I know most people just convert there Omni/Horizon to Turbo but I love my Carbd GLH! With no more than a header, exhaust, cam and a little head milling and you can be as fast as, or faster than a stock GLHT. With these mods my GLH never got a chance on the track, but on the street it could would stay side by side with my cuzs modded '98 R/T neon that ran 15.0s at 91mph!

wow that sounds like a fun car, not one i'd get rid of too. get that puppy fixed.

3 years a go i built the glh when we first got it i was runing a 1.33-6 lap after building to motor porting the g head and intake weber carb backcuting the valves the cam was a custom grind stock lift lots of duration balanced and blueprintred bottom end . 5sp 3.73 gears koni coil over front and rear,3" header back to a flowmaster,msd coil and box was able to get to glh down to 1.26 and that was with 6 year old hard as a hockey puck ra1 tires (budget ran dry) rims were from a golf gti wider &. lighter At the end of the season the car was involed in a t bone we were going to take 1st place when a car a lap down decided to make a left turn glh pealed the neon open ending year 1. after rebuilding to body and converting the wirng to 89 omni tbi making way for batched fired 89 turbo 1 itake but i never go to install the 2.5l tall block t1 rods and flat top 2.2l pistons , gapless rings,remove balance shafts,ported swirl head alu flywheel . sold the car 6 months ago to make way for other projects

Just curious how fast would a tbi 5speed stripped omni be with a decked ported head with back cut stock valves, cam, ported stock intake manifold, header, and exhaust be? If these carb'd cars were doing well would a tbi car be that much better?

[BAKES]

the tbi was little bit slower that why i put a 89 turbo 1intake, 52mm throttlebody and use 19lb injectors form jeep 4.0l and turbo fuel pump. made a big diff wish i had made a n/a cal for it

[itsbudda]

I think TBI would be about the same. If you go mpi though, there'd be quite a difference.

hmm, i have a one piece intake and t2 fuel rail taking up space. do you think the tbi header would be a big restriction with a good exhaust on this setup opposed to a long tube? you ran the mpfi with what computer?

[BAKES]

i batch fired the injectors using a stock 89 tbi /5sp ecm used the whole wiring harness headlamps to tail lamps from the 89 omnni i ran along tube header but when it crack i put a ported stocker in place for 2 weeks wasn't as bad as i thought i would be i think headman headers still makes a header for Lbodies just make sure you put a flex pipe on the colector that is how i cracked it i also heat wrap the header for end to end which help control the under hood temps

[BAKES]

i have seen turbo 1 LM and harness used that was leftovers for t2 upgrades but i always thought you need to add in some timing advance somehow

[srt-rex]

this is a very cool idea, when you say you batch fired do you mean you took the wiring for the single tbi injector and spliced it for the 4 mpfi injectors?

[BAKES]

yes i made a jumper harness from the old tbi injector that to the new injectors wire them a series / parallel to get the ohms right ran it for 3 month no problems but i wanted to put a injector driver in place for racing was worried about overheating the ecm i think mitso 4 cyl used them

[itsbudda]

you could always get the computer from a mexican model.

dam i miss that car now but on a lighter note i bought a 2.5 l turbo omni ice racer last night

[srt-rex]

awesome i bet that engine gets the car moving well. just curious, why did you chose the screen name bakes? i ask because my last name is baker and i've been called that before.
