Nice, I'm very optimistic of the potential of the JB/Precision converter. A local buddy of mine bought one, but it will be a little while until he finishes his build, I'm contemplating pulling the trigger on one later this year. The Bradco unit I currently have is a little tight and can be...
Amazing build man, great work and thanks for sharing! Are you still running the Sinister speed 8" converter? I thought I saw you trying to sell it a little while back?
Edit: Mods at the time of first video:
Stock 6 bolt bottom end and head, manley single springs, BC280 cams, FRH manifold. BWS366 turbo, auto trans built by me w/welded center diff, e85, 1650 injectors, two walbro 255 pumps around 27-28psi of boost, oh and Werewold speed density tuning software...
There are still quite a few of us around.. I think the local section of the board is really dead due to all the people using social media now-a-days. I still use tuners on the daily, but mostly just reading and lurking. Do a seach for "NLAND DSM" on FB, it's mostly the Inland Empire, but we...
It should definitely not be split like that but it happens, I had the same thing in my own transmission. Here is a picture of how a good one looks, it's the only pic I had on my phone at the moment, but I can take some closer shots when I get home if you'd like.
Spal fans, don't waste your time with the cheap ebay junk. I drove my car many times this past summer when it was 100° outside and did not overheat, coolant temps would fluctuate around 195°-205° in stop & go city driving. I use the stock thermo-switch to activate the fans as well as a manual...
This is an update to my original post, thanks to imageshack for not hosing pictures free anymore :/1. Remove the 6 bolts holding the center diff cover. Be very patient getting the cover/bearing race off of the trans, it fits very precisely into the case. You will need to slowly work each...
I've been wondering the same thing. I'm currently running an in tank 450 and feeding an inline 044. I appear to be running out of fuel at around 36 psi of boost indicated by 90% IDC. I'm tempted to buy another 450 to replace the 044 to see if I can make both 450's fit in tank and run in...
If you're putting it in your 2G, you should definitely use Precision Industries for your converter.http://converter.com/http://kiggly-racing.com/6-bolt_kit
There is quite a bit of information out there actually, a lot of it is on the ecmlink forums.C-dub's "grudge car" (the white 1G) had a thread here a few years ago that was pretty informative. At that time, it was running a bradco converter with an IPT built 1G trans and a custom 8.8 rear...
**EDIT**Thought I would ad a couple things based off some feedback I've received from a fellow member.Along with the parts I already listed above, you're going to need a new Pump Gasket and possibly a new pump O-ring.I didn't have to replace the o-ring on mine, but YMMV. The pump gasket...
