I saw mention of the axle stock pile you are building up as if it's any thing like Kuntzie's you will be going through them like crazy.

Props on going through with the install though!  Will be more than a handful to drive around.

Wait, what turbo? I need a turbo that can feed a 3500.

Jud has the GT3071 turbo with a built 3400 I believe it was.  Unfortunately he passed away.  Does anyone know if the car is still around after it was passed along in the family?

I used an Engle turbo hyd 2 cam better for the log manifolds and a gt3071r turbo. pistons are special from JE

the only problem Im noticing is that the turbo flange needs to be modified meaning that one of the bolt holes dont line up so I filed it and about 1/8 of the flange in one corner doesnt fit the gasket properly so it leaks but I fixed that by building up weld in the area and belt sanding it flat.

I got to add more vids as these are not up to date alot has changed since then even though its only been a couple of weeks since the vids were taken.

This is curious as it should have fit fine.  Our 76 with just fine.  We didn't have to modify any flanges to make it fit.  You are certain it was a T-25 flange right?  The downpipe fits fine I assume, the pictures on your facebook appear that it should have been okay?

Our TGP won't be running again and so we have everything front related ('89 glass headlights and front spoiler) as well

Jud(sleeperred90tgp) - 13.558@102.56mph . I keep thinking Jud might have been running a smaller turbo at the time of that run though. His car could have been way stronger w/ the GT3076R had it been tuned properly.

http://home.windstream.net/mfewtrail/ = TGP 1/4 mile times

It's unfortunate my 3.1 cam went flat, would have been interesting to see how well it would have run.  Now the poor turbo just sits until we find it a new home.  Such a pain to put in the TGP but ran great.

I have a Jeff M crossover if that is of any interest to you?

Hasn't run for about a year and a half now.  Good motor had the cam go flat, put a stock one in, it had a nut in one of the cylinders so its just sat.

Lookin more and more like the big turbo and any goodies will be coming out and the car sold, pretty sad the big turbo is worth about as much as the car  :icon_neutral:

I really don't know if it's runnin rich how can I tell without an A/F gauge?
But with the topgun in there I would get more like 27ish on the highway at the same speed, 72 is typically my cruising speed.


Also my idle is all sorts of crappy while in gear, if I pop it in neutral at stop lights it kinda evens out, but in D it drops to about 7-800 and the car shakes, and today for the first time it actually stalled on me at a light. Maybe it is related to that?... but when driving it is smooth as all hell...

Check the spark plugs, if they are black, it's probably running rich.  Also check the exhaust tips.  If they have soot it's running rich.

Most likely it's because the stock chip sucks and the injectors are just making it suck more.

I was pulling 23-25 on the highway with our TGP on the built motor and the 3076R until the cam flat.

what vehicle was this in? 24mpg doesnt thrill me if thats driving it like a grandma, hell 350's can do that... if thats with mixed-running it-thats sweet!

My 22-4 was in our TGP with a built 3.2 and a GT3076R turbo....before the cam went flat.  I tuned it with a Haltech so I have both an advantage and a disadvantage.  Always tuning which of course is going to screw up gas but good as I can take away fuel driving down the road whenever I want.  No it wasn't driving like a grandma, it was more highway than city though and I'm not one to do anywhere over 95 unless I'm trying to tune a run anywhere into 3rd gear as the top of 2nd/into 3rd is breaking just about every speeding law on the roads.

I was pulling 22-24 on the Highway with out TGP before the cam went flat.  Not bad for a built motor and a GT30 turbo I guess  :icon_eek:

Looks to be in nice condition, great buy it appears!

Oh and nice Mustang.  Sounds quite healthy, and a parachute, excellent.  Any specs on it?  So we know what you'll need to build in order to beat it!  :icon_eek:

Getting really close to pulling to plug on ours.

Built motor had 6 cam lobes go completely flat, pulled it.  Put in a spare motor that has been sitting for a year in the corner.  It knocks bad.   :icon_mad: :icon_evil:

Junkyard swap.  I'll rebuild it after Im done and take my time to get it perfect.

Was it a TGP Junkyard trans or a regular 4T60?  You may be in for pulling the motor again when it gets toasted if it's not a TGP one.

x2

I rebuilt mine with all the latest updates, "Red" clutches, Phantom Grip LSD, & a 500 rpm higher stall, cost me around 1K

We did about the same, no LSD and 1,000 rpm higher stall, of course that was for a built engine, hopefully the stall isn't going to be too high for the stock engine.  The bigger turbo will hopefully be big enough to need the higher stall.

Like was said, it vents, its the vent port on the boost controller.

It would shift into second but it wouldn't hold the gear if you gave it a whole lot of throttle. Actually, my top speed going home was 60mph going down a huge hill.

Does anybody have any idea whats wrong with the trans. It would shift into all 4 gears but it would slip if you gave it any throttle.

What do you mean by "hold the gear" if you gave it a "whole lot of throttle" in second?  That could simply be the downshift cable or whatever they are called adjusted wrong.  If you really want to test it, disconnect it from the throttle body and drive it and see what gears hold and what don't.  The slipping in 4th gear with any throttle sounds basically like it's screwed anyway though. :icon_confused:
