Such an awesome car in my top 3 favourite VLT's ..So wats will you be doing paul,, changing the exhuast wheel an housing an see if thats helps stop the surging problem or is there another way of fixing the surge problem Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Yeh just trying a few things out, currently its got a .84 housing on it, im going to try a 1.00 and see what that does. its def lost a bit since iv put the glide in cos in 2008 the car went 10.58 and lifted the head the car has more power now and still went slower but at least its stronger i guess Im not in a massive rush my new house is more important but ill just do stuff when iv got time. Pretty impressive considering that bottom end is 10 years old never been refreshed lol stock rods too! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

it shouldnt go slower with the glide though, sounds like converter and gears need tweaking to me

yeh the convertor's already been out once, might have to come out again. Its hard to judge cos i havnt raced it back to back with the old auto compaired to the glide. anyway time will tell, no rush just when ever its done ill slap it on the dyno and see wot it makes. It only did a 1.59 60 footer too the best its done is 1.49 so its a fair bit off on the 60 footer

yeah with the glide you need to get stall and gears spot on will be goo to see how it goes once its sorted out

what gearset is in the glide? what first gear?

V8 gearset

Did you try the .84 so it would be a little more streetable. Hahaha yes yes im in a similar situation aswell with a 3 yrd old an another on the way, except im trying to hurry up an get it done my ****ter has been off the road for 3 yrs now ,, make sure u let us know when you take it back out i havent seen it run for like 2 yrs Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

what you mean v8 gearset? 1.76, 1.82, 1.90, 1.94, 2.08, 2.18 ?

Mine has the 1.76 1st and 3.45's if that's anything to compare yours to Paul.

Yeh I take it out from time to time but stay well away from any hot spots, ur just asking for trouble then! so normally i just cruise with mates to somewhere away from the highway... ---------- Post added 27-05-10 at 12:07 ---------- Quote: Originally Posted by Epitaph [View Post] what you mean v8 gearset? 1.76, 1.82, 1.90, 1.94, 2.08, 2.18 ? not sure bro ill ask Preston's n find out Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Should have put a Gt4294 or similiar 70mm turbo(precision) on it. The 76mm is overkill unless you run at least 35psi. and probally slower for the application you want it for. Not the first time i have heard them surge around that boost level either, worse with small cam and a motor built for more low down (6500 peak ) and not revs.(8 ish) Hope you sort it cheers darren

Haha yeah i bet it comes on hard would smash tyres for sure man,, 1.00 rear should do it the thing will proberly grow wings an take off then ,, lol yeah the cops are bloody hot these days man bit of a joke really, probably the reason none of my mates are into cars i gotta cruise by myself lol Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
