    I think in the interest of clarity, it should be pointed out that for some strange reason you are putting off having a van that sounds like that.
    And you could do true duals on the van with some cheap ebay Gran Prix headers reflanged to 3.0 style

    11.5 was on a quiet stock heads cams shortblock ecu paper headgasket 8.9:1 3.0 from a minivan.
    BTW, anyone who ever thought the 1996+ caravans came with a 9.3:1 motor...I disagree. The piston dish looks exactly the same as the 8.9. WTF chrysler?

    Re: 10 second 190,000 mile low boost 3.0 build

    what about compression height from the pin?

    point taken fo sho, tho i will not start my 3.0 swap until after the GRM race in Oct.

    I Think the duals is a great idea cuz ive been thinking about dual side exit in front of the rear wheels similar to the aries (single side exit) and those headers would accomodate that easily.

    so modest, not even bringing up your dyno runs on stock 10:1 pistons. This car makes more power running on 5 of 6 cyl at under 20 psi than most of the 4 cyls do on 30 psi.

    Dont push the red button.You hear me?

    Re: 10 second 190,000 mile low boost 3.0 build

    holy crap did you go out and find that emoticon just for this purpose? ^Lol

    Eh, i respect ambition and results. Lots of people here havent got one or the other, keeping in mind that doing what's been done and getting the same results doesnt take much ambition. Im not too proud of my GRM car at all, for that reason. likewise, lots of people have ambition and never get the results.

    its a v6. of course its going to make power.
    I think pushing this power level on stock junkyard high compression pistons is something cool. sure a nissan gt-r motor is a v6 that makes 500 hp on stock pistons.. but not with smaller bore pistons, not 10:1 pistons, and the shortblock those pistons come in doesn't cost $90. It might even be OVER 9000! . You should be bashing those fanboys. lol. out of sight out of mind, though. T-m is free from those types of nutswingers

    Dont push the red button.You hear me?

    Re: 10 second 190,000 mile low boost 3.0 build

    i totally respect what he's accomplished and im friends with you too. have been for years.

    i just dont see the need for you to defend him or to boast about his accomplishments when:

    1. you havent done the same (nor do i expect you to)....

    2. his car isnt all that reliable....

    3. there are plenty of 4 banger cars on here that are much better built and are either as fast as him or faster and more reliable.

    i dont see you following brian slowe around and busting a nut in his eye with excitement when his car is EXPONENTIALLY faster than brents with less boost and worlds better in build quality and reliability and the fact that Slowe is a nice guy on here and doesnt act like a dickhead towards others.

    or take DJ's car. similar speed and boost. he drove it from alberta to cincy and didnt blow up a piston, nuke a clutch, squirt coolant everywhere, crack a weld on something etc. he hammered it pretty good at SDAC too and only had one nut loosen up after driving a zillion miles on a hand built car? not bad. and he is a nice guy and not a douche.

    warren stramer... runs 10's on a heavy 8v and has the most beautiful fabrication around. and a nice guy to boot.

    see what im getting at?

    why nutswing on a guy that has a piece together car that will be as reliable as something Dave threw together in highschool and acts like a dicklick all the time? thats silly.

    Brian

    PS.... a buddy of mine used that nutswing icon on another board im on and i thought it was perfect for here. take it as a good natured ball busting.

    PPS.... I used to love the 3.0L. but brent and his attitude ruined it for me.

    Who needs a towtruck when you can tow a shadow with a slightly larger k-car. Im getting a lot of mileage out of that hitch install..

    Re: 10 second 190,000 mile low boost 3.0 build

    19psi was just the boost level it ran on the street on our 2nd to last pass.
    18psi on the dyno. I was trying to win the dyno contest without goign crazy, not race at the track. The car was tuned the night of the last races here so not much I could do for track racing.
    BTW for Brian slowe nutswingers who can't get their bragging facts right, I ran my 11.9 on less boost then him But I did it on a stock heads/cams/shortblock motor.

    If unreliable = running 11.9 on 16psi and getting booted because the junkyard motor leads then sure. I could have run that motor for years with that weak setup. But leaning out on 22psi when my fuel pump can only handle 16 broke it. Street testing didnt get enough traction to show the lack of fuel in 4th gear. The proper answer would have been dyno time. Anyways I was working this summer and didn't work on my car.

    But hey, there is a reason Brian didnt bring up all the failures that certain cars have had, especially the "best fabricated blah blah nutswing"
    But why should I care.
    I went 125mph on a stock cam/head/shortblock/NA ECU on a motor meant for NO boost. Did it at 4400 Feet.

    Brian, money where your mouth is, send any 10 second TD up to 4400 feet elevation and lets do a freeway run. You know not a gosh darn one would be able to run a 10 up here on their best day except Dean Stillie.
    Even Tony Palo in his 8.9 second Honda couldnt run faster then 9.3 up here this summer and was 10mph low on his traps. Ask him what he thinks of elevation!

