Just curious how much you guys think my gmpp clutch will hold? Just curious I have heard mixed things jw what results y'all have had

 

jelly.

nice bates lifters too

 

Ya cylinder 2 and 3 runners are gonna be a bit of a pain it looks like. I'm gonna get it setup on the spare motor I got and see what issues ill have. I might file a bit away from the runners to get the bolts to fit better

The lifters came with the cams I bought. Gonna have a couple heads setup differently

 

last time i dyno'd on a gmpp it was on the old turbo setup and hurt engine back in '10. did like 320 something. went 12.6@114. it holds quite a bit. i think josh is still on one. or was for quite a while after his swap.

 

i could put it on for ya. i'll have nothin but time... unless you've been looking forward to it. don't wanna steal your project lol

 

It's only a test fit. The motor needs to be disassembled and sent out to be decked, sleeves installed and bored and all that stuff

 

Does josh have a build thread on here anywhere?

 

how much is that gonna run you? don't mean to be a fanboy but zzp's girdle is like 1,300 shipped after core charge is refunded. 1000bhp capable, ready to run whatever you want.

 

I'm still holding on my stock clutch at about 350whp been a few months and still going strong. I have faith in my gmpp clutch sitting in my basement when time comes to install it. Others with more power have good things to say about the gmpp clutch.

 

I'm sure he'll chime in, but I'd figured I'd ask in here also. What are your thoughts on the turbonetics turbo terry1 is trying to unload? Remember I have a 60trim ebay turbo with .70A/R housing so it is nothing special. I don't get full boost till close to 4.2k and I wouldn't mind seeing it a bit sooner.

 

Yeah I figure Id I just stay with the 60s i will be sitting near 400 but if I grab some 80s Might try for more lol so hopefully she will hold

 

S256et on 25.5psi with e85. Gmpp clutch holding like a champ

 

getting anything up here from the states is 10x more expensive. plus I'd rather have the work done by a performance shop up here where I know the guys and can drop in anytime I want to check on it

 

What was your numbers on pump gas? And I'm curious about your 60-100

 

make sure you check the valve train geometry with the solid lifters and new cams and you need to measure the base circle of the cams also if it is smaller then stock then you will need to run a longer stemed valve to correct the geometry if you dont it will shove the valve crooked in the guide and wear it out realy fast

 

I'll be having my performance builder look at those since they need to be machined. I got most of my bases cover so far

 

True true. Good think ive already got everything i need lol

 

Street tuned. Never dyno'd. No accurate 60-100 cause it spins all the way through

 

Well damn got any more videos then whats on youtube I have already watched them all

 

So finally got around to doing this (with help from Brian aka Facepalm_IRL):



Which led to me pulling the head off and finding this (180k miles on a stock LSJ motor BTW):



Closer:



See something missing?:



It was just floating around in there, it is nice and shiny:




Pic of turbo since most dont understand that part of my setup lol:



The sleeves are still in great shape, will need a basic honing and can start headed back together.

 

So BlkWdo wanna help me with my swap while your not busy lol jkjk

 

ah it was you who had the manifold that faced the turbo forward. i couldn't remember who it was

 

Yeah how the f**k does that work?

 

I would think that it's pretty tight sitting like that

 

Yeah anyone got a HP tuner cable I could borrow : ) Matt W doesn't tune anymore and everyone around me is about 4 to 7hrs out : ( I need to get tuned once I install my kit dangit
