Very nice but, what are you doing with a 3500 when GM made 3900 motors in that small 60 deg V6 package. I built one for a Fiero, offset grinding the forged steel large crank pins to small block chevy 2.00 journals, swapping in chevy H-beam rods and using Mahle forged pistons for the LS1 which...

You're at a 1.33 : 1 drive ratio, that's almost 1:1, I asked about amp draw because that's a good way to assess whether you can go up or down in the ratio to either improve efficiency, or get more boost. In other words if you're still within motor and battery specs with the current setup, you...

94 Camaros and Birds came with a 3.4L V6 option, how did you get to 3.5L, swap in a 3500 short block? I'm pretty sure I was the first to do something similar years ago prior to the 3500 front wheel drive motors being manufactured. Provide some real details and pictures of your swap so that some...

Great job. Do you have a blow-off valve and if so where is it located, before or after the MAF sensor. What are the details behind the challenges that remain to be addressed. What ratio to motor are you running on the blower and are you monitoring the current draw for peak current values?

Look at the map, locate the value on the left and determine the units. If it is in meters per second (m/s) you can use the following calculator to convert that in to rpm. I've been using this bot for years, initially for traditionally boosted applications but now for trying to identify the best...

You have to address the pressure differential with a carburetor. If you blow through the carb you will blow against the fuel flow forcing it to backflow into the tank. To offset this the carb and tank would have to be pressurized which is unsafe and impractical. Next and what was done with early...

Water methanol injection is a suitable substitute, used it for years with a traditional turbo setup, I wouldn't turbocharge without it now it worked so well at supporting not only high boost, but high boost with a high compression ratio on pump gas. High compression is another thing I make sure...

That's a win because an electric 2 psi is a lot more than a traditional turbo 2psi. I also have a modern engine management system to learn the tuning ropes on. Unlike OBD 1, OBD 2 engine management is torque based and not as straightforward as OBD 1. Torque based systems limit engine power and...

No I am not, but it should be sufficient for a significant enough improvement over stock, given that Alex has proved the efficiency level of an electric turbo to be about 40% more efficient in his platform than a traditional turbo, so 2 psi in an electric turbo will be very close to 100 percent...

I'm new here and to this process and have found the idea very interesting now that electric motors capable of supporting the idea are available. Fortunately like many of you I have the equipment to experiment with. I've been looking at a pin gauge set for about a year now and expect to be adding...
