1990 Coupe - 'budget' turbo kit

[turbostang]

Like I said already. Seriously jealous!

Bad ass ride for sure.

Thanks man! I'll 'pretty it up' this winter depending on how things go with the shop, work flow etc.

Small update. Borrowed a torque converter from BigThumper to test out with the new 98/88 turbo. It made a big difference, it picked up 200-300RPM on the shift, and dropped 600RPM on the top end.

First pass was bad, I turned it down because of not bieng sure what the new converter would do to it. The car launched like a turd and started making some headway about 100' out. Kinda what I expected.. Then at about 600' it got REAL loose and over into Dville's lane. He ran 5.84. Expand the screen and watch the end of the video as the car passes the lights.

2nd pass was better, turned it up to where it was the previous week. Carried the wheels a lot further and 60'd 1.30 (not as good as it's done in the past).

Any better last night?

Yeah. After changing the instant center, it 100% made it a 'different' car. It totally screwed the shock settings. I tightened up the fronts to 7 on this first pass and it literally spun so bad the car hopped up off the ground and landed sideways.

This is the 5th attempt I think. I'll go back and edit shortly, and add the other passes.. but for now.

After a few shock changes and putting the power back into it. The best pass, 60, and MPH todate this pass.
