    Hello,

    Been quite some time since I've owned my 2 Prix's. Maybe will have any other one day but turbo power and removing trannys at least once a year turned me away lol. Have some parts I'm sure someone could use! Will be throwing them up for sale soon.

    Pics of the cars? Why were you removing your trans once a year? Why not build it so it would last longer than a year? GMR chain and what not? Whats for sale?

    I can digup some pictures soon

    I have a TRE-340 Fuel pump, few left over Turbonetics evo wastegate springs, stock cams,valve covers, ABS Pump, the list goes on !

    My turbo prix was making anywhere between 450-500whp, i estimated roughly 480 but never had her dyno ran. That was off 9psi on a precision 67mm 11.6 @ 124 1/4 with radials and "wheelie" (more of a traction) bar and still terrible 60ft time because of tire spin. Trans was built :
    300M , at first 2.93 (3250 Stall) gears then on rebuild went to 3.29 (stock converter) 7/8th's chain, Borg HF clutches, Hardened pump shaft, and anything else i may be forgetting off the top of my head that is typical for turbo cars tranny builds lol. Been over a year maybe almost 2 since i had the car. Keep going through 3rd clutches and i came to the conclusion that its not going to hold together. As most know sadly they just dont make the gofast parts we need anymore for these gtp's to hold together. I never went with the GMR 1" because it wouldnt stay together long enough to break a chain lol. IF i ever do 3800 performance (over 350whp) again it would be buying a GP and doing the RWD conversion. To me thats the only way its worth it because the 3800's are amazingly strong and plenty of aftermarket support.

    Did i say it WAS 500whp? No. Stop being a troll. Boost PSI is not directly related to whp.....Turbo power is also very different than Supercharged. The heads on this car flowed VERY well. But im not here to sit and argue about a car i sold 11.6@124 still a very quick gp my friend. Whats is crazy, is it was all up from there but good luck getting your trans to hold for long lol . I sure miss the 3rd gear pull this car had.

    Aaron, the borg clutches werent as good as your fancy zpak clutches, its possible his were burning up. Especially if he wasn't running a tep valve body.
