ordered a blower for the GTO
 

Ordered an ATI procharger D1SC a few minutes ago. Should be good for another 150 RWHP on a stock motor, 500+ rwhp with some minor upgrades :noes:

yeah, that 1 cent a day really adds up

no... still have it.

oh son of a bitch, people are saying the install takes 20-40 hours.

dunno, have to pull the radiator and install a power steering cooler and drill a hole in the crank and a few other oddities.
I went with an SC because of the dynos I've seen, and the price difference and easier install vs a twin turbo kit. The TT needs to relocate the battery to the already cramped trunk and muck about with the headers. I'll do that when I add long tubes and a cat back for much power increase.

I honestly don't think you can go wrong on the LS1, but the prochargers have a great rep so we'll see. Can't shake a stick at 50% HP gain with a bolt on, intercooled kit.

Perhaps more since I'm so freaking high in altitude.
I'll cam it for a little more power and some lope, do the headers and exhaust and probably be done.

actually it's not costing me any more to drive than my chipped/injected A4 1.8T
I'm averaging about 21mpg cobined in the monaro and about 22 in the audi, go figure.

supercharger should be here any day :x:

Ive also got 42lb injectors coming
a new lingenfelter fuel pump
and a fluidampr underdrive crank pulley

:x:

can't wait to pray on the ignorant ricers that think it's an overgrown cavalier... with a bad power steering pump making all that noise.

:bowdown: :bigtu:

stil no sign of the supercharger, but I installed a lingenfelter fuel pump yesterday, it's just a walbro pump and some adapters basically, but it's supposed to be a decent pump. The GTO uses the return line to fill the fuel pump canister so a good pump is mega important I guess.

Shitty install since the tank is mounted between the rear seat and the trunk, basically IN the trunk behind a crash bar and some fabric. Have to remove the whole tank.

Should have just installed a pierburg :eek5:

Hey Philip why did you not go with the STS rear mounted turbo kits?

Because it sucks :confused:
My other option would have been an australian TT kit, but I would have had to relocate the battery to the already cramped trunk and didn't want to.
The ATI D1SC will put out more HP than I will ever run on a stock bottom end.

it's here :noes:

Car is @ pontiac for a few little warranty things since the warranty will be done soon as the blower goes on :rofl:
Should be able to tune it saturday, will post a dyno then if I get the thing installed quick enough.

FUUUUUUUUUUCK

asshole sent me a crank pully/balancer that won't mate with the SC pully that bolts to it. Now I'm pissed. You spend $5k with some asshole and he can't even get it the fuck right.

same kit I'm doing, well mostly. I've got the D1SC which is a better blower than the P1SC.

Maybe upgrade to a smaller pulley ;)

Wrong end. You change the blower pulley, not the crank.

feel free to come down and do my install for me :)
I'll post a dyno chart once it's tuned. I'd expect somewhere around 450 to the wheels but we'll see. With long tube headers and a cam 500 shouldn't be a problem.

Fly you from ft collins to castle rock?

I guess I could if I rented a 172.

dunno. probably 50hp less than I'll be running :hs:

man, the greddy + emanage + jimb pipes are CAKE compared to this install, but it's done. My tuner is coming over tomorrow or saturday to do a little road tuning then we'll dyno tune her. Assuming it all works :noes:

you forgot the O.
I'll post pics later. The engine bay is very messy ATM.

pics, and a vid of what she sounds like

P.S. it's fast, REALLY fast.

about 38 miles to the north. I'm smack in the middle between the springs and denver. Let me know, aside from a wonky work schedule I'll be around.

My buddy has a magnuson charged goat (roots type blower) and thinks this one is faster.

dreamer :)

the monaro front end is much nicer. I might convert mine over to the monaro lights and bumper.

Sounds like a cue to start saving for that cobra rear. :eek5:
Talk about a tight fit- but very clean install. The average joe would never know it was there... "uh yeah... that's my a/c compressor" ;)

it's fucking scary when you hit 5k RPM and it just keeps pulling harder and harder.

yep, but I can go smaller still.

on the way home some little ricer in a civic Si took the bait. We absolutely crushed him... after I got done spinning the tires for 2 seconds :rofl:

it's actually not too bad, big tires, heavy car.
With drag slicks I should think it could run a solid 12's time though.

I've only got 25k in the car, not bad for that much power man.

:rofl:

I would guess 11s, i have a friends with a 450hp camaro and is in the 11.5s i bet you could be around there. Unless all that goat is bloat.

3600 or 3800 pounds dude.

Do they really only give eyou A cent? WOW $3.65 a year. What a deal.
