my brothers ws-6 t/a turbo..yum

[Toyotech]

for over the past year my brother has been having his 1998 trans-am ws-6 fully built. from 9" ford rear with 3:73's, 76mm sts turbo, 402 built bottom end, cam...top end, manifold, fuel...you name it, the car now has it. so today we went down to drop off some wheels and check on the vehicle.

heres a few shots and some video for you

big *** front mount intercooler, plate surround cut-out and fogs removed... scary to see in your rear view

quick dyno video

http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v1...t=100_0183.flv

582rwhp/642ftlb...only went to about 4900rpm on low boost... he's got quite a few more 100's to go :) ...car will dyno well over that.

it will not have a cage and it will be street driven... at 2500rpm, it made nearly 500ftlb's of tq at the wheels

sorry...i saw anything else, so figure anything owner related and such.

who cares if its a damn yota:P

[Kaotic Lazagna]

damn!

[kimona]

Sorry, just can't get excited about American rides!

yea i know...those cars that can kick the ass end out at 80mph are boring..its cool. :wink:

[BailOut]

Too bad it's American. All that work and money and it will only be good for a measly 60,000 miles or so, dropping fluids and burning through an alarming amount of gas until that time.

All so one man can compensate.

What a shame.

what do u expect from 1000hp and matching tq... 60k miles? you joking? its practically a race motor. the head gaskets will blow probably once a yr depending on boost.

as for gas milage, while putting down 308whp with a lid on the induction and free-mods the car got 28mpg and ran 12's.

this isn't a daily driver...

i don't understand some of you yaris drivers..lol, i know there are true gear heads out there somewhere.

my domestic makes near 260whp and gets 36mpg...those damn domestics.

[graywolf_14]

I like american and ricers. I mean what sounds better a 4cyl with a fart can or a v8 with dual exhuast. It isnt about mpg or compensating, those that say that others are trying to compensate is because they are self conscious about themselfs.

[largeorangefont]

Nice T/A. Great work. That looks like alot of fun. Turbo LSx motors are awesome.

[graywolf_14]

Course a 4cyl with 600hp is a little more impressive than a v8 with 600hp. I have had 3 4cyls and 2 v8's and I like all of them. Shoot one of my favorite cars is a 1.3 with 63hp. I didnt like it for the mpg I liked it because it was fun and under estimated.

[graywolf_14]

See me I dont care who makes it or what size motor. It is the fun factor and the fact that I like it. I like mustangs, camaros,festivas, cobalts, focus,gto, yaris, tc and on and on. I think when some people have so much loyalty to a specific brand it is stupid. Yeah if toyota has a car u like than cool, me personaly I hate most of toyota cars. It was stupid for getting rid of the supra but I like the yaris, corolla s(has to be the s) and there trucks but not there suv's. I like the suzuki sx4 and aerio but not the rest. It seems like people have loyalty to a company even if they dont like them. It like people saying they had a chevy so they dont like fords.

Not so much to me. A 600hp 4 cylinder is a fully built motor with a turbo. It needs race gas all the time. Without race gas it will be hard pressed to make more than 400 HP.

A 600 hp LSx or 4v ford motor can do it on pump gas all day every day without touching the longblock.

A cool car is a cool car, no matter what country it comes from.

well an update, the maf has been pegged...so off in another direction

it hit just under 5 volts at 4000rpm at 10psi... at 4k the car was making 650whp and well over 700ftlb's or tq...lol at 4 grand.

thanks font

Werd.

That thing will be a monster.

if it will ever get traction... i know the motor is built well, new age viper t56, and ford 9"...but i don't know whats done in the rear yet... worries me if he ever runs slicks with 800+whp

[RogueYaris]

I should take a pic of our yaris next to our 83 mustang. the thing's in need of some work but will still light 'em in 2nd, not sure about third but like i said, it need some work.

[Mr.Yaris]

Wait, it has a Ford 9" (a proven, extremely durable rear axle assembly), and you're telling me you don't know what's been done to the rear yet? BTW, a Ford 9", if set up correctly, can handle a measly 800+whp without any problems...

Also, you're worried about traction? Any car will get traction, with the right tires and suspension setup. A car that can't get traction is driven by an amateur or the suspension isn't set up right...

Wow, that's one of the most arrogant and ignorant (not to mention STUPID) comments I've found on this board so far. Congratulations on sounding like a moron, with your "holier-than-thou" attitude.:rolleyes:

Just because you're too pathetically poor to afford driving something with REAL POWER, doesn't mean you're justified in bashing on people who own REAL PERFORMANCE VEHICLES.

My wife and I have a 1993 Camaro Z28 and a 1998 Trans Am (like the one in this thread). Both cars have QUADRUPLE the horsepower that your almighty Yaris is cranking out, and both get good gas mileage for their power output. I haven't measured my mileage lately (because my Camaro has been retired to "weekend toy" once I bought my Yaris), but it's in the low 20's on the highway (God bless the T-56 six-speed tranmission), and I know for a fact, my wife's Trans Am gets as good as 30mpg on the highway. Burning an alarming amount of gas? Ha! As if! The dropping fluids comment is a joke as well. Way to stereotype something you know nothing about. My 93 Camaro (a 14-year old car) has about 146k miles, no loss of compression, runs like new, and has ZERO LEAKS. My wife's car, a 98 Trans Am,has 116k miles and also has ZERO LEAKS. Both cars are at DOUBLE the miles you claim they "drop fluid" at...what do you have to say about that?:laughabove:

As for compensating for something, maybe YOU would think that. I'm not trying to bash you too hard here, but I own an "American" muscle car, and I'm not "compensating" for anything...my wife will confirm that one.:evil: As for my wife, please, tell me, how in the hell is SHE compensating?:bellyroll:

[Mr.Yaris]

Hey, Toyotech, mucho kudos to your bro...THAT CAR IS SEX!!! My wife and I love F-bodies (Camaros & Firebirds for those of you who don't know), so much in fact that we own one of each (her T/A looks like your bro's, only her's is white). I can tell you, I am envious of your bro. I've only got to major mods left that I wanna do with my Camaro, the first being building the shortblock with forged internals, and the other is slapping a big turbo on there and cranking 10-15psi+ of boost. My wife and I both agree, there's nothing hotter than blending the roaring exhaust note of a well-built V8 with the "jet engine-like" scream of a turbocharger...:headbang: :headbang: :bow: :bow: :w00t:

i know that the 9" is very durable...know all about the dana's, 8.8's...7.5's and so on, but i don't know where the rear came from and what has been done besides and ring gear set...don't know if it was used for a previous track car....aka i see it hold on the dyno and thats it so far. i haven't talked to the owner about it, only my brother.

was sarcasm...i know the car will get traction. its more geared to him as the driver... through two transmissions before the clutch failed, a box of crush pushrods...

when the final numbers come through i'll be posting it up up ls1.com and the f-body forums. at first i wondered with him doing a squires set-up with the rear mount turbo system... but now after seeing the set-up in person and on the dyno. im pretty impressed...

[Mr.Yaris]

Any plans to see what it does in the 1/4 mile? :)

yea, but without the cage... lol, i guess wait for a track rental day and hopefully get a good run. he has ordered a set of hoosiers for it so we shall see... even if he runs low boost on the hoosiers he should be able to get a good run. i can't wait to see a trap speed

[Mr.Yaris]

Well, he could run it now, but he'd only get one run in before they'd kick him off the track (for the day), so he'd have to make that one run count... ;)
