Collin Patton's Trans Am 408ci, 88mm build thread. ( it runs again)
Well we are finally starting on Collins car. Its a 2001 trans am, 6speed for now but he says he may go auto. Plan is the 88mm on a 408 lq4 engine. Unsure of heads, cam, intake at the moment. We will be using manifolds. Just got some of his parts over to the house yesterday mainly the turbo and its HUGE lol. Compared to my s475 anyway.
I will post updates as we progress.
But for now,
Ill leave you with this!!!!

I was told that this turbo is from Reed works and is the supernatural version. This is the first version of this turbo which might be why it's different in appearance. This turbo was originally on mike Emerson's Windsor.

Definitely not an S500. If he was told that, then he was sold something incorrect. That is a Garrett Large Frame unit, turbine wheel is also F-trim 130mm, not 111mm like the GT55 and S500's. Won't spool anywhere near what an S500 will spool like. Dead giveaway is the compressor wheel and the bolt down center section.

And it doesnt matter who built it... the parts would still have came from borg warner and it would still be a borg warner turbo...
You posted picture proof of at least one lie you were told.... he said it was a 1.15 ar... but in the pic it says 1.00.
You dont have to take out word for it.. pull the housings off and measure the wheels with a caliper.
