- Dale jr Monte Carlo that's clean and fast sorry about my dad interrupting and complaining about tigers baseball lol you can fast forward to the end where I get on it from 30-80 or u can watch the whole video if you enjoy the car
Did you have any hood clearance issue after intercooler install if you did how did you fix that problem
Nice
Can you please tell me where I can locate the fuel pressure sensor on 2004 monte Carlo
Where did you get the clear coolant line?
With my transmission, the highest I reved was 5700 rpms at 52 mph first gear. So it would be at close to 100 at end of second, yet The top speed for a stock lacrosse is about 142 mph, so I dont see it going faster than that. This has a very tall 4th gear too.
Plus your curb weight is alittle less than mine too.
I'm sure if your car was turbo or supercharged you could touch 150mph I seen a video of my friends highly modified Grand Prix gtp touching 162 mph could have almost went a little faster he has a lot of work done to his car though
@@endsle11 I have a dale Jr as well looking to-do some mods. do u have a parts list. and what shop did you take your car to?
Where did you get the triple pillar pod from
Pretty sure I got it from zz performance
@@brandonendsley8256 I spoke to them to day they don't make one for the monte carlo they are for the gtp I can get the gtp gen 4 one but it's not a direct fit I found a site that makes it for 2000 to 2004 monte carlo lotek gaugepods
@@brandonendsley8256 and it fit with no problems or did you have to do some work to make it fit
Yea that was years ago that I bought the pod but if you get one that says it fits 04-05 Monte Carlo it should be a direct fit
Are you running stock pushrods
Did you have to use the extra 3 wires that came with the aeroforce gauge or just plug right in to obd2 port thanks
How did you install your custom radio because I can't figure out how to install mine. In my Monte Carlo it has a round radio plug, and the radio itself doesn't have that plug, I wonder if it takes some sort of wire converter for that plug.
Just continue to take care of it. You better off keeping the monte carlo in storage so it dosent get dirty with the salt for the snow.
Just wash and wax her, I drive mine in the winter lmfao
Dude I got a question for you. I have a ported gen 3 blower and was considering going to a gen v and porting it. Inhave stage 3 heads but not with the injector bungs inside them. Will this work with the gen v? I notice you said you have stage 2 heads, do they have the bungs inside them?
I am still running stock heads and I'm pretty sure I still have the same injector bungs I might have to switch them once I port my heads to stage 3 this spring I would definitely go gen 5 not much porting u can do in a gen 5 except making the inlet 79mm a stock gen 5 is more efficient than a ported gen 3
Yea I wanted to get a gen v but the guys at zzp said it wouldn't work with my lim which is from the m90 sc kit even tho it's the same as an l67. Tim said id need the bungs inside the head and the gen v wouldn't really work with my setup, there tech articles state that the gen v is only 5% more efficient in cooling air and raising boost 1-2 pounds more that's it, I agree it's more efficient in cooling air but power wise similar. I should have done my own too swap instead of originally running the ssm90 kit. I can always install bungs in my heads and run a different lim but I just had this done and I'm broke lol
Beautiful car. Love what you have done to it. My brother has a stock jr car now with 271k miles. Strong motors. I have to ask - when you romped on the car the speedo looks inaccurate - based on how fast telelphone poles were going by. If I had to guess, when the gearing was changed the speedo was not recalibrated. Theres no way the car got up to 80 or 90 with the scenery passing by. Albeit I’m watching this from a video. I may be wrong but just seemed odd. Easy way to tell is take a gps with you and compare to what your speedo says. Otherwise love the hp and torque numbers you stated. I own a plain ‘04 SS NA. Love these cars.
Hey thanks for the feedback! I sadly no longer have this car I definitely miss it but I feel I got a good replacement for it I now own a 2005 Pontiac GTO with the 6.0 LS2 and 6 speed manual transmission with just doing headers, CAI, BTR Stage 3 camshaft the car made 467whp on the dyno I feel like the monte made more power down low but the GTO pulls crazy hard on the top end I feel like I need to post a video of that car now
Mine's black but i luv the red, sounds nice.
it doesn't have a handbrake does it, the e-brake is a foot petal right???
Yes it's a foot pedal e brake located right by the hood release
+endsle11 a bit unfortunate, but these cars are extremely easy to mod, so i can probably get one on my future 05 (almost 16 waiting for the time i am old enough to get my car) and i am super excited
Yeah, Im not a huge fan of the Lumina, but aslong it gets you from point A to B lol. My Buick gets 31 highway and 21 city.
That's why I wish it had the 3800 more power with almost identical mpg Yea that's all I use it for point a to point b I got a great deal on from a friend of mine car is in great mechanical condition too
Hey bud, I be had a 2004 intimidator since I was 16. Daily driver In Ohio year round. Got it with 20k miles on it. 22 year old now and I'd love to give it some more power while being able to maintain the longevity of the 3800s. I'm very new to performance mods. Me and my buddies work monarch with body work (which with these winters, I'm going to need plenty).
I'm stock right now. I'd like to do a 3.5 - 3.4 pulley and Air intake. What all would I need to do to support that pulley mod. Any info would be great.
Thanks!
