Thought I would start a new thread on the Cuda, as the old one seems to have lost a lot of the detail, photos, etc. I know my car doesn’t appeal to the purists, but I hope the track brigade will appreciate.
So here goes . . . .
I have decided to abandon the previous Supercharged combo & switch to Twin Turbos.
Still collecting parts at the moment, some I will be hopefully collecting in the next couple of weeks, some have been delivered to home, but as usual, I'm away, so yet too see them myself.
I will post a few pictures as the rebuild progresses, motor is in pieces at the moment, as waiting on new Pistons n Rings. Needed to change as I melted a few, from when I screwed up running the motor too lean
Pretty luck really, could of been a lot worse.
New pistons will have the skirt area beefed upped to cope with the planned higher HP, also different ring material.(Will still need to get the A/F right though)
Still staying with EFI (Bigstuff3) although trying different injectors this time (Atomizers) & increased size to 225cc-Min/21.5Lb's/hour. Along with new inlet manifold, throttle body, cam & valve Spring change. To help keep the temps down, will also be installing Air to Water Inter cooler . . .
For what was meant to be a quick swap from Blown to Turbos, things soon escalate.
I thought the blower was a big lump, but never realised how heavy Turbos are !! my 88’s are not massive, even modified they weigh 57Lb’s each, previously 65Lb’s each.
Thats about it for now, will post a few updates as things progress
