cletus Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 sorry dont have any video of it. ive recently changed the muffler (was a 50 series flowmaster) cause it was a bit quiet/restrictive on boost, its all straight thru 3'' now and its not very loud, the turbo does shut it up a bit. but yes, definetly still sounds like a v8, cheers KY Quote
vgv8 Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 Farkin awesome pictures and post. It will be interesting to see on the road. Good luck Quote
grunta Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 dude , thats looking good! love the drag racing wheel selection!!! Quote
RUNAMUCK Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 I <3 this car! Were you manually shifting the trans? Quote
andy Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 Awesome Clint. Love the detail in the engine bay. Quote
cletus Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 yes manual shift, in drive it shifts a bit early even with the kickdown adjusted right out, about 5000rpm Quote
Sparkle Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 tridents win the battle! Looks choice man Quote
RUNAMUCK Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 Nice link Clint. All the same stuff is in a holley book I have. Holley's are nice and simple. But fuck me they love to leak. What size did you finish up drilling your power valve restriction orifaces to? Also what Vac power valve do you run? Quote
yoeddynz Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 Wow- loads of info on that turboforums.com! cool. good link. Quote
cletus Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 PVCR drilled to 2mm, near enough to .078, 6.5 PV at fist i thought id cocked that up, full load AFRs went to 9.8-10.0 ish, was like someone pulled the choke on. i had bowl vent extensions on it which the other carb needed, took those off and went down a jet size primary and secondary and its now at 11.2. still on the rich side but its safe. goes good Quote
RUNAMUCK Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 Whats the dealio with the jet extensions? I've never come accross those before. Quote
cletus Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 jet extensions move the secondary jets back a bit in the bowl so under hard acceleration the jets dont get uncovered by fuel bowl vent extensions= in my case 2 rubber hoses off the bowl vents that extend into the hat. improves the pressure signal to the bowls by facing the inlet hole straight into the airflow. i believe in some cases the air going across the top of the vertical vent tubes acts like a venturi and can reduce the pressure in the bowl very slightly, and it wouldnt take much pressure difference between the bowls and the rest of the carb to affect fuel flow thru the jets. it must work, removing the extensions alone was enough to take it from the 9.8-10.0 figure, to about 10.5- 10.8, the rest was the jet size change Quote
Beaver Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 shit yes, those pics made my day. specially the one with you cracking a big grin looking at the camera Quote
lush Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 seeing this car makes me want to sell all my mitsishittys and buy a valiant, such a sweet car boe Quote
felixx Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 shit yes, those pics made my day. specially the one with you cracking a big grin looking at the camera And the other one where the skid was starting and smoke is making patterns thru the holes in your tridents Quote
RUNAMUCK Posted May 20, 2012 Posted May 20, 2012 Nice subframe connectors Clint. Dad has a VF hardtop with the roof removed. Some of those might be the order of the day for it too. How are the AFR's with your old carb back on? Does the exra boost make much of a difference? Quote
cletus Posted May 20, 2012 Posted May 20, 2012 its quite good, the extra boost makes a difference. i like to get the most out of it at each stage before just winding in 1 million boosts, hence only going up 3psi for now idle afr about 13.0 light open road cruise 14.5 wot 11.2 it has a boost referenced power valve now, which doesnt take much throttle to open it. Quote
RUNAMUCK Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 14.5 is nice for cruising! Do you know what they did to your carb? Quote
cletus Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 the main thing was boost referencing the power valve, it now has an external fitting that takes boost/vac from the carb baseplate, and the carb hat. i didnt think it would make much of a difference but the power valve opens much sooner now, can tell by watching the af meter you can see it drop with light throttle application the boosters have been changed to what look like holley ones, no more dribbly fuel, it comes out in a fine mist. and there are modifications to the emulsion holes and power valve channels. thats all i can remember seeing in there....... i put some holley pump squirters on it as well im real pleased with how it runs now.
