Popular Post ISpoolOldSchool Posted December 10, 2008 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Hey everyone, im mark. im living in charleston WV right now but im moving to columbus this fall to go to OSU. I was wanting to join up here to meet some people and see what the automotive scene in columbus was like, cause it kinda sucks down here. ive got a few rides, most are work-in-progress my baby is my 1986 grand national. its got je forged pistons, te44 turbo, a th400 tranny, ported heads and intake, and a 212/212 cam just to name a little of what its got done. im getting pretty anxious to take it to the track, the guy that owned it before me ran a 12.94@112 with a 2.4 sixty foot... which is pretty weak. that was also before i put a new cam in it (it destroyed the lobe and lifter on cylinder#3) fixed the brakes (it wouldnt build any boost on the line) fixed both motor mounts and soon im going to rebuild the tranny and hopefully add alcohol injection, id like to have it in mid-high 11s with alky and this turbo. heres some pics http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b200/dragcamaro/car/Grand%20National/P1010136.jpg http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b200/dragcamaro/car/Grand%20National/P1010135.jpg http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b200/dragcamaro/car/Grand%20National/P1010131.jpg and this is my 2000 z28 DD http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b200/dragcamaro/car/Project%20Candy%20Cane/0806081529-00.jpg it looks purple but its really a dark red This is my drag car project as it sits now, my dad and i plan to run A/SA when we get it done. http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b200/dragcamaro/car/Drag%20Car/1010081606-01.jpg http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b200/dragcamaro/car/Drag%20Car/1010081606-03.jpg http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b200/dragcamaro/car/Drag%20Car/1010081607-00.jpg since the pictures weve got afco shocks and springs on its, the underside is painted and all the suspension work has been painted. Thats basically my life story haha. my family has always owned an shop so weve always been working on something. thanks, Mark 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenny Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Why a TH400? Call Vince Janis (330-753-6609, Akron) or Lonnie Diers (937-379-2233, Cinci area), put a 200-4R back in like it should be. 11's should be simple with a TE44. You need any help when you're up this way let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenny Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Shit I just looked at the MPH from the other dude... you've already got 11s covered if that was with a wiped lobe. My old T went 11.80s all day on drag radials at 112. 60' in the 1.6 range and you're there. Cake walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wagner Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Nice rides. A/SA for the camaro should be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ISpoolOldSchool Posted December 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 thats what im hoping. its got ET streets on it now so it aughta hook. the guy that oned it before me was a retard. there wasnt even a gasket on the downpipe. he gapped the plugs to .015 as well... idk why. right now the money im putting into the car is just fixing the other guys mistakes haha. im going to take it off the frame in january since its missing half the body bushings (bolt rusted out or just rotted and gone) and fix all his screw ups in the engine. you should have saw the oil pan gasket. he had it so tight it broke into 3 pieces. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ISpoolOldSchool Posted December 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Nice rides. A/SA for the camaro should be fun. yea im hoping. first runs will probably be at national trail next year if anyone wants to come watch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenny Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Downpipe shouldn't need a gasket, it and the turbo should be machine surfaces. Though, with my current downpipe (which I bought because I didn't realize I had better options, I wanted a THDP or an ATR... which you can no longer get) it has a leak around it, so I had to buy a gasket. Not happy about that. You should see the hot air motor I just picked up complete for $500. Home boy used NA head gaskets, #2 piston has never seen a spark, loose bolts all over, etc etc. He complained it didn't make enough power... no shit?

Run CR42TS gapped at .035 haha thats great. was $500 the turbo setup and all? it does though, its leaking terrible around the bottom, the area around the turbo isnt leaking but im leaking out of the area where my external wastegate pipe meets up to it thanks for the welcome guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should make a good beater motor. Aside from the dumb stuff he did the machine work looks good. We'll see how long it holds up. What downpipe is it?

ISpoolOldSchool Posted December 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 i honestly dont know, its a 3in external gate, but look in my picture at how the gate sits, i havent saw one like that, the gate sticks up on it not forward like in most others ive saw. its got ATR headers on it supposidely, i thnk theyre knock offs. like i said the cars got problems, i got a pretty good deal on it though so i still think its worth it. i only paid $6000 for the car. 90k miles and the interior is perfect except the seat brackets got gangsta lean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenny Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 That's a steal and a half for $6k. Got better pics of the headers? I can tell you if they're ATR or not... Downpipe might be theirs too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ISpoolOldSchool Posted December 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 yea i called the past owner a retard and couldnt even spell owned haha That's a steal and a half for $6k. Got better pics of the headers? I can tell you if they're ATR or not... Downpipe might be theirs too... it may be, it had a lot of atr stuff on it. it had an atr front bumper too at one time, until the tranny went out on the past owner. he figured the fiberglass would be strong enough to tow by i guess. needless to say its not on there anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ISpoolOldSchool Posted December 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Sweet Jesus that's retarded. I hope you've got Direct Scan or Powerlogger on that shit, I'd be resetting every sensor on the car. ive got a scanmaster, thats it right now. i dont have it completely legal yet, its been sitting in the garage most of the time getting fixed. ive honestly not fixed the cam yet either, the parts are sitting there, i just havent had time to put it all in. its making some rediculous noise, it will throw all the KR it can at it when your cruising because of that lifter. id love to do something like that in a camaro, but those ls engines are too sweet to pass up. ive got a lq4 6.0 in the garage that was going to go into the maroon camaro in my first post along with a turbo, but i bought the GN instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gergwheel1647545492 Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Yea putting a GN motor in a f-body is too much work anyways. I should have realized that before I did it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenny Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Get Powerlogger ASAP. Scanmaster is only really useful for quick reference, totally worthless for getting any data at the track. Don't get Greg borrow it either, mother fucker will light it on fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
