Oh noes, what did I do?

TorchedStealth · 10-17-2010, 02:12 PM

So my engine bay has developed this growth...it seems as if my blower has gotten bigger and changed color. Any ideas how to treat this?

For a little comparison: 1.0 liter stock M62 vs. 1.3 liter TVS

I need to go take some better pics

Nice pick up! I just picked up a new something for the TA in Dallas the other week.

TorchedStealth · 10-17-2010, 08:56 PM

Thanks man! What did you get?

Musashi3000GT · 10-17-2010, 10:46 PM

DUDE!!! Noice!

Your my hero bro. I really wish my wife would mod hers. She hassnt even bothered to schedule a timing belt change and its at 57K already.

Vids!

We need vids of that bad boy smoking some unexpected victims.

TorchedStealth · 10-17-2010, 11:20 PM

Thanks Mushman! In all honesty, I dont think Id bother with replacing the timing chain since they are dont wear like belts do, however I would pick up the updated one piece chain tensioner instead of the stock 3 piece. Its really easy to change out and only takes about 10 mins and a 22mm wrench (or something like that). Ill be swapping mine out when I put my ported head on this winter

As far as vids, I should be able to get a few this week or next weekend! Its getting cold during the nights so traction is a no go until about 75 when I grab 3rd, but during the day 2nd grabs like a champ

CivRacer95 · 10-17-2010, 11:40 PM

Very nice. What kind of numbers are you expecting to put down after the ported heads?

And yes, vids are a must. Always a must...

TorchedStealth · 10-18-2010, 12:21 AM

Im not looking for any crazy HP numbers staying with a blower but the powerband is so nice

I should throw down about 340whp right now, and after winter when I throw the head on and possibly a BRFPR and drop one more pulley size 365-375whp should be doable. Only a few guys have done it so far. The boost referenced fuel pressure regulator will be needed though since im at 90% Injector duty cylce now on the fall blend of E at 7100rpms with a 11.9 AFR at redline. With the extra flow from the head and reving out to 7500 and not to mention being in the summer blend I think ill max out the injectors and go lean. And I have the biggest injectors made for my car which are 80# (~850cc), but that is calculated from a normal car running 43.5 psi fuel pressure whereas the LSJ runs 58psi, so they are actually flowing about 980cc or so right now. Damn this E85 takes all my injector lol, but the funny thing is that I would barely be able to break 300whp on this blower without it or meth.

BBK intake and an 85mm throttle body. I should see a nice improvement over the stock LS1 intake. Cant wait to get home to get it on. I will be raping LS2 GTOs then.

Nice man! We just put headers on my friends LS1 Camaro, and they really werent has difficult as everyone makes them out to be. I was thinking it was gonna take a really long time to install them since there is so much stuff in the way, but it only took us 5 hours or so and that was with taking randoms breaks here and there.

Oh I has a few vids now too

Ill get them up tomorrow

In my experience working with cars, everytime people say its a super hard install, its usually not that bad. its the easy installs that have you scratching your head in confusion.

oh and you're such a tease..
