OFFICAL 06blackg85ss Build (some new toys arrived this week)

[06blackg85ss]

now the fun really begins..

oh yeah and my mascot

[p7x]

nice, whats ETA up and running???

[06blackg85ss]

A few weeks hopefully... just waiting on my ARP stuff and head gasket to finally get in. But I"ll be testing on the stock motor for now since my head was finally sent out to be cnc ported, custom cams, oversized valves, Ti retainers, new valve springs.... It's all out being worked, just waiting for it to come back.
Also gonna probably swap out the compressor housing to a t-60 for now just so I can fit it somewhere.

[06blackg85ss]

9.5:1 for this build, waiting for someone to release a 8,5:1 or 8.0:1 compression. Might hold off on motor assembly til then. Gotta see what comes up. Want to do this once the right way and have a motor that lasts. But I will be building up my stock one also as a spare just in case I have problems

[p7x]

what turbo is that?

[06blackg85ss]

some more pics... waiting on the my intercooler, piping, clamps, and godzilla blowoff valve to arrive next week...

Damn that is going to be a crazy setup. Im just wondering if you could tell me where you are sending your heads out and how much it is for you because I am actually considering JBP stage 3 heads so I am not sure if there is another option for me thanks.

[06blackg85ss]

it's a Turbonetics custom T-76 Ceramic ball bearing, big shaft, Q-trim turbo. A little big, but the price was rediculous, so I'll probably just swap housings around til I come up with a good combo. This turbo cost my Friend over $2500 new. Not gonna say what I paid for it lol. butit only had 3 dyno pulls on it. thing is as close to brand new as you can get

head is being done by the guys that did jason whitfields cobalt... close to the same spec and setup too...

[pimpnwink]

Thanks for the info.

[06blackg85ss]

once I get all the specs back to me I"ll post em up in this thread

[p7x]

O ya I remember you postin that, I can't wait to this beast tearin it up.

Wouldn't a lower compression like 8.5 or 8.0:1 be better, but i've heard sticking to 9.5:1 would be easier for tuning

[06blackg85ss]

I would rather have the lower compression, might end up having a set made and sell the 9.5's, just gotta see how difficult tuning will be

[Halfcent]

On a total side note....

Did you know that if you take those plastic vacu-formed accessory displays OUT of those Dremel XPR accessory cases that there are dividers you can use to hold a lot more stuff in those little accessory cases?

[06blackg85ss]

Good idea man. New kit I just bought so don't have many bits yet (my old one got stolen)

You do know that Wiseco made 8.0:1 pistons for me which means it is only a matter of getting them to use the same specs for you, right???

[06blackg85ss]

good shit man. did they create a pn for them? and how much they run you? (you can pm that if you want) I might be placing an order monday then.
Anyone interested in a set of 9.5:1 diamond pistons uncoated... lol

[Coblt ss super]

[06blackg85ss]
