Thread: overhaul

I got the blower and intake out... I live in cali... now that I got those things out what can I do to keep the engine cool, gain hp, better milage, more power... etc while I got everything out. I plan to get the new coupler and clean everything in there but what else can I do?..

Car is completely stock other than the cai

port the case

the blower case? how ?

the blower case, take the Hbar out, open the V, and smooth the inlet

A 180* Tstat would help keep a little cooler.

meh keep the 195

What is your reasoning for that advice Redline?

because its useless unless youre going for an all out build and just accelerates engine wear as well as decreasing gas mileage since the motor isnt running at optimum temperature. good 'nuff?

good link, matt.

we need more of that,

i run a 180tstat in my gto because with the 455 it like to overheat due to ***** old cooling technology built into those motors, in my gtp i run the 195 and it never goes above that even on 90+ degree days.

So far I removed the old gasket from the blower ( what a pain ) and cleaned really good. Painted it black.

So, next I will port the blower ( V )

I'm planing to do a small pulley but I don't know what I can get away without exhaust. This is a low budget overhaul so I wont be planning on running low 12's

Maybe Some headers but I will need to keep the rest of exhaust. I got rid of the mufflers.

I notice when I removed the injectors the little plastic ring around them broke off, not the plastic 0-Ring, but a smaller plastic ring. Are those replaceable or do I need new injectors?

Some vacuum lines broke off to along with the T connectors. I got noise on the steering and some foam on the power steering reservoir.

Clunk on the right side tire, cv arm? join?


Much help is needed, I thank any.
