Lool. So it does spool it eh? I had found your video on youtube this morning when I was browsing, the latest ones you posted up.

What do you have for gearing?

12 on the clutch and 72 on the axle lol

12 on the clutch and 72 on the axle lol

Sheesh. Same gear ratio as mine. I'm thinking of going with a 54 tooth on my axle. (I think)

i could definitively go down in ratio but i'll leave it alone for a while lol

I can hear the turbo spool no problem. Great job!

 

[lemegacool]

thanks tyler! the only problem is that the sound of the turbo is quite loud and annoys neighbors LOL for me i giggle each time i let go the gas and i hear VROOoowiiiiiii ii iiiii iiiiii LMAO

 

[jr dragster T]

Lol, Would it be possible to add a pipe onto the turbo from the exhaust side? I think the turbo would sound less whistly and more bad a$$

yeah i guess... i'll have to remove the turbo's cartridge from the turbine's housing and weld lets say a 3/4 npt half coupling right over the turbine's outlet then screw a galvanised nipple on it... like on a flathead lol. but hey winter is coming and piled snow on each side of the road is muffling sound quite well lol

Could you tap the housing and use a downpipe?

 

[lemegacool]

tapping the housing would be a huge PITA ... welding a half coupler in front of it would be way easier... but then what... just a pipe? i dont want a muffler turbo's hate restriction lol

Get a fart can

Get a fart can

i just bought some **** to rice it up a little and i went --ll-- that close to buy a hayabusa muffler on ebay... nut i said myself naaaa way too big...

finaly the poor performance in the video was explained by a snapped exhaust flange LOL massive loss of exhaust flow... now its not gonna break i did 3 passes of weld each side lol

went for a test ride an had to let go the pedal because i was scared LOL

yknow what... i think i will try to enlarge the jet again ... YES bigger than 3/32" lol

next step is redoing the steering system COMPLETELY and this time with proper geometry... not 90* spindles

You aré basically running an open exhaust so the hayabusa muffer would have been fine dude and would of added a nice aggresive exhaust note.

Re-jetting? Dude your going to kill yourself

 

[1992suburban]

i would leave it open. after the turbo its prolly NOTto loud..
