This long time project is near complete. 95Ti in excellent shape has been transformed into a killer. Put a built 3.2L s52 bottom on an s50 head, gt35r turbo, 6spd conversion with stand alone AEM. Result: 445 whp on 91 pump, 520 whp on vp109. Bring a diper! nothing like power slides in 3rd gear. |  |  | | 12-17-2009, 04:11 PM | #2 | | Junior Member Join Date: Oct 2008 Location: Chandler, AZ Posts: 8 | Working on good pix

Wow that sounds awesome!Did you tune the AEM yourself?was it easy?good to know you're local to me,I'd like to see this beast! | | | | | 12-17-2009, 11:18 PM | #4 | | Junior Member Join Date: Oct 2008 Location: Chandler, AZ Posts: 8 | Turbo Ti
I had UMS in Mesa do the tuning. The car was built by Vaughn Motor Works in Phoenix. Toni at UMS is awsome, made it run like a factory car! Said we could make another 50 if I pulled the cats. Dont really want to do that thought. I am worried about the frame. I'm running r888 Toyos on it now and it feels like its about to tear the car in half. I will be back in town at the end of the month, gonna take it to Firebird and see what it will do. I will let you know when I'm going if you would like to join.

just noticed 91 octane .. forgot you only got 91 out there.. we have 93 here. very impressive. thought about meth? i know it gets very high ambient temp there. | | | | | 12-18-2009, 02:31 AM | #7 | | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2005 Location: Portland Or Posts: 2,666 |
The race gas will cool it down plenty. Sunoco is usually cheaper than VP and its just as good.
If your going to Firebird with that much power I hope you have a cage.... Cause that much power is good for 150+ down the straight... If you've got the gears for it... I'm talking full 6-point!
And have a good time!

Subscribed for pics and dyno. I don't know how this car will be even remotely streetable. Any chassis reinforcement or engine internal upgrades. This may be the most powerful TI ever. | | | | | 12-18-2009, 03:25 AM | #9 | | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2005 Location: Portland Or Posts: 2,666 |
The cage would stiffen the car up and keep it from doing a Herbie.
Wide body plus some really sticky goodyears...!

sounds awesome, can't wait for pics  you might want to consider injecting foam in to stiffen the chassis, check it out here if you don't know what I'm talking about : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCDwDhdTd3c | | | | | 12-18-2009, 11:18 AM | #11 | | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2008 Location: Gilbert Posts: 621 |
