OP, I had very similar groaning/humming through the body of my old 242 when I put a T5 in place of the broken M46. The semi-fix for me was the engine and transmission mounts. I had RSI engine mounts with a energy transmission mount. I swapped the trans mount for the cheap anchor rubber one and...

Looks great. Now add the BOOST! The tall gears with some positive pressure is awesome.

Registered. See everyone there this year.

I have a stock/modified for T56 slip yoke at front in a turbo LS combo that hasn't given up yet. It's just got new stock u joints with a hd center support bearing. Car is in sig, 1982 also.

cool, I'll dig around

are you keeping this thing NA? I might still have a stock LS7 clutch on a LS1 FW kicking around that you could score for free if you want to make the trip.

Well, she looks shiny in the pic of the drivers side. I've got a LS2 GTO T56 in mine and its been awesome. I ended up cutting the tunnel open where the shifter comes through on mine to make everything fit nice, but it did make the carpet fit a little funny under the console plastic. I also put...

Did you cut/buff the car? The paint looks great in the last pic.

Nice work Erik.

I dig the arrangement. Header looks really cool, and the forward placement should keep the turbo from heat soaking. Not sure why anyone would recommend a 90+ for any sort of high HP application, the header is the only answer. Is the car up and running with this setup?

That price is pretty standard, $50/port is normal to start.

Are you doing 2.5" because you're planning ahead for +T? These engines only make about 100whp on the best day of the week, if you're going to keep it N/A you might consider a smaller tube size more appropriate to the power output. I had a 11:1 compression B23 in my old 242 that put down 121whp...

To be fair, my ex used to commute with the car so that accounted for most of the mileage. I never used them for any track style event, but bought them solely because they were a coveted time attack tire back then, and I wanted to try a good sticky tire on the twisty roads around Lake Berryessa...

2manyturbos is absolutely right. The RT660 is a badass tire, however very soft. I had a set on my old Mazdaspeed 3, they were awesome, but only lasted 15k. YMMV.

dl242gt is right, I fat fingered the keys. Meant 205-60-15

Look into Nitto Neo Gen tires 205-50-15, a pretty good balance between inexpensive and performance.

I ran a soft 12.50 last year right ahead of the 2nd pass and the 1031 letting go. I'll send my slip for the West coast

I'm at the final stages of my 244 conversion. Combo is L33(Alum. block 5.3L), 7675 Turbo, T56. Car has PS only. So, my question is for those of you with similar combos/front weight is what spring rate makes for a good performance street feel? I have 300/lbx10" now, and it's pretty soft. Thinking...

I just bought an MTC shifter boot, however I'm having a tough time figuring how it gets secures to the floor and seals. Is there a metal retaining ring to clamp it to the floor with the (4) bolt holes surrounding the shifter hole? Thanks. I should add I'm putting this in a 1982 244, but I am...

Okay, so I'm working on getting my 244 running on MS2. I've been reading/learning constantly but am still confused. Setup as follows: MS2/V3.0, LH 2.2 Hall, MSD 6AL. I wired it the way DIY shows externally, and wired the MSD like DIY shows as well. I am starting to question if I messed up by...
