I cut the effin' doors off of one today... That is all...

turbo coupe???

nevermind, a turbo thunderbird lol. wat were the mods on it?

 

dual flows dumped, Ranger Roller Cam conversion (since it rounded all the lobes on the original flat tappet cam, lol) kaboosa controller... all i know is it sounds like its spooling 3984572903857 pounds of boost and goes no where lol

 

not much of a story there.

 

nope but all of my friends make fun of these sections saying how "i bet theres a maxima forum where a guy is saying he just beat this badass GTO in the kills section" and if you've ever been on Thirdgen.org you'd see why we make fun of them...

said GTO still holds M6 bolton record at 12.19@110mph

 

Said GTO does not hold the bolt on record. There are faster bolt on ones.

 

someone finally beat the LS1 M6 record? i know LS1Melissa was faster but she was A4

 

those turbo coupes can be made fast, there is prob something wrong with that one

 

This thread is gay like Canada.

 

oh yeah, theres something haggard with it... either massive boost leaks or no timing.

 

maybe ls1 record there are a few m6 goats in the 11's on other sites.

 

yeah It set the LS1 M6 record in late 2008 IIRC. Russ Ethridge aka GreenbeanZ28, he set the bolt-on LT1 record years back and won the GMHTP Bolt-on LT1 shootout. Last november i went with him and our friend diggler to darlington where they set the stock shortblock LT1 record... 9.44@138 on nitrous in a 88 GTA lol

 

Those can be strong runners. The ranger rollercam conversion really isnt worth much though.


Now if hed do a bobs intake and bobs exhaust manifold with a boport stage 3 solid lifter head an hx35 turbo with a boport 2.5 cam hed be well on his way to 300+whp.

Ive often thought about getting this retired scca svo sitting down the road from my apartment and doing that exact build on it. The 2.3 on an unported head can spool that turbo to around 38lbs by 3200rpms.


But with that said the auto turbocoupes were only 150hp and 190hp for a 5spd depending on year. The last 2 years of them did 190hp but did it on a tiny IHI turbo which was smaller than the earlier T3 60 trim. Anything above 19lbs on the ihi and your just heating the air not making anymore power. The t3 is good to low 20s.

 

i doubt it is making 120hp at the tire...my buddy pulled passed him in 6th at half throttle in his 04 gto...

 

what year is it? sadly most of the manuals are high 15 cars due to age weight and poor drivers autos are pretty much stock in 16 second land and have a horrible transmission that takes poorly to additional power.

 

How heavy was the car?

 

3870 With Driver IIRC... he had back seat, pass seat, tank brace, tow brace, skid plate, wing and i think something else off the car... nothing really special done to the suspension... Pedders Big Bore shocks in back with 5/16" lift drag springs and i think it had all of the poly stuff by then.

here are some photos that i took of the car in march of last year...

 

Wait, I'm confused. . . You said lt1 and 88 gta. That car is not an 88 gta and does not have an lt1. Wrong pics?

 

sorry, apparently i cant read lol... Thats the Bolt-On LS1 M6 GTO record car i was talking about.

heres the LT1 GTA at Darlington... I did a quick article for it for a blog that my friend runs...
