Why no info on the subject at hand here. We’ve all seen a classic W-31 before. What about the exhaust mounted turbo system? I was assuming by the description that they had done a rear mounted turbo kit, which has its advantages and disadvantages. The exhaust is much cooler by the time it gets to the turbos, thereby reducing the positive pressure gains, but on the flip side, the turbo charged air is much cooler by the time it gets to the intake, which means more air density and efficient power gains. All you’ve got to do is use bigger turbos out back, higher boost at that point, which will cool and reduce boost, but still be as high as needed and much cooler, all for “free”, simply by the design and layout. While moving, the air cooling the exhaust system is like an intercooler of sorts, but without the plumbing.
I'm from Lansing and worked at Olds. I owned a '69 W-31 F-85 post car with a factory modified TH350 trans and 3.91 rear. Most fun car I ever had. Could beat or keep up with most any bigger block car on the street. Sure wish I had it back.
Exactly, the famously known "Green Sabre." Same car that CJ saw comming out of a garage with Ryder, Smoke, and Tempeny revealing the treason to him thanks to César Vialpando.
When I was growing up in the 60’s and 70’s,if I heard a car coming down the street I could tell if it was an Oldsmobile just by its exhaust note before even seeing the car..Mom had a 1964 Olds F-85…,the poor man’s Cutass ……
My second car in high school a gold 1970 442 W-30 4-speed. It came without air-conditioning 3.91 gears. It was 1978 and my dad rebuilt engine and had a guy in town that bracket race one just like that ran high 11 and he helped me tune mine. On a Wednesday night @ Green Valley in Fort Worth Texas It was awarded King of the street and it ran a best of 12.61 open headers and slicks. Around 13.34 that night to the mufflers and street tires. That time surprise me because on the street it wouldn't hook up. I think itp was a sticky track and I use VHT.
One of my dream cars for sure. I owned a 70 Cutlass SX 455 2 barrel gold over tan with black vinyl and a 70 442 350 4 barrel gold with black stripes-I wish I had held onto both of them...they were my fav's-I am partial to 64 Imperials though :-) This is my current car.... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-inW0JEvhQmQ.html
