Mark's 1G Winter Projects
5 Attachment(s)
Just finished up my 4” aluminum exhaust this winter on my 1G and thought I would throw up some pictures. I want to drive the car on the street and didn’t want to do a fender dump, so this is a great alternative. It transitions over from stainless steel to aluminum at the back of the oil pan. Its 3.5” stainless from the turbo to the transition at the pan. I made the 3.5 to 4 inch transition to a v-band. It uses a vibrant aluminum muffler. The total weight of the aluminum section is around 13 lbs. I cannot wait to hear what it sounds like!

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
Awesome work. I would love to get a close look at this car and learn some things.

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
Damn that's huge! Can you get a picture of it with a kitten in the muffler? Or maybe a black lab...
|
Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
I seen this in person and it is an amazing setup!

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
Just do a 5" exhaust.
Looks great. |
Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
That is pimpin exhaust. Love the use of aluminum.
|
Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
Looks good, Mark. Is your car lowered at all, and if so, and concerns about the exhaust scraping where it goes under the rear differential?

I upgraded the snail, it’s a PTE billet wheel on my 42R! Should work great, I have heard that one of the Buick guys picked up something like 125 whp with the billet upgrade. It’s the same compressor wheel used in MAP’s Evo drag car. The old cover and cast wheel have turned into garage art. More to come later.

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
This was done late last summer, but i thought I would throw them up.
Parachute pics, I made my own mount with receiver. I turned a piece on my lathe for the receiver. http://i412.photobucket.com/albums/p...r/IMAG0152.jpg And here is the finished version with the parachute mounted. http://i412.photobucket.com/albums/p...r/IMAG0156.jpg Finally what it looks like without the chute installed. http://i412.photobucket.com/albums/p...r/IMAG0174.jpg |
Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
One last pic of chute recieve pic.
http://i412.photobucket.com/albums/p...r/IMAG0151.jpg I did all of this rear end work last year. The tow eliminator kit, all poly bushings and replaced all of the control arms with adjustable ones. I had the car aligned with the rear tires straight up and down with no toe in. I also have a set of Ksport RR coilovers with an 18kg/mm spring rate in the rear. No ride quality on the street, it also sucks in the cornering department. http://i412.photobucket.com/albums/p...r/IMGP3765.jpg I just put carpet back in yesterday. http://i412.photobucket.com/albums/p...312_180825.jpg |

I’m excited to see what kind of power the new turbine will make, the difference between the cast and the billet wheel is night and day. |

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
I changed my valve cover venting from 2 –an8’s to a catch can with a single little filter. I was filling the catch can up with oil. From empty to overflowing in one pass! I added a HLA, plugged the vents in the valve cover and drilled a new hole in the back of the head for an –an16 fitting. The machining pictures are of my new stage 5 MAP head.

Yea the pictures were taken with my phone, it must be how they were loaded into the Photobucket’s phone app. I just hacked android on my HD2 this week, I’m new to the droid world. The car should be running in two-three weeks, and ready for the track in the beginning of May. This winter has been a busy one. |
Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
Nice work Mark, LOVE this car!
Still have my old red 1g as a winter beater? :) |
Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
Glad to see someone knows how to use real tools. Bridgeport ftw.

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
Makes me sad people have hit it, I don't get how careless and clueless people can be sometimes lol. Yea, lets just back out of our driveway without taking advantage of the mirrors and turning my head to see what is behind me.
Car was damn clean for 250k on the clock minus the rust on the driver side rear quarter panel. Keep us updated on this blue beast and maybe I'll see you at Cedarvale again! |
Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
Great work Mark!! I'm doing the same thing to my head with the -16 right there! Maybe I could swing by and you could tap my head for a fee??? :D
|
Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
Nice progress since I seen it.
|
Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
It's done. I drove it about 50 miles this weekend. Everything is great, no issues. Exhaust sounds rowdy,) a lot deeper note. Cannot tell if there is any turbo spool difference. Saw 30 Psi @ 5700, that's where it was set for the first drive.

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
My buddy sent me a picture text of under the hood of your car at that dyno day deal on saturday. I laughed when he sent it to me. I'm like hey I know that guy. Magnus told me hes a d-bag ;)
|
Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
Dyno numbers?
|
Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
Got any bigger pics of that sweet catch can?
|
Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
Can't wait to see the finished product in person. That engine bay looks clean enough to eat off of.

Did you change the tune before you saw 30psi? DId it go lean so you know that wheel is making more power? |

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
Just took a catch can and engine bay pic.
[IMG]http://i412.photobucket.com/albums/p...ebay2011-1.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i412.photobucket.com/albums/p...CatchCan-1.jpg[/IMG] I took the car back out today, turned up the boost to 35psi and got the AFR's dialed in further. I took my wife out for a ride and did a 3-4 gear pull. The car is fing fast, and after I got out of the gas I looked over at her to find that she was crying. She told me that she doesn’t want to ride in the car ever again. My bad. |
