From knowing nothing to having a Thunderbird supercharger on an m20b27i

Where are the vidyaz!?

That was a great drive yesterday.

Yeah man. Good to finally hang with you guys.

I drove 50 miles today in it. All really mild driving. I felt that I owed it that after yesterdays' tom-foolery. It does well when it's being tame. It is very drivable. I'm gay for my car. What can I say?

Ran it with Chris (Agent) and Zach (Idk r3v name) today. She did good. all mechanicals worked properly. I had a smidge of belt slippage and intake temps seemed highish, but overall, really had a blast. Me and Chris did a couple of 4th gear pulls on the interstate and he handed my ass to me, so I take back what I said about it being similar to an S5x. Chris has a cammed m52 swap (I'm not sure about any other mods).

I'm real proud of her. I gotta hook up that intercooler...

Great to hear it's running hard!

[Ether-D]

Oh, thank the baby jesus. Ok then, I don't feel like total shit any more.

Anyway, I need to put my taller diff back in and get the intercooler going and whatnot. I'm dying to get a real tune going on as well.

Thank the baby jesus...

[AwakenNoMore]

I demand videos! and tits.

[agent]

Uhh, whoops... I was in 3rd. I don't hit 6k in 3rd until about 85mph so I figured we were going for it. When you held up the four fingers I thought you were confirming to go on honk #4. :oops:

That just means we'll have to do it again soon.

I think I'm gonna hook the cruise control back up tomorrow. I miss it.

And you know how I bragged in the beginning about how I would be keeping a/c and power steering? Full disclosure, I haven't quite done that. I do still have power steering, but I will need to have another pulley welded to the back of the m50 crank pulley in order to get the a/c functioning. I can save up for that though. Where do you get a pulley balanced? It's aluminum, will it even matter?

Maybe this, just cut out the center.

Sold!

Not the car, the interference and business.

[agent]

Yes. Two way radios, Escort Live, my Passport and me running interference.

[Ether-D]

Chris, Idk if I can get away with a 0-100mph. Is there anywhere I could do it and be safe from Johnny-Law?

[agent]

Yes.

And add 0-100 to that list.

And take me for a ride while doing all of it.

Doh. Ninja edit fail. Didn't mean to quote myself.

[agent]

So what shots are you wanting? 3rd gear pull, 4th? 0-60?

Yes.

And add 0-100 to that list.

[Ether-D]

Got it, that worked great. I need to change the high point and low point RPMs and the % of throttle but that totally fixed the rich deceleration.

This thing has such nice torque. Say you're turning off of a 45mph road onto a 30 mph road. You'd normally downshift to second. It wants to be in third. I've tried to shift into the imaginary 6th gear a few times. Now bare in mind, I still have the 4.10 rearend in it from before the SC project (and will put my 3.73 back in asap). But still, I can't wait to put the smaller pulley on there and have a actual pro dyno tune it.

And yeah, I'll get some video for yous once my kids are back with their Momma on Saturday afternoon.
