[plymouth_hemi_69]

hey thort i would show you all my new turbo v8 i brought it and am just finishing it off getting it certd shortly after i install a new lsd 9" and plumb the twin wastegates back in the car has 337 kw its a 5L v8 got a wasted spark setup has a massive custom plenum and custom throttle body 60lber Siemens injectors high performance fuel pressure regulator
tuned lenth manifolds a big hx50 turbo boosting 7 psi on half throttle and 13psi on full throttle
running twin 38mm turbosmart wastegates a 50mm turbosmart bov a big intercooler a 700 buck alloy radiator all a big trans cooler a big 3" exhaust and all controlled buy a link g3 ecu has a turbo 400 trans with a turbo 350 torque converter for higher stall and a single piece driveshaft into a 9" minispooled diff turbo starts spooling at 2500 and is pinning you in the seat at 3000rpm frys the tyres at 100km and drifts out while overtaking at 120km all sitting in a vn body here are some pics

Tis a beast!

[Sheany]

Very nice... now clean the engine bay
How is it to drive?

[delcowizzid]

from what i hear it overtakes cars sideways

[pow3rslave]

what's the go with the coil-per-cylinder, how'd you hook that up?

[delcowizzid]

wasted spark with duel igniters (on the firewall) run off the aftermarket link ecu you can do the same with cadilac northstar DFI ignition module for the 304 on the stock ecu if you ever desire seperate coils dont know how its being triggered i presume from the hall effect sensor in the dizzy

[betts]

Whats the benefit of having so much spark?

The manifold is interesting, I bet she goes like a scolded cat, nice pickup!

[plymouth_hemi_69]

cheers for that and i will definatly clean it the car is a monster aye but can still be improved alot with the tune so look of for alot more power shortly

[immortality]

hope you never need to alter the dizzy timing

the LINK will trigger off the dizzy but LINK make there own custom igniters so you can setup any ignition system you like. the LINK really is a good system. i run a earlier version in the VH. lots of boost means you need to close the spark plug gap otherwise under boost the spark gets "blown out" so to speak but with small plug gaps you loose some off boost performance. with a real strong ignition system you will be able to maintain a decent spark plug gap and still ignite the fire under boost

[plymouth_hemi_69]

ahhh thats good to no i didnt realise all of that

[betts]

Ah I thought it would have been something to do with higher spark needed due to more cylinder pressure under boost. By my calculation it's making roughly 250rwkw, which is very good power from a stock 304, would like to see a video posted up

[plymouth_hemi_69]

yeah i get my licence back on saturday so im hoping to have a few vids then just gotta remeber that its not tuned that welll

yeah, higher cylinder pressures mean you need more spark energy to jump the same gap. hence the reason you normally reduce the plug gaps. can't hurt to have a nice hot spark. worste case senario you need to change your plugs a little more often

Nice man

mechanically it looks pretty brutal, can imagine it would hammer pretty good
I hate being this honest man, but aesthetically it looks like a big white turd though :S....

clean it up the body and interior a lil and u've got yourself a sweet as package

god, i couldnt have said that better myself.

come on bro, out with the buff and polish PLEASSE

[plymouth_hemi_69]

not every1 nos how to buff and polish care to give some lessons?

[Nzpure]

Nah bro us kiwi's don't care about being pretty we only like manly things like power and big noises =P

[immortality]

brings a new meaning to the term "bug catcher"

[plymouth_hemi_69]

hahahaahaha yeah true

[Warranty Void]

How the hell do you get something like that through a change of owners without getting binned?

[immortality]

How the hell do you get something like that through a change of owners without getting binned?

fairly easily here in NZ mate. FFS dealerships can sell cars to unlicensed drivers with bad credit histories so you can pretty much do what ever you like here

[plymouth_hemi_69]

haha good ol nz

[ari666]

not every1 nos how to buff and polish care to give some lessons?

lol, yeah. spit on a rag and rub it on yer paint

[plymouth_hemi_69]

hhahahaha ok i will give it a go when i clean it lol
need alot of spit

[plymouth_hemi_69]

hey guys anyone no where i can get forged pistons and rods from for the 304
