1999 Regal GS Turbo failure...

Re: 1999 E85 Regal GS

The difference is pretty clear to me now. Im using a 05 gtp timing table with no knock so far. Ive driven maybe 150 miles with 5-6 shutoffs to help the car learn the tune. It definitely is more fun now.

While doing a couple pulls (scanning using DHP) i would ease on to the throttle and at about 75% it would break traction around 50-55 mph or more.

I found out my false KR is a faulty motor mount after being able to rock the engine back and forth with ease. I ordered a solid rubber mount which i may reinforce with the poly.

3.2 pulley is on the way
a scangauge 2 is on the way (i prefer the scangauge to the aeroforce)
 
Re: 1999 E85 Regal GS

Update. I changed the fuel filter today to a high flow filter. My old one was about 3 years old but the E85 made the gunk at the bottom of the tank free itself to clog my filter up. I also changed the plug wires over. I also found out that the bolt on the rear header (Near the EGR)was only finger tight so i tightened that up too with a 13mm ratcheting wrench.

I finally got around to installing the ported blower as well.

Re: 1999 E85 Regal GS

I also found out that my heads are from a bonneville, so i can get one of the coil pack brackets to use as a makeshift belt wrap.
 
Re: 1999 E85 Regal GS

Fresh oil/filter and AL 104s gapped to .050. I also received my motor mount in the mail. All i need now is the 3m window poly.
 
Re: 1999 E85 Regal GS

What's the difference in the heads? I thought that the coil bracket bolts onto any of the 3800 heads, you'd just have to bolt an L36\L26 passenger side dog bone bracket on to keep the that dog bone. Problem is that dog bone bracket requires a drilled and tapped hole.
 
Re: 1999 E85 Regal GS

Oh so the Bonne heads have that threaded hole for the l36 bracket? That's interesting. Especially since they don't even use dogbones, lol. Just curious is all. I'm going to be hunting for JY heads to port at home soon and I'll look for those.
 


Re: 1999 E85 Regal GS

It was my ghetto way of filling in the lines for a smooth finish. I need to get a different set to do and take my time on.
 
Re: 1999 E85 Regal GS

please i know its a turd 3800 but do it some justice and burn a full can worth of tire foam spraying that engine down then rinse it off the next time you wash the car.....

good lord for oily.

sure i beat on my sh1t too but at least clean it. that way your not covered in grease the NEXT time something breaks lololololol!

greasy snout and you just put that blower on? cmon man.
 
Re: 1999 E85 Regal GS

It will eventually get detailed. The blower is being painted a different color anyways. I had to reuse the snout from the one on the car and the rotor pack is from my old 99 gtp.
 


Re: 1999 E85 Regal GS

I figured now that im on e85, i might as well go for a 3.0 or sub 3" pulley.

Now is when i start shedding weight and dressing it up. Aluminum bumpers, deletes unnecessary accessories, N body rear brakes, Maybe swap out my seats for some 04+ seats, paint and clean the engine bay, etc. Ive got the engine and trans where i want it right now.

Maybe i should focus on brakes next...
