^ Well, 30psi on a 2.4 is flowing a lot more air than 30psi on a 2.0.

[dsmreck]

No it was e82 according to Shane. I guess I'm not following the question though as in bad numbers or?

True.


No, not bad numbers, not bad at all! But I guess when I think of a 3582 being "maxed" I think like 40psi and 700+ whp is all. I think brad was making about 600 on his 3065?

[Shane@DBPerformance]

Brad had a 100 shot of nitrous.

[goodhart]

Looks like a 3065 and 3582 use the same compressor wheel. Guessing the 3582 has a bigger turbine. Anyways, wasn't meaning to bash by any means, just asking because I see so many people now days saying they need to upgrade their turbo when they aren't even putting their current one to full potential.

[dsmreck]

I think we were close for sure, I think we all know Shane would have easily done 550 with his tuning skills by tuning around timing etc but I felt it wasn't needed. Don't get me wrong it's fast, I just think I may want to go faster. As of now I will most likely rock the 3582, but if I can't run as fast as I want to I will have to upgrade for sure. This motor will be obviously be different in so many ways it may be fun just to see the difference in that aspect before a turbo upgrade anyways.

Btw ban goodhart for saying Shane's tunes suck lolololol jk.

[AB 2.4]

Nick don't forget about the GVR4, and the original AB car.

Haha he lives! Car looks awesome man!!

[dsmreck]

Lol damn bro it's good to see you on here. Legendary first post. Yes it's true I am just the newb in the group as far as time goes. I would love to start posting up the dream gvr4 on here. I'm going to steal that sucker when u come here. I believe I am tuning the og team ab car soon. Time to let the 3065 rip.

[dsmreck]

here is some more progress with mine and andre cars. I got some putsy work done moving things for fit and function and mocked up the intake and exhaust.


and here are some pics of andre progress with the sickest way to mount up a radiator i have ever seen.

[turbotalon1g]

I think the force engineering guy did that with his compound setup.

You guys should make a thread for each car, you have some nice work/time into these.

[dsmreck]

more badd asss photos of cars. FINALLY PICS OF THE OG TEAM AB CAR, well after andre spent a day on it.

[dsmreck]

I took a few photos for everyone here. I spent a whole day on wiring as you will see the mess in the pic. I ended up completing most of the wiring from the firewall harness so now it is much shorter and hidden well with nice looms etc. The other pic is the three cars in the garage being worked on.

[turbotalon1g]

You guys got some clean looking 2Gs.
I'm excited to see these cars, looks like some quality stuff on here.

[dsmreck]

Thanks we are doing our best to piss out wives off it seems and spend way too much money on our diamonds for sure. I should be able to finish my wiring this evening I hope and we will also be trying to get guys 2.4 back on the road after some clutch drag issues and replacing the 5/reverse hub and slider

[dsmDolney]

Lookin real nice guys im jealous hopefully mine turnes out somewere close to urs and what did you paint ur tranny with it looks great

[dsmreck]

Thanks man, it was vht can't remember the exact color off hand, but I really like it

[SlowWhite]

Is that a white 2g on the lift?..... they do still exist lol.

[Halon]

These cars look really good! But I have a dumb question, as I read through this thread it seems like I'm supposed to know what Team AB is, whose cars these are, who the OG is, etc. I guess I must be out of the loop now a days because I'm getting confused with all of these references. How many cars you working on? Whose are they? I'm just confused with all theses references / accronyms?
