Reeves' OMNI GLH-R Update!

[Reeves]

So far I unloaded it from the trailer (from the Cecil festivities) and put it in the garage!
That's the start of my winter projects!!

I like this project log thing. Hopefully it will keep me motivated to keep working on the car so I can post pics!

Plans for the winter (although seem minor) are:

-old 3" exhaust is rotted and has holes. Replace with 4" aluminum exhaust. That equals weight savings plus bigger plus won't rust away (may rot away?). While I'm at this, I'd like to add ATP's ultimate swingvalve (see pic). I already had ATP tech measure the i.d. and it will match my old S-6152 wheel as well as my new S-6262 wheel and have a lot more sealing *meat* that my current Turbonetics 5 bolt swingvalve housing has that has been HOGGED out to match the wheels.

-while at the above I have an idea for a wastegate acutator. Stay tuned. Even if it's a failure, I'll post it.

-get the solid lifters that I got at the beginning of 09 season in and set and see how they work.

-may send head to my buddy Steve to have all checked out and freshened up. Maybe I can sweet talk him into setting my solid lifters for me.

Don't think the motor/trans is coming out this year

For Menegon? If so, just let me know where to ship it.

I have a dash that I picked up from Kelly Gomer to give to you and you are asking if it is for Menegon and to let you know where to ship it? Someone needs to lay off the bong water.......not sure who....but one of us does....

A little history:

Dyno this spring with S-6152 turbo on new shortblock/trans and new 72's. Getting new stuff dialed in a little. Dyno would not let us do a 4th gear pull due to speed. We found out later we may be able to raise the speed limiter on the dyno. Doh!

lol Man I thought you wrote CASH!!! Cool deal. I asked Ken if I could keep it there, but if you don't mind holding it, I'll get it from you the next trip up there.

Thanks man!!

I didnt know ATP made a cast wastegate housing. How does this one compare to the old ATP welded wastegate housing that others have used? Better design? Cheaper?

I think they went to the cast version after the success of the SS model to save production costs.

The cast is a better flowing piece. Where I spent a couple hous grinding on mine to make the SS transitions as smooth as possible, it seems to be already on the cast model.

make sure you get the stainless one, they made a change to that recently..

I don't think you have a choice.

Great googly moogly! A hatch with silly torque!

Sweet! Look forward to reading more and more pix! One of my favorite turbo dodges.

[Turbo3Iroc]

Jon, when you get that in a car you need to have a plaque made for it. "The dash of misunderstanding!" haha

Great job on the dyno numbers and the progress James! It was great to see the omni get down the track this past weekend. Keep up the good work in '10
