stramers Laser, that car is unreal, the workman ship and one off parts are, :cool: :peace:

[glhs441]

All three are excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TurboJerry]

So is that what happens with a stock T-III turbo? It drops from 20 to 15 psi? I'll find out soon....... Sounds like it's hauling the groceries good though.......

[BadAssPerformance]

All three are excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ditto, you car is pretty damn nice too :thumb:

[glhs441]
