1600 turbo build thread

[buguy]

Yeah I have a few little things to do. But those don't make it go fast!
I tried another squirter and its better, but the lean stumble is still there. I need to order a couple more of them. The one I tried I can see its been drilled out too so I really don't know what size it is. I notice it most when I go into second gear. I might try a different accelerator pump cam too. I have the most aggressive off idle cam in there now. I may need one less aggressive that is more drawn out.

[buguy]

Ok just to recap.
I have a stock 1600 with a Subaru TD04-13t turbo and right now running a Holley 350cfm 2 barrel draw through on a 4 barrel intake with a 2 barrel adaptor. I have 52 main jets, 10.5 power valve that is boost referenced, and just changed it to a 32 accelerator squirter and a brown cam on position #1. Boost is around 7 psi.
I thought it was my easy driving but I stretched it out tonight and 7psi is about all I saw. So I assume that's where the spring is. I see the 7psi fairly early. I can't watch all the gauges enough to tell when stuff is happening. Never heard any pinging to date.
PLX wide band and boost module.
Stock trans from 1965
205/65/15 tires on the back and 135's up front.

I bet that thing has to be shifted pretty quick? with the 4:37 R&P in the trans? someday you may want to upgrade to a 4:12 or ever a 3:88 trans way less "shifting"

[buguy]

For sure. First gear is nearly useless. I'd love some 3:88's. I can let my clutch out in first without giving it any gas at all and it won't stall. It would be a great car to learn to drive stick in!

[andy198712]

it it lowered in the back? (looking at your sig) how do you get those tyres without rubbing?

[buguy]

Yeah it's lowered one outer spline. They fit easy. In fact I think a 215 would fit. I am raising it up soon though. Just enough to get the tires square. Probably +5-5

[Chip Birks]

I have 215s, there is still room. Just need the right offset rims to use it all.

[buguy]

Is yours lowered too?

[Chip Birks]

Yes, some combo of +/- to get it where i like it.

[buguy]

Think you could get one size bigger on there?

[Chip Birks]

Maybe, with the right rim offset. I have 1/4" spacers in there right now. My rims have a ton of backspace.

[buguy]

I'd like to run a slick just for looks but we get sudden downpours here.... So maybe a DOT slick or something like that. It would have to fit on my 5.5" rim though so I couldn't go crazy.

[buguy]

Oooooh. Getting close now. I went down on the squirter size and I think that helped with the duration of the pump shot. I need to go down a size on the main too I think.

[Clonebug]

How about some video????

[buguy]

Yeah I need to see if I can borrow my brother in laws go pro. Although its probably pretty boring at less than 7psi. I did feel my first clutch slippage tonight though. Yay! Mo money!!
