Default Getting there. LQ9 turbo 70 Buick GS
Hey everyone

I have posted before about a few things so thanks for the help so far. This is a car I am building for someone who is on here too. It is nearing completion and we got most of the hard parts mounted up today. Here are the pics so far.

Looks sweet. Is that a GT42 turbo?

Not really sure. I am just the fabricator but I believe it is a 78mm borg warner.

Yes they are truck manifolds with the flanges cut off. The DP is 4" necked down from 5" off of the turbo.

Yeah it barely fits there. Makes for a really short intake path.

nice job Chris

What transmission? A 4L80E I assume? That heavyweight GS will chew up pretty much anything aside from a TH400.

What's up Marc? Yeah it's a 4l80. Heavy bastard it is. Try pushing it all around the shop for months while it isn't running.

I have to finish some plumbing but it should be ready to fire up soon.
