what is the fastest a stock turbo omni has gone?

[saw wave analog]

yep that powdercoat is holding up very well the fuel rail has a couple spots that arent so pretty but the vc and intake look as awesome as always.

the bottom end and head are unchanged since the red car r.i.p. was yours, i beat the hell out of it regularly and that bottom end has yet to give me any issue.. the turbo is the same tII smoky stocker that you put on the car, so yea that is what i mean by stock turbo. the tranny is the 555 i picked up from you with a t2/t3 clutch, the rest of it is pretty different now though. im almost done with the megasquirt conversion


i actually swapped the tan interior out of the red one into this one as well, because black on tan happens to look awesome

I would rather get it running good at low boost instead of cranking it up early w/out any tune.

On a T-II Garrett turbo?

Make sure you run enough slick if you're really going to try...you're going to run out of gear with a stock A555 in 4th to get the trap speeds necessary for an 11 second pass on a 23" slick.

24.5 is the smallest ill run. id like to go bigger but o dpnt think anything much taller than that will fit. i need to stretch out the gears in the 555 as much as i possibly can.. i really dont like how short the gearing is in this tranny but i cant afford a nice auto right now.... thats next winter

Yeah , I thought I was hot stuff back in 1986 , I had my then new GLH running 14.90's on 205-50 gatorbacks at Rock Falls Raceway , and Todd shows up and rips off a 13.30 @106!If I remember he also had an additional injector setup which I thought was sooo exotic at the time.

Sorry , don't know what happened , posted on the wrong thread

good to see some great headway on the car shane......i sure hope i can join in on the turbododge barage this season, we shall see.....but nice work in the pics, hope to see ya out soon with it

[saw wave analog]

it started and idled yesterday

it was a lot colder out tonight and i canged a few things in hardware, went to start it an hour or so ago and it stumbled around for a bit and then died,, but the wiring and installation of all of my megasquirt stuff is basically done, aside from a few cosmetic things, and i have tomorrow off.. so the terd will be on the road again soon


hopefully that spirit will be out and about this year too... that should be a pretty sweet ass ride too from what i remember that you were doing to it.

the south bend turbo dodges need to step up and represent in 2007

Do the 520/555 hybrid. You wont regret it

my buddy's 87GLHS went from like 12.80 to 12.0 with ONLY a tranny swap from a 555 to the hybrid.

[saw wave analog]

damn

ive heard of people making hybrid trannies but ive never really looked into it.. whats involved?

[SUPER60omni]

I run one in my car and I love it! This is a link to Cliff Ramsdell's site. He did mine for me but he tells you exactly how to do it yourself.http://www.hometown.aol.com/mopartek/hybridtrans.html

[saw wave analog]

hmm

that would sure be a lot cheaper than having an auto built

thanks for the link.. i may actually do that.. the 555 itself is really limiting my car now, but i like driving a 5 speed a lot more than i do autos.. this looks like a pretty damn good solution

[SUPER60omni]

Its a good all around solid tranny. I have a phantom grip and a chromoly end plate in mine and its a great street driver and it takes the abuse at the track pretty good. It would be 100% bulletproof if it had a quaife.

What slick would you reccomend on a 568 car? I am going to run a 2.5 and should do the 523/568 hybrid, but the only thing I am good at with tranny's is adding fluid. hehe. I have 15x6.5" crab wheels to use on the slicks if that matters any.
