Re: 89 lx 427 80mm build

upload them in a smaller format....to photobuket or something first

 

Re: 89 lx 427 80mm build

Go here. Then download image resizer. Very easy to use. I keep pictures 600x800 or larger and they still work on this site.

Re: 89 lx 427 80mm build

also talked to reed at work turbochargers seem turbo that i had bought used as some end play not sure if ok or not so going to buy twin 60's from him

 

Re: 89 lx 427 80mm build

I was fixing to say you might want to step that turbo up. Glad that you are.

 

Re: 89 lx 427 80mm build

does anyone now if afr 205 and 225 can use same header and are vic jr's to small for 427

 

Re: 89 lx 427 80mm build

suscribing

 

Re: 89 lx 427 80mm build

An afr 205 or 225 will use the same header. I highly recommend using the 3" pattern for ease of installing the bolts.

Re: 89 lx 427 80mm build

The 3" pattern is definitely the way to go. I can get a socket on most of my bolts.

 

Re: 89 lx 427 80mm build

ok so you think i should ditch the vic jr's and get afr's and whats the part # for the three bolt 225 and 205? and also still can't make up my mind... twin or single has anyone had exp with both and which did you like better? thanks for any input i appereciate all the advice so far still learning

 

Re: 89 lx 427 80mm build

All afr 205 and 225 share the same bolt pattern. All depends on what part # you will need for the cc head to get your desired compression ratio for what cc piston you have.

As for the Vic jr's, there is nothing wrong with those heads, they have been used in just about any application, and have huge room for improvement. If they are ootb you may want to give fox lake a call and see what they say about your combo, I know they have a few options for the Vic's.

As for the twins or single, what do YOU want? I have personally used both, the twins were cool for the wow factor, but there was 2 of everything, and a pita to work on. I switched to single and haven't looked back, but again, it's your preference.

Anthony

 

Re: 89 lx 427 80mm build

ok thanks only asked about the afr's because whan i bought block and other stuff he had set of headers that i bought too but they were built for afr's 225 he said.. And they need to be refab to work with vic's Talked to Reed from turbo worka while back, gave me couple options twin 60's or think he said a single 80mm t6 with 96 mm turbine wheel.. gonna do the single for ease of pipe

Re: 89 lx 427 80mm build

very nice setup but why the manual transmission, or you just want a street car out of it

 

Re: 89 lx 427 80mm build

thanks.. yes it is a street car a/c.. taking power steering out and getting manual rack. as for tran think i may sell it before i break it and buy a lentech aod or glide not sure yet. or i may use tremec and take it easy till i get one or the other

 

Re: 89 lx 427 80mm build

not a big update still saving for heads and machine work for block and rotating assm almost there.
also talked to local racecar shop ( marty danko) to give me price to for cage and doing the 8.8 rear.
Put tubular rad support in today original support was bent and all messed up plus i figure it would give me more room for cold side pipeing

Re: 89 lx 427 80mm build

i would for sure swap to auto trans, I know people like the manuals and the banging of the gears but if you really want the full potential out of your car and the turbo itself id go automatic. That being said if you just never intend on putting it on the track then 5spd may be they way for you. my car has a glide and it had 327s in it till last night but at 55 and 60 mph it only tacks 18 to 2000 rpm so you can go with either trans you are thinking of with know worries of drive ability being a issue

 

Re: 89 lx 427 80mm build

yeah turns out buddy has a turbo 400 3rd gear issue said i could have it for 150.00 so i'm gonna buy it and have 3.27's put in the rear.
