Sounds great man, nice and throaty. Need a passenger to hold that camera though. Or do some drive bys.

Dang. Imagine how it will sound with a turbo!
Find a way to tune the exhaust so it's quiet at idle/low speeds, then roars when the throttle is opened up. Perfect sleeper car. No one would EVER suspect a V6.

COOL test drive video !!!

[Damkid]

Ya I need to have someone with me for the next video for sure :lol:

a couple weeks ago I got talking with a mustang owner (who has seen my car driving around last year and knew it was turbo'd) and I showed him a pic of my engine bay and he was just dumb-founded that I actually was able to put a V6 in it, I could tell the guy would definately not under estimate my car and had some respect for what I've done, it was the kind of reaction that makes me even more proud of it

Just make it to OSX so I can see & hear it!!

No more tickets!! Drive it like a nearsighted, slow witted, paranoid old lady on Valium. :p

YES!!! it is done that thing is so sweet!!! I want it!

You should start mass producing them, Kid.

Put a tach on that thing and open her up! It didn't even sound like it made it past 5k.

I don't want to be too hard on it yet, I'll give it time to work the bugs out if there is any,

But that brings up a question, my tach in my cluster is obviously for a 4 cyl so I know when I hook up a 6 cyl signal to it, it won't read accurate, is there a way to add resistors or something to make it read right?

[MONSOON]

That sounds like a question for FB71!

[nonamekid]

If you did hook up the tach it would read 1.5x to high. So 1500rpms on the tach would really be 1000rpms. You may be able to take part of the probe gauge cluster and make it work with the 323 cluster.

[Damkid]

I don't have the probe cluster anymore so I can't experiment with swapping parts and I want to keep the 323 gauges so I was thinkin, would adding resistors lower the tach signal strength to match the 4 cyl gauge so everything works the way it should, if that's my solution how much resistance is needed

[chrisofna]

There's some company that makes a converter for the tach, I'll have to find it for you. They have that same problem when putting the inline 6 cylinders from Supras into the Pickups.

Here is a converter that I found. http://www.dakotadigital.com/index.c...rod/prd127.htm

[chrisofna]

That's the one everyone uses for the pick-ups.