    I missed the last track day, thats the night the car got tuned because I had just finished the "overfueling" issue.
    There are some billion HP Hondas and DSM's going to Vegas in November and they have invited me but who knows, I might be out of the country with "priorities."

    I had an O ring made of .012" thick copper wire with no reciever groove start to blow out from detonation on a O.5 second 24psi pull. It wrecked 2 plugs but they still sorta worked, didnt take it apart because we were up all night doing other stuff, hit the dyno with no sleep and on the 4th actual pull (only recorded pull) the ring blew out completly. That was after a 500+++ pull that didnt record because i let off at 3000 rpms when fuel was bogging.

    Gary D couldnt even get a 440hp 8 valve to hold together while people have been making near 500 on non common blocks with no problems.
    The issue I can't give Gary D crap about is that he was figuring things out, not copying other peoples ideas/setups. Huge difference. His build threads are full of failures that he rectified and that is what I respect about those parts of his website. Its not a website full of a bunch of excuses blaming someone else.

    And as the people on here who know me have watched, I am only a dick to people who are E bullies. Usually those people keep their mouths shut in real life and if they don't then I call them on their BS there. You won't find one post of me picking on someone who always keeps their posts "respectful." Not a single damn one. Thats why the people who dislike me tend to be the -------- of TM because they like to pick on people just to feel good about themselves and they don't like to stand up for their own behavior.

    I may not even race next year, I don't know what the future holds, but with my current suspension strap fix that I have not tested yet, I think the car will be able to hold a low 1.6 60' and my driving has improved and I have been practicing more in my daily on shifts. That was the only reason difference between my car that ran for 2 years straight with nothing but a clutch problem because it was too weak. I don't see how that is builder error when it was supposed to hold what it didnt............and the 11 second car. Driving. The motor/hp issue is not really important --- HP only gets you down the track of you put it to the pavement. The motor was still running 500+hp on 91 octane kill mode when I took it apart and I kept it apart because of some 6 month old damage from a spark plug.

    Also not much I can do about a design flaw in the head. Head studs don't work because we don't stretch headbolts, the head flexes between the bolts. People have tried even 120 ft/lb, had no stretch, and still flexed. I am trying to find cheap ways to solve a problem so other people can copy. There are other fixes I have already considered doing that I am avoiding because people will not want to try that. Whats wrong with that attitude?
    Look how many 3.0 builds people are interested in? Its probably got nothing to do with how much they like me. There are hundreds of 8v -------- but I still want to go out and fix the T2 car sitting outside just to dig into it and see whats up, make it faster, etc. Just like i wish well for all my buddies of other car makes. Few people here honestly wish well for others, they all seem to worry about someone else going faster then them. I honestly thought Bansheenut was going to go faster then me on his stock head TIII head this year but thanks to a couple bad coupler clamps that didnt happen.
    This is one reason why a lot of people here either keep things secret about their cars, or spread disinformation that misleads people into building slow cars and then wondering why the car is slow because they "followed directions"
    Perfect example, the outright lie by Gary D that he shifts at 5000 rpms.

    If thats the kinda crap you think advances the platform, go ahead and live in that world of yours.

    I don't need to live and die by what my motors could do if I had the wick turned up from 20 to 40psi boost, and from 6200 rpms to 7-8k rpms. I don't have the driver mod to handle something like that so it would be silly.

    The comment to Vigo about "him having done nothing" would go right back on Brian who said it. What have you done? And most of all, why does it matter what someone has done? I know a lot of people with fast cars who have no idea what they are doing, then people with slow cars who do, or who build the fast cars for other people but don't own a fast car themself.

    I didnt even read this thread almost 2 months so i would say bragging is on the bottom of my list. Its a project that I have some excitement about butI don't need to compete with everyone else for hits on the project section. Help or ideas are a lot more useful then banter. Thats what I thought this stuff was for, learning experiences for those who read about projects.


    simon, lets see you run a fast time an n/a headgasket. Bring it. You couldn't get fancy ones to hold down
    Me, i have just learned that cometic makes the worst MLS gaskets on the market but in unquestioning TD/TM land nobody has figured that out.

    Every TD out there is reliable as long as you add in the fact that they keep almost all their failtures a secret. At least Gary D shared his failures though some people purposedly pretend those did not happen. Gary has more good then bad about him but he is no diety. He doesnt want to help you learn how to turn your own car even though he could show you and the whole Dcal thing could have been completely figured out 8 years ago so the program would be easy enough for almost anyone to use it. Instead he helps a few friends and then boxes away his secrets for 7 years while he takes a break. TD's would be a LOT faster these days, there would be 10 second TIII's, etc, if he had shared that information on HOW to tune, not giving away actual tunes for free.
