SilverBuick: I have that RAM AIR VI in a .cad and .ai format. You have seen it on my Turbo hat.

Thanks for the offer and reminder of what it looks like. I've passed it on to Nick but am still undecided. I'll let you know if we go with the Ram Air VI.

The .ai version can be stretch in any direction to fit any shape. The dfx is less adjustable.

My Summit Racing score of the day, a 4" turbo down pipe for $20. When I get the water pump relocated in front of the cross member it should fit nicely.
I've also wired up the 4L60e and Microsquirt transmission controller, and picked up two more "core" 4L60e's. These two are from the mid-2000's which is better than the 1993 model I'll be installing first. I'll pop the pan and tail shaft housing off of each and take a look. One I'm certain is a core return, the other is from a guy doing a junkyard LS swap so a decent chance the transmission serviceable and may even be clean inside.

A guy on the inliner.org forum cast six of these for Chevy 292 engines, but never did anything beyond the raw casting. So I bought one of the raw casting. The runners are thin for as much porting as I'm getting done, but for near stock ports they'd clean up fine.

How are you overcoming the deflection of that long/thin mill? A multitude of tiny (.003-.005") cuts?

I'm not the machinist so no sure. That's the head porter's tool. He gets plenty of work so I'm guessing he knows what he is doing.

Well Photobucket knocked $300 off their ransom demands and for $99/yr (>$9/mo) I paid them off to restore my photos across the web. Not a homerun win but at least not completely ridculous.

More work on the intake. The plates have been welded to the runners to strengthen them. I shouldn't blow the welds on my manifold, lol. I've picked up a set of injectors from Fuel Injector Development that should easily supply my fueling needs. Then started to remove the cooling system and core support to begin the mounting of a 2nd Gen F-body aluminum radiator and intercooler. The plan is to get a 55 gpm Meizier remote water pump to replace the 21 gpm Craigs-Davies one I currently have. I've ordered an IO extender board (Input/Output) to get more sensor inputs to make the setup live comfortably just off the ragged edge. I'll be monitoring crankcase pressure, coolant system pressure, exhaust back pressure, pre-intercooler pressure and temperature and post intercooler pressure and temperature, as well as engine oil pressure and lash adjuster oil pressure.
The raw welds.  The welds cleaned up. The throttle body port and injector bosses and rail are next up.  A port shot.  I don't have an updated picture, but I'm about to pull a fender or two to remove the core support. I'm on the fence between getting a pre-made tubular one that still would need a bunch of work or just hacking up this core support that isn't in the best of shape anyways. Looks like someone has jacked the car up by the bottom of it.

Some goodies showed up yesterday. 6" SCAT rods and some forged Ross pistons to go on them. I plan on having some valve reliefs cut into the pistons to keep the engine non-interference. They are "thick" crowned for nitrous or boost use.
  Then woke up this morning to see the throttle body side of the intake manifold has been worked on.

With the "new" 4" down pipe, I need to move the turbo forward some from where I had it mounted. Since I'm moving it forward I'm also going to move it away from the engine some. I've bought some box tubing to redo the support and make it stronger.
This is the old support mount.

More intake manifold work. Got the fuel rail mounted! Getting closer to being in my hands. Nick wants to do some more port clean up work since the plates have been welded on and a few other things to finish up.

No major updates. The Nick did a little finishing work on the ports to make sure the head runner was a smidge bigger than the intake runner, and doweled the head so the intake sits in the exact same location when mounting it up. He flowed the head with the whole intake assembly on it. It's a bit over 190cfm at the lift I am going to run, but picked up a bunch at low and mid lift. Approximately 30% off the seat, 20% at mid-lift and 10% more at max lift than a stock head.
Picked up a 55gpm water pump to replace the 22gpm one on the car. Also some turbo plumbing couplers to continue setting up the cold side plumbing. Facebook video of the flow test. https://www.facebook.com/smithbergra...yY&pnref=story This is where the turbo lands with the new mount.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
