96 Beretta Project

[3400-95-Modified]

Looks like I'll need .020 nitrous jets and .010 fuel jets to net me a 108HP crank increase... which they calculate at 98whp gain, but that's different with whatever trans you have obviously.

Doing some more research on which distribution blocks are out there since I will need those as well as possibly two solenoids, but I think I should be ok with one since I'm not flowing any more than my original shot... I think...

Now THAT'S impressive.

Took me forever to find were he said that he sold them to you. They are very nice looking.

[3400-95-Modified]

yes

Is that what LOLVTEC was selling?

Ok, now this engine shit is getting serious... LOL

Spider legs of Direct Port here we come!






In other notes, The car did get some pretty good runs end of this season,(October) I don't have my slips on me for all the details but I did hit a 12.66@108 with the new Hoosier tires and Koni suspension... Much less in the wheel spin department or at least much less issues with it than I've had in the past. I hope to get this direct port system in and then after that also install a progressive Nitrous controller so I can start off the line at say 25hp and progress into the full 100 shot. I have a feeling that the direct port 100 shot jetting will produce more power than the TB injected 100 shot jetting so I can only see the wheel spin I've been getting on system activation getting worse than it is right now, making the progressive controller a must. That will also allow me to enable the system on the line and not when I "feel" that I have enough traction and that method should further improve my consistency.

Now I'm going to need two bottles and probably a -6an or -8an line feeding the system...

Don't buy cheap Monroe upper insulators...





The last coil bent the plastic part and cut the rubber insulators, I went back to the factory ones I still had.



Insert in the housing.



Test fitted the rear, end up with 2" of shock travel vs the old 3" not sure yet if the springs bottom out before the shocks but I think they will.

Not offended, I just see it way to often on everyone's riced out civic so it's way overplayed in my opinion that's all.

Oh, it's a ricer thing.....shame on me, lol.

ugh, sorry dude, just being friendly. Sorry if I offended anyone.

I caught it and chuckled, just didn't say anything about it.

Thats bad... I'm not a huge "shocker" advertiser... lol I think that is a bit overplayed.

I guess no one understands the glove joke...

I heard a long time ago SHO Taurus Konis will fit with an extension on the tube that houses the strut in the knuckle (cartridge style strut). At least that's what the guys with the L67 GTP's do, I believe. Kinda shocked that they don't get Konis. Speculation though, I don't know for sure if the do or don't. I might look into it sometime...

Best you can do is similar to what I did... non of it "fits" my car specifically someone else found out that a Saab 900 Rear shock would work in a pre 95 Beretta if you reamed out the top mount for the bolt, and I knew from experience that a 94 shock would work in a 95+ Beretta minus the extra suspension droop when you lift the car...

But all you need to do is get detailed info on the shocks that Koni has and see if you can find something that is very close and only needs minimal customization to work. Same goes for the J-body strut inserts... Once again someone did it before but I just re-engineered the way to bush the cartridge in the L-body strut housings, but overall not very difficult to do.

Koni and Bilstein WAY back in the day did make struts and shocks for my application, not sure about 95-96 specifically, but both of them have since discontinued the product lines... There is one guy that has the original Bilstein setup in his 95 Z26 and one other who has the original Koni setup in his 90's GTZ... Both setups are "rebuildable" by the vendors but I wonder what they would charge if parts they need are no longer on the shelf, or if they do not offer rebuilds on discontinued products.
