'71 Camaro:
Motor: N/A
Trans: N/A
Suspension/Chassis bits:
Powder coated sub frame
All new Moog steering linkage
Detroit Speed upper and lower A-arms
Hotchkis front coils
Hotchkis rear leafs
Hotchkis/Bilstien front and rear shocks
Global west aluminum body mounts
All new gm door hinges(not yet installed
Brakes/Wheels/Tires/Diff:
Kore3 C5 front disc brakes
Kore3 C5 rear disc brakes / with parking brake
Kore3 Stainless brake hoses
17 inch Vintage wheel works V40's
Nitto NT555's 245 front 285 rear
Everything in rear diff is new: Moser axles, Eaton posi, GM 3.42 ring and pinion, all new bearings.
Stereo: N/A
Also missing a Fender and a few key body parts at the moment. In the process of planning the next steps. Have to repair some slight cancer on the front cowl where the dash meets the A-Pillar. Nothing major, just requires welding in a new cowl and some skill. Car will probably be out getting that repaired soon and getting all new weather stripping and a new windshield, along with getting all body panels installed and properly aligned along with new door hinges installed.
After that, the fun stuff... piecing together an engine.

Fix boost leak!!! Only having 19psi to play with is disappointing :(. I need around 30 bahahahahahahahahahah

Haha get that boost!
Cassies may hate me for this but I put in my 850cc injectors tonight and filled the tank with E85 and began the tuning journey. Got the car running decent so far and its already taking all the timing that it ever did with meth and more without any knock. Even on a conservative unworked tune she pulls pretty decent

Just don't cry to me when your fuel lines all start melting, lol.
I'm trying to set up a time to get together with a friend of mine who has already basically torn a Speed3 motor down two or three times, and he knows all the places this thing can leak from. He also does sales for an aftermarket vendor, so I'm getting the hook up on new spark plugs, and he is gonna see what he can do for me on a turbo inlet pipe and samco intercooler hoses. Hopefully I'll be back to everything being good in the next two weeks.
Oh, and Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Are the holidays over yet?

Still needs some sprayage but work in progress..
You're only getting 450cc injectors for EVO 16G's?!?! Damn son you are limiting yourself bad on that. Go with at least some 550cc's. Those things will pull like a damn freight train if you get a proper setup to go with it. A guy here in Omaha I go to school with has those on his Stealth with ~650awhp.

broken hood latch mod ftw..

I already had 450s in the car and am already planning to go a bit bigger. I'm already maxing out my 450s at 15psi. I would just throw in some 660cc injectors but I'm not super confident in tuning my greddy EMU by myself. And the turning up the pressure on the afpr once i get and install should allow me a little more boost. Along with some of the other future mods, I should be alright. I'll be happy if I can hit 500awhp on pump as my motor has over 170k+ on it...
I'll probably be doing a dyno before the end of the year so I can have a baseline before I start trying to make some power..

Yeah its sad.. Kinda like having twice the dick I do but not being able to get fully hard.. Sure the measurements impress/scare some people but we know who's really able to perform..:)
I'm just kidding..
I think its very cool the platform you chose to modify and what you've accomplished so far. I wish I had a chance to surprise people. Unfortunately half the people think my car is a beast and the other half think my car is slow as crap before anything even gets proven..

Thanks man, I still want a vr4 someday. My old stealth is my brother's now and I still drive it from time to time and love that car. I do love pushing the redline though and trying to keep up with the newest things that happen with this platform. As far as I know im one of the first 10-15 that have gone with E85 and so far couldnt be happier with the switch. I was running meth before and it was a nice bump in power after I got my tune dialed in, but this is so much more foolproof and makes even more power on E85. My favorite part with this platform has been learning to tune though. I am working with one of the leading tuners on my other forums to learn about E85 tuning and got some info and made my own tune. I have put about 10 hours into tuning this setup since last wednesday and Ive got it pretty dialed in already. I sent him my tune and he said out of the hundreds of tables on hptuners, my tune only had 18 differences from his. That made me feel pretty accomplished coming from one of the top tuners on there.
It started snowing today though so no more progress for a while, but in the spring ill be back to surprising people in the unsuspecting saturn:) ~290whp and ~270tq with a nice curve is pretty fun in a 2900lb car...too bad its fwd

Yeah tuning is def. the hardest part which makes it so damn rewarding when you do it right. I would go e85 but theres only 1 station in all of LA so it wouldn't be the smartest choice.. Esp. cuz its nowhere near my work or house.. So meth will have to be my drug of choice..

Yeah when i go places I like to scope out E stations and when i was in LA i didnt see any at all. Granted its a huge place but just where i was anywhere from inglewood up to studio city i didnt see any.
Meth is a good choice too, my meth kit is lonely now lol

Yeah with e85 I could hit 35psi or better but it's no where close and even getting 94 octane is a stretch. I'm almost better hitting the airport for 100LL or the racetrack for 110 :(. 91 is nasty. Had to fill up on it to get home and I'm getting more knock than ever.
Once I get it clear and set with 94 octane I should be squared. Still going to be tricky getting to 30psi.

Other than E85 all we get here is 91 and it sucks. No timing can be run with it. Even with meth I couldnt hit what I can on E. 91 ftl!

From what I remember, Mid MO was 91 for Supreme as well.
This is why ya'll gotta move down here to Texas. My baby gets a regular diet of Shell 93 octane.

I should mention the exhaust system I am getting is 70lbs lighter than the stock so were going to go ahead and add "weight reduction" to the list. Plus I have a Stillen Downpipe which is remarkably lighter than the stock as it got rid of all 3 of my cats which were heavy as hell. :D
TorchedStealth
12-02-2009, 09:05 PM
Holy shit 70lbs! My whole exhaust doesnt even weight that, but then again i only single exhaust and no Y in the downpipe. I maybe shaved 20-25lbs with my whole exhaust. And 3 cats = damn!

Yup, very easy to shead ~200lbs on a VR-4 as they are fatasses from the factory. Do away with the spare and jack along with some lexan and fiber glass body parts and she slims down quickly along with some power gains. You dig? (pun intended ;))
EDIT: BTW, nobody has noticed the change in my name. :(

How is the Exhaust set up on the VR4? One piece or flanged? On BMWs loosing the stocker exhaust is the same, its about a 40-50 pound weight drop with most of the aftermarket ones installed, because the entire exhaust on a BMW is one piece from the headers to the tips.

The two exhaust manifolds run into a single downpipe which then splits into a "y" so it comes out as dual. With this new setup I'll have it running into a much much lighter downpipe (as it doesn't have any of the three heavy, and very restrictive cats) and then continue to run into a single the whole way through and will go out at the back left side. With the downpipe and new exhaust it should be cutting ~90-100lbs off of stock weight. Will look identical to this:

There are three. I70 exits on the north side of the highway and to the right on everyone. At the providence exit, 63 interchange near BK and lake of the woods exit.
I get better gas mileage with 93 and I don't get knock in the galant with 94.

Fail wheel drive people like me gotta live with traps lol! On street tires I would prolly trap around 110-112, but slicks will be 108-110 id say. She pulls hard on E85 tuned on 25* of timing and 11.7AFR:) should put me around 290whp and 270tq on this setup. Now it just needs to warm up so I can finish tuning
