  1. Stripping down to short block.... More parts tro come, however if you have a request then please let me know. All prices include shipping! I will make best efforts to get back to you guys ASAP but it is getting hectic..Thanks 1.) Fain set in nice condition ( will only sell by set ) $105 2.) 12a Turbo... has some radial play but as you can see NO Smoke and has performed well. $120 3.) Buy 1 get 2 free $50 ( analog test on 1 good and other pretty good and the 3rd ( not shown) was cut open. 4.) Exhaust manifold stress relieved, decked and covered with heat shield. Had what we thought was a small hairline crack, however we could not see any exhaust burn on that area. $100...http://library-stati...824378/SNAPFISH
  2. Thank you for that concise information. Your valildation of the direction I have taken definately eases my mind. From looking at the cars you have listed above I take it that your suggestions are coming from personal experience so I will definately take them. I will stop at 15ish! AND I will be happy...Thanks
  3. Just an update here... boost controller working very well... understanding that my stock boost gauge may not be very accurate I am close to 14 psi... So far no prblems with A/F ratio ( in the mid 10-11 ) and no ignition issues.. engine is tight and trans shifting is quick and firm... I am actually pretty surprised with the performance of the stock reg and ignition so far. Forgot to mention that I already did the 1G mas , K/N and gutted cat.... Will stop here and have the transmission flushed and checked out as it is needed anyway ( Auto ). I know with this extra boost it will put a strain on the clutch plates for sure and if the tranny is marginal it will probably fail fairly quickly... Thank again and I believe I will see the changes StarquestRescue and ucw458 have predicted after 15psi and if so I need to check out Scotts TBI MS setup...
  4. Good question... Of all the pics of have taken of the build I failed to take any of the new tubo..... wide band, yes... New boost gauge, not yet....boost controller coming.. I will increase the boost until I ( under load ) the A/F ratio fails to drop below 12.5 or so. At that point I will install the rising rate fuel pressure reg with gauge and gradually increase pressure, make some runs and observe the affect on the A/F. Fixed pulse duration more pressure maybe a little more fuel will get in... we will see how much can be squeezed out of it . If it still will not go below 13 at the final boost setting I will call it a day and enjoy what I have for awhile. I may then also install the 6a MSD and check for any improvement too... My thanks to all for your continued interest!
  5. TD06-20G installed... spools up faster and pulls hard. It seems that the longer I run it the better it gets! Now the boost gauge may be wrong, however it is still around 10. Have not installed the new rising rate fuel reg. I will get a new boost gauge for a more accurate reading and start increasing the boost until I reach the limits of the injectors. At that poiint I will install the new fuel reg + pressure gauge. Then incremental pressure increases from there. I agree for sure that I will hit the wall with the stock set-up, however it will be fun to test out anyway. The MSD-6a will be last. I will take my time to make sure each change is only made when everything runs well and stable..
  6. Agreed... I am also going to ask Hong to re-invoice me to include the exact change to the hotside. That way I will be on the record...
  7. Talked to Hong yesterday. He said that he understoodd whatws being said, however he did put in a 06 hotside.... good.... He said the 20G would be more effecient, that the rising rate fuel pressure regulator I just purchased was a smart move and that I should "try it and you will like it"..... OK, will do just that.. At least I am now aware of the 6 upgrade! Will check as you guys have suggested....
  8. Could not get in contact with Hong today. Should be receiving the 20G tomorrow afternoon. All of your posts makes plenty of sense for sure including the stock timing issues ( thanks) and I will try to make the best of it and let you know the results.....
  9. You guys are great... Mikes Turbo came highly recommended and I know you guys know of his business. So, I just cannot understand why Hong would steer me this way especially after I explained what I had. He could have sold me on any of the best options and the price would probably have been the same. I will Hong tomorrow and discuss his 20G theory again for the record. I will then post his answer with going with the 20G for your comment(s)...
  10. Thanks for the prompt response... As far as the timing issue... Yes the distributor for sure, however it looked as if the ECU was drawn in with in with the detonation sensor ( page 8-139) with the diagram linking in the ECU/ESC ignitor to further retard the timing. It is still unclear as to exactly how many degree's of timing retard it is capable of vs. the MSD6-btm with posted specs of 15 degree max. I have an MSD 6a and would like to connect it up using the ESC unless it is unnecessary or would create problems OR trade the 6a in for the BTM series. Did install a higher volume/pressure BOSH fuel pump. The turbo......This was the suggestion at Mike's Turbo. Hong advised me of this option stating that it would perform better and especially would not fade out in the upper RPM areas as a stock 12a does. He also recommended keeping at 10psi (that kind of surprised me). He did say (personally) that he altered the hot side wheel (H) although I do not see any documentation on the invoice. I do have a boost controller for sure to alter the psi.
  11. There has been a lot of discussion on using MSD 6 or 6al with mostly good results. Now the msd6-btm has an added vacumn port that when connected compensates for boost by retarding the spark by up to 15 degrees, however I understand that our own ECU does that to some extent already. The question is this: If you are upgrading to a 20G (using the stock TD05) will the increased CFM at 10psi still be compensated by our ECU? I have aslightly modded engine with upgraded head, vlaves, ARP, solid cam. ALSO, would you keep/remove the igniter box and then add the 8910 or 8920? I just want the most practical and problem free setup while delivering some performance. Thanks
  12. interested... where are you located or just PM me with you tel #....
  13. Put me in line... pic is needed.. thanks
  14. Thanks Jeff! Rear wiper motor for free jsut pay the shipping is a no brainer right! Your the "go to" person for me on parts...
