What about a 4th gen Camaro/Firebird? An auto can be had for $5-6K all day long.
Hell I'm having a hard time getting 7k for my car.

Re: Well it was only a matter of time. I HATE QUADS AGAIN!

Let me explain a little further, as my last post was unclear a bit. When I spoke about the fan physically moving in the opposite direction, I meant moving axially - the fan actually being pushed back from the amount of air it is moving (not wanting to rotate from the torque of the motor). My testing...

Oh and Eric, I'm sure I have a quad fan in my garage that you can have.

Re: Well it was only a matter of time. I HATE QUADS AGAIN!

What you are feeling is that bit of air being disturbed around the ends of the blades. Take the fan off the car, and put power to it to make it spin the correct way. Stick your hand in front and take note of the amount of air you feel. Also take note of how much the fan wants to physically move in t...

Re: Well it was only a matter of time. I HATE QUADS AGAIN!

It might be worth-while to consider a pusher setup like I've got on the GTU and also the Z-26... 04-27-09_1911.jpg I know the fan is not at peak efficiency because the blades are turning backwards, but it still pushes a lot of CFM, and if it explodes, it can't hurt the engine. It is also nice to ha...

Re: Eric is in the hospital

Eric texted me a couple of days ago and let me know he is out of the hospital and at home recovering.

He will be alright.

Re: Exhauts manifold modifications, parts/stuff?

Your best bet is to find some turbo grand prix manifolds and start with them. No matter what you do, it is going to require a lot of custom fabrication and welding. To answer your question, yes you can rotate the compressor side of the turbo, it is called clocking. Turbo and cheap do not belong in t...

Re: Emissions Test fail, etc.

312 is really high. Don't forget, 220 is already a high reading, they allow you ALOT of leeway there. IIRC my 94's idle HC were in the 90s. What was your high idle HC reading? It should be very low, like less than 20PPM. The slice probably isn't causing an issue, but you should seal it up none the l...

Re: Boo I'm Back and Have another new beretta

Maybe not with a 2010 build date, but there definately are 2010 G6s. There are a few on autotrader right now. Maybe a canada only thing?

Re: Boo I'm Back and Have another new beretta

Jon, my post is directed at him. He is confused on what engine he actually has. He thinks it is a VVT, but it is most definately not, and therefore it is not from a 2010 car as he thinks.

Re: Boo I'm Back and Have another new beretta

Going by the pictures you showed me it is a regular LX9 NON-VVT 3500, that means the car was a 2005-2007. Period.

Re: Boo I'm Back and Have another new beretta

I saw the pictures of the engine he is talking about here and it is definately NOT VVT. So I'm guess that it is NOT a 2010 G6 as he thinks it is.

Re: getrag 282 compared to 284?

Don't waste your time. There are no parts available for the 284, and whether it is actually a stronger transmission is questionable. It did receive something like a 25ft/lb higher input torque rating than the 282, but many people, myself included have proven the 282 able to handle power levels far h...
