NA_TURBO Member 532 Member For: 9y 1m 16d Gender: Male Location: Mildura Posted 03/07/20 12:12 PM Author Share Posted 03/07/20 12:12 PM Had the powerglide serviced and checked today. It's been really good, no issues but it's done nearly 1000kms since we built it so thought it would be worth being check. All good, looks healthy. It's catch can is empty and there's no leaks anywhere. Finally got a dyno sheet printed out haha, torque drops pretty quickly towards to high rpm but apparently due to turbo not keeping up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shows a nice 20psi constant. It will be the 2 speed box and converter affecting the torque. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are making good power at 20psi. The graph just reflects you gearbox and torque convertor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Transmission is built for it, engine should hold it, just need diff and turbo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty neat setup Also picked up a trailer for drag week next year for $180, done bearings and changed the wheel hubs to suit Ford wheels. Got rid of the rust and gave her a paint job. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Changed the front bar to a BA XR6 as I had damaged my old BF one, I like the BA look better. Moved the trans cooler to where the washer bottle normally sits. Moved the haltechs data port to inside the car to make life a bit easier. Need to find some decent wheels so I can have some wider rubber on the rear. Can't accelerate too quickly on the street otherwise it spins the tires when the converter locks up. Fun but useless lol 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
