Conversions & Hybrids - magnacharged third gen

Ok, tomorrow im purchasing a maggie for my ls1 swapped 88 gta. Has anyone done a maggie on one of these cars?

Probably. BTW, I'm not jealous.

You punk. :bash:



:lol: :lol: :lol:

lol, I talked the guy down to 1500 for the kit.

I wish I had your motor though 6.2 would rock.

I was just looking and it looks like hawks third gen put one on an 89 formula....different setup though. I might go with the ram air II style hood because the maggie isnt going to clear the hood.

I also know that the pulley setup wont work, so im going to convert to truck accessories, so the pulley and belts all line up.

I need to contact speartech and find out more about what I need to do. I know there is something about the fuel injectors ill have to address.

The guy is also giving me a 3.0 pulley for more boost.

look at speartech camaro.john is a sponser

I checked it out, i need to get ahold of him and have a long conversation.

What sort of maggie?

TVS?

Radix Magnacharger

ill have to get a different hood, thinking of a ram air ls1 style.

damn lucky. you. lol
speartech was probably the first magnarched ls in a 3rd gen

hawks has a couple of sc 3rd gen fbodys as well

Not to change topics, but TPI Terror what color is your car? Do you have more pics?

They do, but I dont think they are radix, I think they are using a differnt style.

speartech has the exact same blower and motor as I do.

This is what one looks like in a G-body.:pics:

flippin sweet dude!!! any dyno numbers? what other mods? what did you have to do to install it?

how many pounds of boost?

video???? take video of that nice wiiiiine

No dyno numbers and it hasn't been to the track. The blower was on a truck before so the same basic tune runs it fairly well. Besides cutting a hole in the hood, it's mainly a regular swap. There is a bit more trouble mounting the intercooler and such, not real bad. For now the motor is a bone stock 6.0 with a 4l80. I'l have to find someone with a decent camara to get video.:D

Since Im going to need a hood how does this look? opinions?? anyone???????????

I think its ugly personally...Doesn't flow well at all. The ONLY car I've seen that stlye hood look good on is the one it was intended for. lol I've seen em on 88-98 trucks, 4th gen Camaros, yada yada, and they all look like garbage IMO.

I always thought the ram air style hood looked cool on the third gen.. I could just never bring myself to pay upwards of 800.00?.. Wow, were they that expensive 5 years ago? Its been that long since I sold my third gen and havent given it any thought til now.. Any way.. if you have the money left after your build is where you want it.. I say go for it..

I do, however, think that the Ram Air 1 hood (LT1 style) looks outstanding on thirdgen firebirds.

I think the general stance/attitude of the car dictates whether or not that hood looks good. Im not usually a fan of 4th gen spoilers on a 3rd gen...but the spoiler, plus the RAII hood looks pretty good I think. There are a couple guys running around with that combo. One guy has sunburst orange as his color and it looks fantastic.

Hope he doesnt mind...

I just sold one, I think they look good on base model firebirds and formulas, but not trans ams.

I have a 4th gen spoiler on my car, I think the hood looks good on that car!

Even that hood might not clear the truck Maggie. The throttle body is way over to the right and up. The Speartech car has the throttle body adapter cut and welded to be lower and aim down.
