Man, I havent been on this forum in many years. I saw the FB post and just read all 13 pages. Good looking out guys! Im in CT maybe Ill take a ride to look at the car, video him and troll him live for everyone to see
Sorry guys, I do not go on the forums much anymore. Ask and you shall receive. The kit was a brand new kit purchased last year.
Both Vband flanges on both manifolds not straight....
Manifold to head flanges on both not straight.....
More daylight!!
Ohh yea, no problems. This...
Here is a link below to a very good thread discussing cracked blocks. Head gasket issues are not very common on these cars. Unless someone has been in there and did a shoddy repair (in your case this may be true) However, I have seen more cracked blocks on these cars then headgasket problems and...
Is this a stock engine car with an unmodded Hellion kit? If so on 17psi 700rwhp is about right.
Next thing, 93 + Torco does not give you 104 octane. Max octane you can get using Torco accelerator is 101. I would not be doing any WOT pulls until you get the car back on a dyno or street tuned...
Hellion would be a safe bet, however, it will cost you more in the long run if you decide to modify the kit.
Where as if you go with something like CG, you just fab it up from the get go.
The Hellion kit, are bare minimum needs to be converted to blow through right off the bat. The flaws...
Alot of people start off with a CG Fab hotside, which comes with manifolds, up pipe and a starter down pipe. That hotside depending on options usually goes for $1500-$2000. Then you have to add in wastegate(s), BOV, intercooler, finish exhaust fab, tubular suspension, cold side, turbo, etc etc...
Nightmare pretty much hit the nail on the head here.
On a stock engine most 76s will see full boost around the 4000rpm range.
My 76 with a stick in a .81 housing would be full boost @ 4k. When I swapped to a .96 housing it pushed it up to around 4300.
Now you may think that is awful, but to...
I am looking for the Hellion merge/crossover pipe on the hotside. Its the pipe that connects the driver side manifold to the large Y pipe. I need the merge pipe for a stick car. Hoping someone has one laying around that went auto or upgraded. The pipe I need is circled in the picture below.

Update on this project. New owner got the car up and running and broken in. Had to work out a few bugs. So far the car is making great power on 19#s and E85 845rwhp/734rwtq through an Auto. Cannot wait to see what it does turned up!
Up for sale is a used Hellion single turbo kit for a 99-04 4V. Turbo is NOT included(Turbo has been sold) . This kit has been modified to fix all the flaws from the original kit. Upgrades changes are as follows. Only reason I am selling is because I sold the car.

Typically on higher boost applications I start at .024 and go down from there. The NGK BR7EF that OP is using comes gapped out of the box @ .024 also. If there are any issues, then I will gap it down to .018-.020.
The cold hard sad truth is, yes, 490rwtq is correct. The short answer here is, it is completely normal for this combo to make that.
The longer answer......
I have installed hundreds of different combos. The KB 2.8 and KB 2.6 blowers have been the least impressive. They make HP, but the TQ and...
I have seen this before. The Lethal hat with 465s does not fit very well without modifications. The pumps are probably sitting too far down in the hat. You will need to trim the rubber line on the hat where the pump slides in and trim part of the nipple on the pumps as well to get them in...
The rwhp his particular car makes has zero comparison on your concern. There are guys that have gone 8s on the stock remanufactured longblocks.
It just seems like you are chasing a dyno #. With your lack of details and specific data, there is no other answer for you. The car is making power on...
You are in good hands with Ken.
Definetely get a datalog.
It really sounds like a vacuum leak. Find a way to block off either the cold side piping or the TB. Spray soapy water around the intake area, vac lines etc. Pressurize it with compressed air and looks for bubbles.
Where in the...
