Don't have any of the Vette.....

:lol: That doesn't sound just right.....:hmm:

And yes, I know what a Wankel is. Rebuilt a 13b for my Senior project in Auto Shop back in HS.:D

You knew I had to respond sooner or later:

My '85 928S.....V8, 5.0 liters, 32 valves.....and very, very little room to work.

1997 Acura Integra - T Type LOL

Wow Coucher that first pic is anice one;)

Thanks. That's an old pic. Not much changed just a bigger turbo. In that pic the car had a TA-49 on it, now it has a T-70. :D

Thumbs up to the turbo cars! Noice. Gotta get going on my turbo big block. :D

Specs?

Please someone post one of a Vette!
/ my favorite!

Here's a Corvette LT1 engine.

Of course....it's been installed in a 928 (the previous engine needed to be rebuilt....too much $$$ ;)

FastShark: is the owner of that 928 w/ the LT1 a friend of yours? If so, do you know how tough the install was? I am suprised it fit :D Thats pretty awesome :thumbsup:

Yeah...he is a friend of mine. He said it took him about 3 months to do it all, but he was only working on it on nights and weekends.

I think the hardest part was matching the flywheel to the transmission (trannys are in the rear of 928s).

It's quite a quick car for a 3 speed automatic (later 928 autos had 4 speed auto trannies). Manuals were always 5 speed.

With his 3 speed auto tranny, he was getting 13.5 100mph+ quarter mile times.....and he hasn't even tuned it in yet.

Here's a link to some photos another buddy of mine took when we all hit the drag strip this past summer:

928 Drag racing

Yeah, both engine bays need cleaning and detailing. I'll get to that before winter, I hope.

I don't have any picture hosting right now, but I do have pics of the engines of both vehicles in my sig.

that LS1 Porsche was cool as hell Shark

thadon:

There are a lot more pictures of it here:

Porschevy LT1 website

It's an '81 model, and the sound system is incredible. The guy removed the rear seats in favor of amps and subs.

Oh my I want to see that sixpack.

JBX, what, you drive a Civic? :p

heh, my guess would be rotary. They closely resemble a hampster wheel. :D

Not mine, but a couple from the car show:

Nothing beats a Big Block Chevy

Umm...sorry Pain, but I think a Supercharged Big Block Chevy beats a Big Block Chevy! :p

Here is mine...courtesy of a spun rod bearing!!

mmm.....turbooooo...... :D

EROK:

Looks like you've got a big project ahead of you. If you want to clean as you go, try some Simple Green or (believe it or not) "Gunk". It really helps to break down old dirt and grime.

Ill hafta find the article, but if ya use simple green be careful. Many harsh cleaners, particularly that one, can really fubar your aluminum.

Lol I just helped a friend replace his.....the previous owner of his let the car go 50,000 Miles over the recommended mileage for the timing belt change....resulting in two exhaust valves wedged into two pistons.

Ohhhhhhhhhh, turbo eclipse... my friend has a N/A one that we need to put a new header on (the current one has a huge crack and the car sounds like a tractor :-/)

Well, nothing really concrete yet, but the prelims are:
462 cube big block Chevy
Dart Iron Eagle or World Products Merlin heads
Large-ish solid roller cam on wide LSA
Victor Jr. intake
two Air Research or Gerrett T04 turbos

Something like that. Not much is in stone yet so it may grow to a 502 if I get rich. I'm hoping for about 1200 streetable hp on pump gas. I think it can do it with two T04's. I will go as big as I need until money runs out. Which is never far enough!

Also looks like the alternator is burnt.

Well, I have a '97 Buick Century, and I can save time by saying that it looks exactly like the Cutlass.

Wanna Race? :hmm: :eek: :D

Wow spider what type of car is that?

Now thats a trubo if I haven't seen one.

1989 Corvette if I recall correctly. I have a ton of info on the car somewhere.

The old vettes are the best.

This is the turbo that's on my Trans Am..... :D

Very Nice? whats the CD for? to show size?

Yeah,....just as a size reference.

:D

Time to resurrect a good ol' thread

BADUMP!!!!!!!!!!!

Hmm, I'll have to go take a picture of the fairlane's when I'm more awake.
352 Police Interceptor engine or whatnot.

http://www.isprank.com/adam/03.jpg

That's my Mark VIII.

Anyone here have a Taurus SHO? The V6s had the coolest looking engine compartments.

If this thread is still alive when I pick up my Chrysler Daytona Shelby-Z, I will snap some shots of it. Its got a 2.2L Turbo in it! I'm getting the engine rebuilt as soon as I get it!

Man what a bunch of great pics!! It's amazing how different they all look.

ugh.... so many of the engines are all nice and clean and shiney... mine looks like a big mud/dirt/grime/oil coated thing... im too embarassed

so how would one clean an engine up? a friend of mine said just get a pressure nozzle and spray everything down while the engines running? i would think that could cause probs... like getting water in the air intake or somethin??

im not too positive how to clean it, but if you do...do not do it while the engine is running. Because of all the electrical connections and high pressure water, it just makes sense to me to do it while the battery is disconected, or while no power is running through it. Let it dry, then run the engine. Maybe thats wrong, but it seems logical enough to me.

Haha dont worry JStrider,
Both the 350 in my truck and the 1.6L in my fiat are good and dirty. It shows that the cars are actually driven, hehe.
I clean them every once and a while. I have found the easiest was is to go down to one of those self-service car washes. The ones in my town have a dereaser you can spray on and then pressure wash off with hot water. Back when he had it, I would also use my boss's Hotsy Steam cleaner. Boiling water and soap at 1500 psi did a pretty good job on the grease....


oh yeah, and turn the engine off, and try not to directly blast your distributor or your car's computer if its in the engine compartment.

well i sprayed off the outer layer of the dirt... so it looks a bit better...

heres from the front

well there she is... my 4.0 liter 6 cylinder with a whopping 160 hp at 4200 rpm...

yah... a bit underpowered to push around my explorer.... ohwell... would prolly be dangerous if i was given much more power :p

My newest motor. 406, Dart heads, Super Victor, roller cammed SBC.
