2000 WS6 5.3 / 7675 turbo 6 speed build thread ~ First startup video page 3! Starting this build thread a little late and couldn't have made this possible without the help of my friend Charlie Polly. Will be posting pictures along the way. Here's a basic run down of the car..
2000 Trans Am ws6 6 speed street car
Engine/Drivetrain:
2005 Iron block 5.3
BES CNC'd 243 heads with Brian Tooley valvesprings
BES custom spec turbo camshaft
Doubler roller
ARP rod bolts
ARP headstuds
LS9 gaskets
~~~~~~
Stock 6 speed
Monster clutch
Tick master
Moser 9 inch
UMI Suspension
Turbo stuff:
Huron Speed hotside kit
Precision 7675 CEA turbo
-4 feed/-10 drain
Tial 50mm blow off valve
Tial 44mm MVR wastegate
DEI Blanket and wrap
CX Racing 31x12x4 intercooler
3" aluminum pipe w/ 4" charge pipe
Fuel/Cooling:
Twin Racetronix 340 pumps
Racetronix dual harness
Fuel lab fuel regulator
Holley 120lb injectors
-8 feed, -6 return
E85
Griffin radiator -16 AN lines with Derale fans
Most of the pictures were during winter/late winter, sorry some of the pictures are cell phone shots. I have a bad habit of forgetting my camera.
Getting started
Ready for the scrap yard
Engine bay getting prepped
Basecoat
Basecoat clearcoat and various holes filled/smoothed
This was an absolute pain in the *** IMO but, well worth it. Decided to remove the HVAC and remove the A/C, keeping the heat.

Twin Racetronix pumps in the factory bucket finished and installed, fuel line, regulator and stainless fuel filter also finished. Also all new brake lines were done, along with a line lock and a few other things.
Camshaft in, heads on, pan back on, motor back together.
Engine back in with UMI Performance solid motor mounts
Derale fans mounted
These are the most more up to date pictures (sorry for the cell phone pictures) Should have another update with better pictures in a few days. CBR Performance power steering lines and Wazee billet pulley on, manifolds coated black and currently the coldside is being finished along with an fittings welded and a few other odds and ends.
On the way to get the coldside finished and a few things welded
4 inch charge pipe almost finished. New alternator is on it's way to get rid of the ugly dirty one currently.
Turbo to intercooler

Thanks Blown!
Engine bay is the same color as the car. For some reason it looks way different in pictures because of the garage lighting and throws the color off. It also doesn't like to pick up the metallic in it and makes it look non silver metallic.

Thanks guys
Defiantly should be exciting to drive for sure.
I agree, thanks!
As of right now I'd like to see it put down some numbers in the 700/800 range and just be fun to drive. It needs a cage but, wouldn't mind seeing what I can get the car to do at the track.

Awesome build man!! We have almost the same build as each other. Only difference is your doin a 5.3. I just finished mine up and started the tuning. Hoping the 7675 puts out some good power.

Looking good! Can you post some pics of where you trimmed underneath the rad support to be able to fit it underneath? I have the same rad and am trying to do the same thing...
