Nice man! I saw your post on LS1tech a month or so ago and I was very impressed. I've thought about selling my Camaro to do an LQ4 turbo swap but I just don't know if it would be worth it.. Keep up the AWESOME work!
 
man u ruined TBricks... Tbricks was founded and based on poor volvo tuners with a yearning for speed, most of their tuning involved zipties or jb weld or some type of house hold object... where are you zipties? and why is your engine not leaking oil? and why are u making substantial horsepower?









i guess the answer is because you can! nice work hopefully you will be able to work with primarily volvo motors in your volvos in the future

Well, you don't speak for me sir. I may not be making that much power, but I try to avoid the ghetto.
 
I think it's time for a real web page. For some reason, anything from cardomain doesn't show up for me.
 
you live in harrisburg? i will be there this august for my cousins wedding who lives in harrisburg. (i normally go back every 2 years to see my entire family on my moms side.) id like to check this car out when i get back there, assuming its done by then.
 
Awwwwww.... As dissapointing as it is that the gorgeous stainless is covered up, that does look nice and will look nice once its run. Right on...

Sweet man... Can't wait to see the car!

Are you going to do something about the plastic covers that go over the valve covers? They look kinda nasty.
 
Heat coating is the sh!t, but heat wrapping is even better then heat coating, however we have black heat coating by HPC in Vic on our hovercraft and it's done wonders.

On a daily driven car (that may be used on some short trips), it is possible for heat wrapping to retain moisture and encourage rust. Heat coating does not have this disadvantage.

what management are you using again? comp on the motor? desired boost?

With LS and LT based GM motors the factory computer system is almost always adequate for tuning. With the proper programs(like LSEdit, HPTuners, blah blah) you have even more control over the car than you would/could with something like MegaSquirt. And it's alot more complicated than just "remapping for desired boost"... but that's the basic idea.

Only reason I know this is because the shop I work for specializes in GM tuning (f-bodies, vettes, gto's, etc.) :)

and the wrapping stuff works like a sponge for oil...

Which is precisely the reason I'm curious about the cost of heat coating. I have a wrapped dp...

...but get scared thinking about the "what if's" should a good bit of oil get into during the heat of the upcoming summer.
