lynchfourtwenty Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 lol, the trick is to shift super mega early, like 1500 rpms.. pretend its a big semi truck lol or tell ya what just throw the exhaust from shelly in the back seat, if you get pulled over tell them that shit just fell off an your goin to have it fixed hahah Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted August 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 lol i would do that but the stock exhaust from shelly is long gonei tossed it when the city was bitching about the car on jackstands Quote Link to comment

GrUveeDat Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 "im hoping to get the exhaust done sometime next week not sure if it will happen but im hopping :P" Great to see other 610 fanatics getting the 610's back on the road! Keep up the good work! Flowmaster just lost their patent licensing and now there are knockoffs available made in China or Mexico that look, sound, rust and smell just like the originals, lol,:lol: but may be a little bit cheaper to get. I was going to put on a used Flowmaster with new pipe, and it would have cost around 215. with the hangers, but instead I was able to get a new knockoff for just 30. bucks more complete with 2 and a quarter inch pipe, bends, welds and hangers. 2 and a quarter inch pipe just clears through the hole in the X-member without hitting on torque up. 2.5 might fit, but could hit the sides and resonate the whole car! :eek: Had that happen before. Does your Weber carby have a cable linkage on it? If so, are you going to convert to cable from mechanical? Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted August 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 really wow im amazed that a company that has been around for so long lost its copyright :eek: i have had a few people reccomend magnaflo so what im gonna do is have the system done then have the guy tack a flowmaster in then a magnaflo see which i like im going 2 1/4 anythign else would be to big for the little l20b and i plan on a flex pipe in the system somewhere probibly at the header flange the carb is set up for a cable if you look at the beginning of the video you should be able to see the new stainless braided throttle cable im modifying and making brakets for cable is so much better then linkage :D Quote Link to comment
GrUveeDat Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 I've heard good things about magnaflows also, but I thought they cost more? yeah, anything larger than 2 1/4 would strictly be for wide open racing horsepower at top ends speeds. Need the backpressure and low end torque for daily driver/street use. There may have been a kit made for cable conversion by redline. I actually prefer the mechanical linkage with a strong return spring. I think that the fuel injected 610's from Japan had cable type to operate the throttle body. That carb can also be modified to run at full power at all times by converting it to a synchronuous type and having both barrels open together instead of waiting for the secondary to kick in at half to full throttle. It will give more low end power and torque that way and only use a bit more fuel. Much cheaper than an outlaw 38/38 but with similar results. The SCCA requires the use of the 32/36 for ITB, but allows for the modification to it for maximum power output. :cool: Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted August 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 hmmm im interested in this carb mod the thing already gets horrible gas milage anyway :P Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted August 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 made 3 out of the 4 brakets i needed for the radiator (need a longer peice to make the last one) and got the second fan in and mounted ill take some pics later Quote Link to comment
sycloned916 Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 What are you using for the brackets? Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted August 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 What are you using for the brackets? so far ive been using some chunks of 1/8th inch plate i have around the house but i dont have a section long enough to make this braket it has to snake around the filler neck or go up and over the radiator itself Quote Link to comment
sycloned916 Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 I used 1/8 by 1in. alum bends easy,for a radiator bracket on my old BMW i had worked good. Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted August 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 I used 1/8 by 1in. alum bends easy,for a radiator bracket on my old BMW i had worked good. i would use aluminum but the only aluminum at this house is in the form of cylinder heads and beer cans :lol: the plus sides of aluminum would be that its easier to work with so im not out hammering bends in it in 97 degree sunlight :P here are the pics of how its shaping up fan and water pump are cutting it close throttle cable set up in the works Quote Link to comment
lynchfourtwenty Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 eh just dont get into any collisions an you'll be fine.. lol i too am interested in that carb mod, hope he elaberates Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted August 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 funny thing is i have more clearence with this setup then i did with the old one at least with this one there offset rather then the fan being right on top of the water pump Quote Link to comment
Hyphy Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 I have pallets full of scrap aluminum and you should know. You helped break it down. NO EXCUSES!!!! And yea, Id put ur flex pipe right after the header flange. Quote Link to comment

And yea, Id put ur flex pipe right after the header flange. oh yeah i forgot about that lol the flex pipe is gonna be a little bit further down in the exhaust if it was right at the header flange it would drag on the ground Quote Link to comment
Rubberman Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 Hey Bonvo, is that a 12" fan? How good does it work? Keep it cool? I've got a 12" for mine and that looks about the same spot I'll have to mount mine. Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted August 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 (edited) Hey Bonvo, is that a 12" fan? How good does it work? Keep it cool? I've got a 12" for mine and that looks about the same spot I'll have to mount mine. its a 10 incher but im running 2 one in the front as a pusher and this one in the back as a puller but before i made the final mount brakets i was only running the front one and it would switch off after a minute or 2 and stay off for a while in 100 degree heat i got it off of ebay and its rated at 1200 cfm a 12 incher should do fine just be sure its run threw a fan controler or at least a relay so it gets all the power it could ever need on a seperate note anyone know where i can get new caps for the brake resevors?