3.4-3.5 pulley is a good starting point mods I would recommend to run that would be colder range spark plugs like auto lite 104's a good cai (not just an open cone hanging off the maf lol) a 180* thermostat and either a powerlog front exhaust manifold and ported rear manifold along with a 2.5 inch down pipe or a set of headers for if you ever want to mod further and then a tuned pcm file which you can get from zzperformance all the parts I just mentioned they have with a properly tuned 3.5-3.4 pulley setup you should see anywhere from 7-9lbs of boost depending on elevation and gain around 30hp
Is it possible to add a supercharger to the 3500 by. I got an 07 lt
Yea I had the money so I got the zzp stage 2 tranny if u have an 03 did u top swap a NA 3800? If so u should be making just as much torque as me cuz you have higher compression do u have the xp cam too? Yea once u start doing some serious modding larger injectors are a must lol
Ok I have an 04 same color I just want to know how much did the entire engine work cost including the exhaust system because my sounds like a prius and it's kinda embarrassing please anybody respond with a cheap place to get it done in Texas
Exhaust is nothing. Headers are pricey. Cold air, injectors.
Money talks and bullsh!!t runs a marathon.
Trans, pistons, cam,valves.
Depends what ya want
Yea it was a Na 3800 for some reason my torque was low but I'm still running a stock torque converter
Can this body kit install on a 2000 Monte SS?
Im in NY and ill be driving it all winter.
I'm in Michigan and usually the winters are pretty snowy but this year we haven't had any measurable snow yet almost wish I didn't put it in storage but it keeps the miles down not driving it for 5 months
How much did all these mods cost you to get the hp and torque your at?
How much more hp does the pulley itself have?
It's hard to judge the amount of hp that the pulley by itself adds because to be able to safely run a 2.8 pulley on a 3800 m90 car you need extensive modding like bigger cam e85 fuel larger fuel pump and injectors larger throttle body intercooler for the supercharger exhaust headers and other supporting mods to aid in air flow temperature control and exhaust flow the stock pulley size is 3.8 which makes about 7 pounds of boost the 2.8 I'm running right now makes about 12 pounds of boost between all the mods I have gained about 130hp to the wheels a stock 3800 supercharged makes right around 200whp is your lacrosse already supercharged?
endsle11 No, My Lacrosse is stock. It has 200hp (somewhere around 170whp) Its a 2005
How fast can this go in terms of top speed with these mods you have?
My top speed is limited somewhat since I have the larger 3.29 gears in my zzp built transmission gives me faster acceleration with having to sacrifice some top speed with my gear set up I could hit right around 140-150 top speed with the 2.93 gearing your transmission has (also same gear ratio my old transmission had) top speed would be right around 160-165mph I would guess
Mines a 235 9.6 no nos.
Just mods
How much was the 2.8 pulley? It would be nice to have one for my buick lacrosse 3.8
The whole modular pulley system is 100$ that gives you the pulley and snout face to easily change out different pulley sizes
I have 60# deka injectors I'm also running the e47 the 50/50 mix of e85 and 93 octane on 23* of timing my engine has always dynoed high on torque for some reason it made 320lbs of torque on my previous 1.9rocker 3.0 pulley set up I'm also running a 2.8 pulley now.
Nice monte got an 03 same mods but I'm wondering how you got 383tq and what injectors are you running? I'm on a 3.1 pulley an I dynoed at 326 wheel 320 wtq and I'm on crappy 33#s
It's late and my typos are outrageous. Lol. Apologizes... 64k miles on her. Probably needs realigned or a tie rod end after my 720° spin on the on the freeway lol. Besides that she runs great! Lol Help a noob out if you have spare time.
I like that exhaust can you tell the part number I want the same exact exhaust sound
My exhaust setup was zzp headers with 2.5 inch high flow cat down pipe, resonator delete, thrush welded mufflers which I got from autozone and stock tips.
This is badass.. Do you still have it? I seen it was wrecked but was just curious if you kept it around. That's a shame mane... Awsome build.
Thank you yes I actually do still have the Monte the accident only caused cosmetic and body damage but the insurance company still totaled it out so I bought the car back for only 300$ still needs alot of work already pulled built motor and tranny out which I plan on selling in order to get enough money to get a new stock l67 and transmission and the body and suspension parts to get it fixed back up and be my new daily driver my new toy I have now is an ls2 gto which I plan on throwing in a tick performance poluter cam in it this spring
+endsle11 nice we have about 3 Gtos driving around in my small town.. I think all of the are ls2's but one. I am a ford guy but gm performance is never a let down. Keep us posted on the Monte though sure was a beauty.
Also what is the rev limit set to when shifting?
My rev limit is set to 6300 rpm I could go higher with the upgraded valve springs I have but 3800's don't make a whole lot more power past 6000 rpm that is if you blueprint and balance and build the bottom end of the engine a friend of mine has a Grand Prix like that it revs to 7500rpm
endsle11 6300 rpms is pretty good with your mods. Beleive it or not, my car does not have a redline on the cluster, lol but I beleive its aroung 5700 rpms.
Hey are you still selling the motor and transmission?
Other than that, I love your setup
Thank you I love it too lol
Your gonna post new vids of your car yet?
My car is in storage right now for the winter but once spring rolls around my friend and I are going to port and polish the heads then I will post up sum more vids prolly post up some racing vids to I wanna take it to the drag strip and see what it will run shooting for low 12's on street tires
I'm about to buy one and start my modification
Damn it’s fast too
I got one the same the jr edition shit pulls hard got it for 2k whit 120k miles
What injectors you run bro?
Yeah, if it was turboed,or supercharged I think it can hit 160+, since it can hit 140 stock. Keep up the great work man. Cant waite to see it in the spring. What are you driving now since its in storage?
I have a 98 chevy lumina I use as my daily driver not fast by any means since it only has the 3100 v6 that's like 160 hp lol wish it had the 3800 the lumina gets good gas mileage though I average like 20-23 mpg in the city and 30-35 on the highway not bad for a six cylinder
Omg your car is sexy
