apartenly

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

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...

    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
