Default Trans Am 88mm Turbo Build

Well I finally bought a car but needs some finishing to make it complete. I got awesome deal on the car that I could not pass up. This will be the first post of many to come. It will be shipped here on the 1st so I cant wait.

Basic rundown of current mods-

Forged 347, PT-88mm, Built TH400, Full Rear Suspension, Fuel System, AMS500

I have already ordered some parts for the car -

1. Nasty Performance Complete Fuel System (Injectors, Sump Tank, Braided Lines, Magnafuel Pump and more)

2. PA Racing Super Turbo Kmember, Upper and Lower front A-Arms

Here are some pics of the car to get it started.





Sorry for the picture quality. I will get some nice ones once the car is here.

The wheels are 15x8 in the rear. I will have to check the offset and backspacing. I am getting a set of CCW Drag Pack this weekend so these may be for sale soon.

I would be happy with 700-800 on E85, maybe more. I was hoping for mid 9s... It has a built 10 bolt in it right now so I cant push it to far or even at all, shopping for a 9" everyday just cant find one with the gear im looking for.

I get little time here and there to actually do anything to it. I am waiting on fuel system to get here. The more I dig into the car the more I keep finding things that I want to do. I hope like hell to have it done by 2k13.

All I have done is -

Wire in boost controller, relocated the trans cooler, cleaned up the wiring of the car.

Got CCW Drag Pack for it. I will get new pics up tonight.

Got a few things done yesterday. Wiring was a disaster so I rewired everything I could. Put new lights in the gauges, wired in boost controller, relocated trans cooler. Waiting a few more fittings from Nasty Performance to start fuel system. Also picked up CCW Drag Pac as well.






Boost Solenoids Installed



Still need to find the plug for this to get my speedo to work


Also picked this up for 2K13

Once 2K is over I will relocate all the wires and clean up engine bay. Just don't have enough time to do that right now.

And yes I know it needs a bath. Lol

Lol will be last thing I do. Not worth washing it while its still under the knife. It cleans up well just not time yet to do it.
