Guess I might as well post mine, not much compared to the nice GLHS's on here...

I need to find a Omni/Horizon TBI airbox, just had an idea for it:)

hey boost geek---first off sweet cars!.

ive seen your setup before, i have a question, what kinda fuel system you running, as well as alky injection (nozzle) and boost levels? cause i see you also have a big front mount like i do. just wanting to compare a little

[boost geek]

Thanks guys! The blue car is unfortunately no more, didn't have the room to store an extra car, and rust was taking it's toll.
On my black car, I have a 2.2 G head, ported everything, T2/3.3 intake, 52mm t.b.,255 Walbro with +40s, and an Accufab AFPR, set at about 35 pounds fuel pressure, and an Ebay 12x24x4" intercooler. I also run a Devilsown progressive alky kit with an Ebay 300 cc/min external thread injector.

I have no boost control, (didn't on the blue car either), just a disconnected and shimmed waste gate canister, which pushes 20+ psi on the stock turbo, and I NEVER run anything more than 87 octane.Both cars ran stock T1 engines, never lost a piston yet.:)You can see the nozzle behind the t.b.

Just doing some searching, thought everyone might find this photo interesting from the 81 Chicago Auto Show Show History - Chicago Auto Show You can click on the pic of the Turismo to enlarge.

sweet!, i have damn near the same setup as you. see your getting ready to install a S70 with a .63 exhaust housing, i just put one on my car. what are you doing for A/F monitoring? or are you just using a EGT? i cant get my car to run right at all, at 20psi and alky injection, this thing moves pretty slow, i think im running too rich.

but sweet car, what kind of quarter mile times are you getting with your setup?

Are you talking about that Spyder? I never saw that before. I wouldn't mind T-tops in a Charger or Turismo.

[supercharged024]

Yeah, it does look pretty sweet doesn't it? Needs some stripes(graphics) though.

I just got an EGT gauge in the mail a couple days ago, and bought an AEM UEGO on Ebay which I haven't got yet. I have only been using a Dawes, which doesn't really do anything, and a Nordskog f.p. gauge.

Iv'e been using the GLHS Stage 2 cal, but now have a socketed 3 bar Shelgame Turbonator G head cal to try out, wanna try race June 7 on Import Invasion at Mission B.C. if the car is running good.
Best run 2 years ago was 13.6 @104.5 in the 1/4 before I had alky, and not much traction. I didn't try last year at all.

Now this isn't my car but it within 10 miles from me. But how many of you know that they made convertible L bodies?

[supercharged024]

Somebody did that on their own, they didn't make any. A guy in the cities here had that done to a Grand National. To be honest the L body doesn't have the right roofline to make a convertible look good. Interesting, but it just doesn't look right.

[rare_ram]

It's not a homemade ragtop. There was a company that made them.

[nickskates4lyfe]

Hey moparfwdsleeper, you wanna shoot that idea my way? im up for ideas on what to do to that thing for a few ponies.
