Perucho's BP swap

[NeptuneZeek]

well i have it plugged in and it still does that i could only reverse it a couple yards from my carport to my garage lol.

[NeptuneZeek]

Oh and Perucho i wanted to say thanks for all the help the other day it made all the difference on getting it started now i just want to get it running to drive. would anyone happen to have a intake piece i could get for the new intake because i cant really close my hood at the moment unless i take the intake off

[perucho]

^ Where does it hit the hood? Mine is a bit tall at the back where it goes over the manifold. I loosened up the hood hinge bolts and repositioned them so now I have about 1/2-inch more clearance. That's something I was going to do anyway just for looks, but now it has a good purpose

[NeptuneZeek]

i havent moved the battery or the intake yet so i have to have both on one side. i want to move the battery to the left side and make a nice intake set up

[perucho]

Yeah, I'm planning on moving the battery to the left too and reposition the intake tube. Probably buy a small sealed battery to replace the cheap battery the car came with.

when you said drill a hole in the front mount was there a write up on where exactly to drill it? has anyone ever put a six speed transmission on a bp before?

good job swap looks nice!

A g series is a tight fit. I can't imagine any 6 speeds fitting. That would be awesome though. Even with the .71 fifth in mine I can still pull from 25-30 MPH just fine. I do not need 2300 rpm to cruise 55mph. Maybe 1700.

Look at the front transaxle mount bracket. You will notice that the mount hole (on the bracket) leaves about an inch gap between the back of the bracket and the mount wall. If you drill another hole closer to the back of the bracket (closer to the transaxle), you can move the engine about 1/2-in forward and tilt it a bit.
This will make more sense when you look at the front mount and the bracket. I can take a photo later today.

im soon to be on the 1.8 band wagon... my b6t started rod knockin... and since i wanna build a car any ways why not 1.8

[kyleeeee]

i am sticking with my b6t. out of the box it puts out 5 more hp and all you have to do is take out the muffler to reduce the backpressure and open up the diameter of the exhaust to bypass the wastegate and its good up to 11 lb of boost ,that is easily over 140 hp without any mods . however, for a bulletproof , last forever na engine mod, the 1.8 is a awesome alternative looks great!

I'm running an open exhaust now and I had to take out my boost controller and run it stock. It still creeps up to the cutout. Stock b6t boost is 7psi I think so 10psi should be closer to 145hp. Chipped and 16psi I would guess 170ish. A stock Turbo motor is always easier to get cheap power from.

in the winter, when the air is cold and dense, I install a low restriction muffler to give just enough back pressure to keep it off the boost limiter when my foot gets heavy . in the summer months, open exhaust with the stock cat and 2 inch exhaust is perfect to keep the boost at about 10.5
