  8. Aksss turbo 370 rebuild

    in Builds

    Posted

    There isn't much to update. I have the motor out to check it out and make sure it did ok after leaning on it.

     

    Everything looked pretty good except for my trunnion bearings. So I am upgrading my rockers and reassembling the motor.

     

    Still haven't gotten the front coilovers on either. I have been working on little bugs or cleaning things up here and there. I am currently changing all my vacuum lines over to synflex line instead of the fugly rubber lines that go everywhere.

     

    Other than that. The truck is the same. Just a weak ass high 10 sec truck. Lol!

    Very nice! I can get a low 1.6 60' if I leave on low boost(4-6psi), but i suffer my 1/4 times. If I leave on a little more boost (8-10psi) it spins hard and leaves with a 1.8 60' but gets high 10's. I need to figure out some better tractions. Tires and front coil over setup!

    keep me posted on the parts you use with the coil over swap i may look into that as well . ive been tossing around the idea of buying some stock 16" rims and putting some MT ET'S on them just wondering if they will be worth it at the size you can only fit on stocker rims.

     

    I missed this. I don't get on here near enough any more.

     

    I guess I will find out next spring. Just dropping my 22's off will drop a considerable amount of rotating mass. Between getting drag radials on all 4 tires and dropping the big wheels I am expecting is good for close to 3/10's if not more.

     

    I will let you know on the front end kit. I am not even going to touch the truck until after the first of the year. I have to pull the motor back out. It is making some metal in the oil. I am guessing mains. I talked to the machine shop about it and they had no idea. After I looked through the machine shop bill I didn't see anything about line honing the mains after installing the arp studs. Nope, they didn't do it. I asked them. So I am expecting to see some worn mains. I am hoping it didn't get my crank.

    I would really expect to see your truck in the low 10's if not high 9 if you can get it to hook off the line. That has been my biggest battle.

     

    I have decided screw it. Going to go with some 17" race stars and some M&H dr's. I am taking off my Baer brakes to do it since they won't clear anything smaller than 18", but the traction is worth it.

     

    Also I am throwing the front coilovers on over the winter. That will help also.

    I believe your the fastest ls powered truck up here then.

    There is quite a few quick trucks up here. There is another one in Fairbanks that hasn't had a chance to run at the track. He has the same basic build but in a standard cab short bed. He is almost 1k lighter than me. He should be able to out run me. Depending on how much he turns his up.

     

    It sure is fun to drive though! I do love it!

    Damn dude, next summer at the raceway I need to come check your truck out!

    I should be down next spring. With some traction and some consistency. Not sure how much faster it will go. But with traction and some more timing and boost it will go a little faster. Timing was only at 14* and boost was only at ~16-17psi. So there is room to grow with both running good gas.

     

    Would be bad a** to see a mid 10.

  17. 101mm turbo

    You wouldn't even be able to spool that turbo driving around with that thing. Trust me. I have been running turbos in Alaska for 10 years. You will have to have serious supporting mods to get into the 10's reliably.

     

    I ran a mildly built 370ci (6.0 bored over .030) for years with a 76mm small frame turbo and drove it for 5 years daily in fairbanks. There is a few small things that you have to setup for with the extreme cold, but generally it did very good. Never lost a turbo. I did have a few pistons burn up from the wastegate freezing shut until I figured out how to fix that issue from moisture in the exhaust. That setup would run a consistant 12.2@112 all day long on only 12psi.

     

    The other issue you have up here is our SH*T fuel. Our 90 octane is about as good as 87 down in the states. I have heard it all from everyone how our fuel is. I can tell the difference in our fuel just by watching my knock sensors with different fuel.
