going fast is one of my many hobbys, heres a lil project ive been working on over the winter.Originally Posted by Fire$torm
im about 3 days away from firing up the new engine
hoping to run in the high 8 second range in the 1/4 mile, and break 200mph across the bonneville salt flats later this year with it
Crazy! What kind of chassis mods did you do to that thing? Back in the 80s those frames would twist with a 305 HO.
Get a Go Pro on that thing and post it!
its got frame connectors and will have a full 10pt rollcage in it , im going to add the foward bars to the 10pt cage to help stiffen it a lil moreCrazy! What kind of chassis mods did you do to that thing? Back in the 80s those frames would twist with a 305 HO.

i have a 3.1L v6 89 as well with a 61mm turbo hanging off it that makes 372 rwhp and 517rwtq it has cracks in both b pillars from twisting up but that car also doesnt have frame connectors or a cage in it
ill have to post some videos i already have from the twin turbo iroc , last year it had a bone stock l98 engine in it with twin 57mm turbos and was running 11:30's @ 134mph
and ill have lots of new videos , i have 3 gopros for recording videos
Turbo on a 3.1? Wow...talk about stretching the design limits. That's impressive for the ol' 60º V6! Funny about the B-pillars. Can't wait to see the vids.
ill throw up some pics and vids of both cars when i get home
the 60* v6 platform is a very stout one me and some of the guys over at thirdgen org and 60degreev6 have been laying down some killer power out of those tiny lil engines.
im in the middle of building one with a 4-71 roots blower , that project is currently on hold as the twin turbo iroc has been taking most of my funds and time lately
heres a few of the v6
stock bottom end minus good bearings , and piston rings , pistons are keith black stock replacements
the only thing trick about the entire bottom end is that its it has a really good balance job on it as i normally shift at 7100-7,400 rpms , it has seen 8,400 a few times on accident and usually involves me replacing valve springs once it gets revved that high
the turbo headers are custom one off 321 stainless that i built
other then that its got a custom ground camshaft , and a sheetmetal intake plenum that i also fabricated
btw how do u post youtube videos here ?
Click the film strip looking icon.
Impressive! I love original ideas like that! Nice work and fabrication.
Can I borrow your fab shop for like the next ten years...???
i miss the shop big time , its my family's race car shop back home in new jersey, i now live out in utah.
miss the shop dont miss living in a big city
