the calloway twin turbo set up on the corvettes..

im in love..

any body had the luck of having a spin in one of these??

apartenly

any corvette 1991 downwards as long as its not the LT1 motor can be turbo charged with out an issues

....

and with a 12.9 sec run @ 111mph

that would be some serious fun

american's luv their vettes thats for sure..and so many power upgrades. Imagine how quick it would spool up to with the big block..

I used to like them, but seeing some of the older ones on the road these days and even sat in one at a dealer.. not really that impressed. They look pretty old and dated.

A new one of course would be a total different story.

The Z06 will continue to be outfitted with the unique six-speed manual transmission for 2002. It will enable skilled drivers to achieve 0-60 mph times of 3.9 seconds and to cover a quarter mile in 12.4 seconds at 116 mph.

nasty...almost makes a GTR look slow!

thats fair enough i guess u can make any car go fast with 10 grand worth of mod's

but the fact is

most of the 7sec cars even the top fuelers

they r all big block 8s if not big block they r 350s.. u never see much 5 sec 2.6L

at the end of the day

no matter how much boost u run..

its cubic inchs that will get u the power if ur after a FULLY SICKKKK ANIMAL ahhaha

those engines r only good for full throttle and in a straight line.

has no relevance to a street car

zdenko,

is the 91 vette a C4? my old man has an 86 C4 which i think is the same shape and engine and everything as the 91. Goes VERY hard and looks the goods i don't care what anyone says!

Check out the ZR-1 corvette which was a 91-only model that is suped up from the factory and is a bloody beast over the normal vettes (which are beasts anyway!).

Ive sat in a C5 vette and of course my dad's and i prefer the C4 shape and the interior.

thought this seemed relevant...

Waz.

yeh

i love the c4

only problem being it doesnt have the power over da c5 which have the LT1 motors in em

bad point of those motors

compresion to high

to much hassel turboing em

so the c4 looks like the way to go..

i love them

allways been a dream car of mine

i loveee emmm

hahah

is ur dads manual or auto?

what do they do on the 1/4 mile?? any ideaS?

dad's is auto and stock 0-100 is 5.6sec

but he got a chip for $350 when he went to america last year! don;t know quarter but i would expect high 13s or low 14s

do u know of the ZR-1 vette? check this out before you buy anything coz its probably as quick at the TT one...

    • I don't think the shuffle can damage the turbos. It only happens at low shaft speeds and loads. It's just annoying (to some people - others are tickled by the effect) and it quite possibly reduces spool performance a little bit.
    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly.
