Bastard 20G?

[howslowcanyougo]

Did some more digging, and finally decided on this one, in prep for next year.

<Jet, you know atleast I didn't go with the V Trim..........:->

Damm the the Torpeados.....

The 20g and 50 trim weren't big enough huh? You will need a bigger intake and probably some braided turbo lines now.

You will need a bigger intake and probably some braided turbo lines now.

The braided lines and 3" intake are on the way!

Just gotta figure out how to properly block off those water lines now?

Thanks for your help!

I'm pretty sure Shane was referring to upgrading your Torque Converter in your automatic. What modifications have you done to your auto?? If I remember correctly from your For Sale Ad, you hadn't listed anything for the tranny. The automatic is a pig that needs 3 things (IMO) for it to get results.

- Higher Stall Torque converter from IPT (Since it appears you have money to blow I'd say get the 9 1/2 inch Billet Converter)

- End clutch kit

- Shift kit

I hope you ordered a a big FMIC kit. You were worried about lag and you chose this turbo????? Nitrous would be a great choice now, increase spool and help you get out of the hole quicker.

The FMIC is a bar and plate 31 X 7 X 3.5 with 2.5" hard short route piping from the outlet all the way to the TB. Suppose to flow 800 CFM?

I agree I need both all the Tranny upgrades and the NO2, but that's just not going to happen this year cash wise. I'll just have to live with a laggy pig this summer and next spring upgrade again when I can afford to do so.

In the long run I think it's a solid plan, vs just dump it and take abiut a $10K bath.

Good luck getting the 31" i/c in front of your car. You will have to cut the crap out of the front frame rail, remove it or have longer route pipiing for it to work. You will probably need to remove the bumper support because it would be a bitch to cut. Are you planning on installing this stuff yourself? I know autos have a small chance of walking, but do you know if your car is crankwalking or already walked? You will want ARPs and a new HG for that turbo also.
I blew past my new copper sprayed HG 2 weeks ago with my 60 trim and that was on a run with 1.83 counts of knock. That gasket lasted 2 pulls so I don't think your stocker with stock head bolts could stand a chance.

Supposely this FMIC will fit into a 2G, just measured it and guess it's only 30" including the end tanks. One way or the other were gonna have to just make it fit. Both my son, godson and myself are going to try to do as much work as we can do without stretching our skills too much to wreck stuff. Good point on the ARP's and the HG, will just have to turn the boost way down till I can get qpr or some good wrench to install them, as I never even seen them get installed, and don't want to wreck my junk ass 7 bolt, just yet.......:->

Do you mean 650 cfm? Here are the links from before. I am not so sure I believe it will go in without taking out the support. It looks like it is 2.8" thick so it might. I have only installed 3.5 inch ones. It looks like you will most likely be running long route piping the way the end tanks are or at least not have to cut the frame rail. On slowbubblecar's 2g, his core is 28" long and his endtanks pointed straight towards the engine so he had to cut a lot. It should be a good setup when it is done though.

My mistake, the standard"Hybrid" tube and fin 2.8 width flows 650 cfm, this custom model bar and plate @ 3.5" width suppose to flow @ 750 cfm.

"Just a lil fyi, they have two 7" kits. One flows 650cfm and the other flows 750 cfm. The full bar&plate is the more flowing unit. So I think it should handle a 50trim fine. I just ordered my 7" bar&plate kit on monday. Total w/ shipping was $820($45 for shipping)

Thanks again for the great insights guys!
