I actually have the money for a TVS right now but I'm gonna take my time and make sure I have all of the right supporting mods for a good setup first so I can get the most out of the swap.

I have dual pass/option B, zzp stage 3 HE, and run a 50/50 meth mix so I have the cooling mods for my setup.

Before I purchase the TVS I want to pick up a pair of axles, an upgraded clutch, and rotated mounts so that is what I want to work on first.

I want to eventually run a TVS with a 2.8 and 80lb injectors on a 80/20 meth mix and custom tune

So as for the questions....

Do you think a pair of stage 1 axles will be good enough for a steet tvs (aka don't want to track it a lot but do engage in quite a bit of spirited driving)?

Will the upgraded GMPP Clutch hold for this setup?

Will I need a return style fuel system or will the 80's suffice?

And I have a CA header, 3'' downpipe, and 2.5'' GMPP exhaust right now but might replace the exhaust with a 3'' but will it really make that much difference?

 

im still on stock axles....

GMPP clutch would be fantastic, again im still on stock

60s with meth will even run a 2.8, 80s will be fine with no return

If you runnning that much boost get all 3inch and some type of longer primary header

 

gmpp clutch is holding 24psi on my bullseye s256 turbo. i think it will hold fine for you

 

Very good clutch as it turned out. I think its made by Sachs who also made the excellent dampers on this car

 

GMPP clutch is a SAAB 2.8t clutch with LNF pressure plate. OEM parts are always ftw in my book.

 

I just bought a tvs and decided to cancel the order with zzp for a turbo swap instead.

Picked up the EFR 6758 with both custom manis from ttr at a 200 difference.


If you push the tvs past the stock pulley you will need 80's and the return for fuel from what i read.

 

On gasoline you wont reach the point of needing a return style system with the TVS

 

Just get the TVs first. If **** brakes replace it with aftermarket.

 

I told ZZP i track my car a good amount. They suggested Stage 3 over 1 for me when i was a fully bolted M62 on slicks.

 

no more ABS for you!

 

you following me, lol

 

newp, saw tvs in the thread title figured i'd lewk...i need to get mine back on the car, have no where local i can "safely" tune though

 

Thats what I was hoping... can anyone confirm this? Ill pick it up if my car is dying for fuel.

Wish there was more E-85 here because I would be all over that but I only have one station in about a 20 mile radius. Sucks.

 

How are the stock parts holding up? Is the clutch slipping at all?

 

Good to hear. By the way, are you coming to the dyno/tune day next sat?

And I know I'll be looking for a tuner for my setup once I pick up all of the parts and I know you and Marc can tune so I might be hitting you up if you don't mind!

 

better off having marc tune you. much more local in case you need a change. i don't tune much anymore. i am trying to come to the meet but my car might not be ready. have to drop the turbo and fix the exhaust leak

 

HAHA isn't that what everyone on this forum does...... ? is building his engine (AKA my **** broke and now I have no other options)

I don't like being stranded


Alright man, thanks anyway

 

For daily driving its fine but I cant shift hard at the track it def slips the GMPP would be much better suited to what im trying to run

 

Yea that is what I have heard.

 

meet? what meet??

 

You know! M-Dub is coming to tune our sh#$ haha

May 7th

 

ooooooooyeeea i forgot, braulio told me about this. i hope i can come for this.

 

Yea man, all of you turbo lsj guys are driving me crazy.... Met jonathan a month or so back and it sounds so nasty. Im gonna stay true to the supercharger though.

 

lol nothing wrong with that. i would've went the tvs route but i came across a stack of cash and i never had a turbo car before so i was like why not now

 

Ahhh nothing like a good ole stack of cash
