Cant wait to see how little time a set of rears will last with the blower...

Looks great, the whine will be hypnotic.

haha im guessing I will go through a set in the first week of getting it.

Looks sweet man. Just curious as to what you are going to be doing about the GT stiching. Did you get around to installing the door trims? That blower looks sweet. Looks like i will have to get a BPT stroker to keep up with you. You are going to have 1 problem with that blower setup.


Traction! biggrin.gif

The GT stitching will stay. There will be holes and stuff in the leather if I unpick it. I will fit the front door skins. The rear ones wont fit. They are for electric windows and I have old skool winders in the back.

Haha you will need more than a stroker to keep up with me Blacklisted. I see they have a Kenne Bell supercharger kit for the little windsor.

Paid the deposit for the kit. So in about 2-3 weeks it should be going in. They recon I will see about 340rwkw out of it on 8psi. And a mountain of touque. Then there is the bottom rebuild I could get after for about 5k. Wich would see the blower going to 15psi and a shite load of power.

how much does the blower cost and how much boost u gonna run? your gearbox might need a bit of support?

if it sounds anything like jases xr8 then youre a winner. supercharged v8. damn theyre good

interior looks sweet as mate, what a huge improvement it makes

the full intercooled kit drive away is about $14000. But there are just so any options then once i have it fitted. The manifold can fit 4 brands of blower on it. Bolt off bolt on. Whipple, roush, eaton and kenne bell.

It is going to be tuned to about 8psi to be safe and kind on the engine and driveline. Then I can work on the week points as ther arise. With a bottom end rebuild which consists of a whole new block and all new internalsfor about $5000. I could see the blower pumped up to 15psi. But thats getting to crazy power.

Getting ready for Powercruise and installed a 10inch thermo fan to the PWR transmission cooler. Hooked it up to a swith so I can activate the fan from the cab at any time. Its just a little more to help the trany keep cool whilst doing the massive burnouts I have planned.

sounds like ur gonna be mean as hell to this poor car at powercruise but good onya! keep up the modding cant wait to see it force fed!

xt3valve- 06-22-2008
Im not going to give it hell but im going to give it a bit a stick. Im spending 15k on the car so y not use it hey. Its not a show car so im going to use it for what it was built for. Burnouts hehehe.

It will be a good way to find any week spots too. Then I can fix them and make it tougher.

Im aiming for high 11 second passes down the quarter. Im sussing out some 4.10 diff gears at the moment. So hopefully I can get them fitted when the blower gets installed.

Then a highstall for the auto will be next. wadesta/B1.gif

Cant wait.

Had a chance to read over this post in the last few days, I must say your car is turning into one mean beast wadesta/face.gif

The fact that its a 3valver is even more unique. Should be absolutely orsm wadesta/buttrock.gif going away from the norm....sweeet

Hope to see it at a cruise soon..
Well done

ChrisBA- 06-23-2008
This is turning out to be the most awesome XT ever!

Love it mate.

Blower looks insane.

BlacklistedXR- 06-23-2008
Yes i must admit that this car is a beast and i dont think there will be another like it. Should be awesome with all that low down torque from the 3valver and the instant boost from a PD blower.
BTW nice job on the fan install. Should keep the tranny oil nice and cool while your going at it at Powercruise.
Top work wadesta/thumbsup.gif
