This is truly the best thing that could happen to a C3! Great build!

I agree :p the stock l48 140hp motor just wasnt gonna cut it :p

Got to work on it early today. Had a remote tuning session and hit some more buttons. After MAP is hooked up and O2's are in we can fine tune the car. Not gonna start it again till at least map is hooked up. Got all the body panels on and fit besides hood with the interior going back together.

Thanks! Tuning it will be a fun learning curve.

This kicks ***. I have always wanted to see one of these done properly with a boosted LS

Lol bank account doesn't like it. Were finalizing the appointment for fab work for a moly 10 point, radiator mounted, turbo piping, chute mount, kirkeys mounted, column mounted, and shifter pedestal.

I have a ton of relatives coming for thanksgiving and don't know if I want the car at a shop while they are here. Alot of them are looking forward to seeing it....decision.

Great build. Always liked C3's just not their performance.

BoostedC3

140 hp was never very fun

Awesome build!!! ...what brand gt45 turbos?

BoostedC3

The slop mechanic brand, got them new from a friend.

I recieved my shifter, PTC converter, and steering column. Just waiting on Trans to get done and radiator. I'll put it together then it goes off for a while to fab work.

BoostedC3

Getting more parts in, got the Kirkeys in and they fit. Hurst shifter in, radiator mocked up, new 3/4" round tubing column with strange quick release, and PTC converter arrived. Waiting on the th400 to be done next weekend. Well put the trans and converter in then bring it out to the fab shop! Getting close.

I'm busy going to street machines and NHRA races out of state the next 2 weekends so it will be 3 weeks till we get it all in.

I approve of everything I see here.

BoostedC3

Got my steering column on and replaced the rag joint with the u joint. Once the trans gets here its off to the fab shop!

Gotta get a new starter and flywheel tho which sucks already.

Nice work! I wouldn't even start any tuning until after you get the cold side done.

BoostedC3

Yep, were putting tuning off untill the car can drive on 5psi (wastegate)

BoostedC3

Kinda forgot about this thread I had made so i'll update it with all the progress pics. Got the 12 point almost done, turbo piping, fuel system, cooling. Onto the 4 link and 9" now.





















Got the th400 from C&R/Ground Pounding Transmissions and converter from PTC

Bad Apache

Wow the T-tops make for much easier welding access. Great progress!
