Turbo six cylinder in a Satellite

-
And there is your goal!!!!!!!!
With the eng set back it should plant good! If not, you may need one of those 300 pound rear bumpers.:poke::D
 
had "FUN" tonight
Didn't break anything....
forgot to retard the timing, and turn up the power screw.> didn't bring any tools...

ran good considering stock injectors




times from tonight,

interesting comparing times from last week before the turbo and valve spring change.

Video says it private again.
3 tenths in the 60' foot! that had to feel a lot better.
And improve all the way down........same basic mph, still on the gov at the end?
I guess i will be able to tell when i can see the video.
Great job and still more in it!!!
I see them 60 foot time have been messing with your reaction times :poke::D

When approaching the finish line, is when it really started pulling...lol

Wow you need a lot more fuel, not even hase after you leave the line. How much boost can you get at the line? Maybe, need to improve your brakes to get a little bit more boost off the line.

You have a much better squirrel cage, now you just need to feed them squirrels some more.:thumbsup:
 
You might need to install some front sement, spring clamps to help on the pinion roll up. Some lift is good, but you don't need to make a "S" out of the from segment of the leaf spring.
Maybe it's not as bad as it looks................clamping it would sure help tho.

I'm just saying this because if you can get the brakes to hold at wide open throttle.......that pinion might stand straight up!
 
Yep, got to turn the fuel UP
have been trying to find the spec for the converter > no luck.
purchase a tach is next, so there is no guessing
 
My truck pulled harder with a tighter converter because, it put the load on the turbo, as soon as i let the brakes off. If you had a bunch of tuning done and were making a ton of torque, a looser converter may be on the shopping list. I'd bet that a combination of timing and boost control will get you to the point of needing chassis work.

Looks like fun and I'm jealous.

yep, time for some tuning
I realized my error on advancing the pump, >diesel is a slower burning fuel.
also need more fuel to burn, everyone at the track was saying it barely hazes.
 
You need some of these spring clamps

and a lot more fuel!
 
got the pump swapped, got the wrong injectors,( not enough flow)
but, it will be a good comparison to the others
when I swap them.
Also got the rear strapped down,

What time you gonna be running at beech bend? I'll be there after lunch and would love to see the car run
 
No race this week end? was hoping for a update with your new mods.........
 
finally got the Satellite, back to the track,
last time was 8.82 @76 mph
different injectors now
8.32 @ 81 mph

got to re learn cutting a light in this ride,
work on the suspension some more / tire pressure
