Thread: TVS swap?

My TVS fit under the stock rails... just had to modify the rear passenger side leg on the fuel rail to fit around the plate.

This dyno sheet is GenV vs TVS with nothing else changed. The car wasn't even retuned.
If someone made more on a GenV with their setup, they'd make even more with a TVS on their setup.
The blower is just WAY better. 50+whp without changing anything else...

there's a gas station near my house that sells e85, (or they did last time i was there).
so i could definitely run it, what sort of mods/tuning is involved,
Chain stretcher, how much money do you have in your engine mods? if its more than 3000 i might as well go turbo

Is it a cutom build for the plate, or is it something i can buy somewhere?

rough estimate here
300 gen5
200 60# injectors
50 2.8 pulley
2-300 headers (could be less but id try find a set of tog or slp headers)
150 s1x cam
125 105# springs
80? new single roller timing chain?
150 misc gaskets

I have hptuners and could copy my tune easily. mine is setup one pcm for e85 and throw a shorter belt on and 2.8 pulley, second pcm in the trunk with 3.4 pulley and longer belt. takes a fist full of tools and 15 min to throw a different lullet and belt on and 2 bolts to swap pcm. drive it anywhere ive swapped fuel in the gas station parking lot. no laptop or tuner needed if ypu have 2 pcms.....

where are you finding your stuff, the prices ive seen are 300 for a cam 4-6 for headers, 600 for a gen 5, the rest seem inline.
Id just like to know that could save me quite alot.
my "stage one" mods are gonna be headers/powerlog, CAI/cone (i need to do more heat soak research) downpipe, and a 3.4

classifieds here I know where that s1x cam is forsale....... cough.cough. PM gmrbadass lol !!
sd headers are around 200 maybe more but id spend a little more for togs or slp's if you can find them.

I wouldnt bother with plog and downpipe just find a set of headers.

better question is what doesnt he have?..... gotta take that up with him.

Used is how I did my build. My engine is basically thrown away cast offs from all the crap I've worked on over the years.
The only thing I bought new was my Gen 5, I scored it on Ebay for $400 shipped back in 07ish.

And no matter what you do with an m90, a TVS will always make significantly more power in it's place.

whats the gain in hp of bolting on the gen5? ... I do love that fine whine

On an average setup without a cam probably 5hp.

COST! vs tvs........ the end

lol whether snowflake wants to admit it or not im sure there is a reason he went turbo.........

I think the E85 thing is awesome! ill definitely have to do it, just getting an e85 tune headers, CAI, and injectors i should be able to drop my pulley alot,
id guess 3.2? and probably a good bit of horse power! the speed dady headers are just the ebay headers correct?

Yes, there is... as I've said a million times it was to make huge power and try and break the FWD Regal 1/4 mile record.
It certainly wasn't cheaper.
