    The Luxocruiser 3650 lb sled thread

    I thought I should add a few more progress pictures. There is a Boss Jr picture floating around this site already, and I wanted to add two more. They are informal pictures, not scaled for comparison, but they are side by side. You can see how much better that exhaust housing is. Even if I had...

    Chunks' Build

    Do you still think of a change to a 700R4/4L60? How is the SupraStick? What turbo are you running? That looks like a T04Z in your avatar, not a Masterpower T70.

    Teamslow's 7m SuperStreet Build

    The black powder coat looks good. Your idea for the car is also correct. I didn't get the 60-1, but the 57 because I am trying limiting myself to 350-375. With the head work, you will make more power at lower boost levels. This should work out quite nicely for you. Well done.

    89T with GT35R and FFIM

    The GT35R comes with a T3 exhaust housing. Or at least it did. And a few turbo vendors sold it with a T4 they put on the exhaust. And a few here had difficulty, it was like the maker didn't plan how to put on the lines. Yours looks fine in the picture, assuming that is the oil feed on top.

    Early Vs Late 7M Blocks

    I was only joking about posting all the heads. I have seen a few castings here and there posted. Like the divided runner and open. One of them was a number 9, but I couldn't tell you which.

    89T with GT35R and FFIM

    Looks nice. T4 or T3 manifold? Some people had difficulty with the T4 and oil hook ups. From what I read here. I like the flex section on the downpipe. It makes movement much easier when working, and of course it abosorbs torsion from the car. The car really does look clean. I have work to...

    safc neo sensors

    Say what? The Karman Vortex is used in the 7MGTE as pointed out, and the Vain Airflow Meter is used in the 7MGE.

    Small difference with wastegate accurator on two CT26's.. is it ok to use?

    No. With out a spark confirmation, the fuel injection is halted. The initial squirt with the STA signal is nothing to worry about. Max boost between auto and manual is from the heavy load of the manual. The auto slips with the fluid coupling.

    Boost and HP quess

    It has everything to do with rebuilding and almost nothing to do with performance. In the case of a small engine like ours. You do not have a 500 cubic inch engine, yours is 180. Do the math. That takes you to just over 184 ci, from 180. If you were running that Kieth Black Olds big block, sure...

    How about the 12 or so castings for the head?

    Boss turbo or driftmotion????

    A fast spool is dependant on more than one factor, and a big factor is the exhaust area to radius, called AR, as you have probably seen. The bolt ons to the stock manifold are the best responding. But that doesn't a good turbo and good setup will not be signficant gain down low. A T4 will...

    The Luxocruiser 3650 lb sled thread

    I wanted to give a thumbs up to SupraSport/LIPP. Not just for the Boss Jr and their dedication to our hobby, but the CT26 install kit. The lines are suuuweeeet. The OEM hard oil line for the feed and return is just a pain. The install kit is all that and a bag of chips. I am also putting on...

    7mgte start, run for 2-3 seconds...then die...every time

    Do you know how to pull the codes? Have you looked at the air intake after the airflow meter and before the throttle body? A good sized gap will cause a stall unless you bring engine speed up a lot.

    Please help with Fuel Pump Power question

    And I didn't read all of his OP. He is describing bad/loose connections. I skimmed then went into replies.

    There is another relay after the COR. The fuel pump specific relay.

    The METAL Or SILICON Accordion??

    The stock intake looks best when new. I have a picture of it in the build thread. Put it in the nice warm sun, and have a little bit of grease to slip it over the meter.

    7mgte start, run for 2-3 seconds...then die...every time

    Diagnostic Trouble Codes Do you understand that if you have spark, but lose the spark confirmation signal, the car will start, then stall. I don't know that is your problem, but the symptom fits and should be looked at.
