Guess you are going to have it narrowed?

Me to man i'm itching to Get it going but i'm super short of money so it's taking a long time. Hoping to run 10's once it's around 15lbs boost. No sarg i'm just going to drop it in how it is even though the drive shaft will be offset. I heard that you can fit a 10" rim with 7.5" backspacing and a 315 tire without narrowing it.

Got the 8.8 ripped apart today and painted. I need to get my limited slip center section to put in with my 3.27's still though and I need calipers, rotors, and brakes.

Looking good man! How much total do you have in the turbo and all the piping?

T76s10

Turbo - $350
bow off vale - $150
wastegate - $190
hotside Piping - $350
Intercooler - $120
Intercooler piping - $200

I think that's all the turbo related parts. But then I have the wideband, boost gauge, oil pump, oil lines and all that other good stuff that works with the turbo haha

Got the old piece of **** 7.5" rear out and placed my 8.8 on place. The u bolts ended up being the wrong size so I Gotta go to napa to get the right ones so I can bolt the Bitch in.




Got my motor grounded and tried starting it again today. I'm getting spark but no injector pulse. I think it's because my ignition wire shuts off when the engine cranks so it shuts the ecm off so I have to re wire that. Then it should start

Those mother ******* sent be blue couplers. They came from China so no way in hell am I going to send them back. they took two Weeks to get here

Looking good...the bed mounted turbo is interesting, lol.

Thanks! Lol I know sarge that's why I decided to do it. I didn't want a rear mounted turbo underneath like the sts kits so I decided to copy carshops turbo s10 but I like the way mine ended up much more than theirs.

subscribed! great build man

T76s10

iTrader: (6)

thanks! i just got it started literally a couple minutes ago. it runs like hell but still needs to be tuned and its smoking like crazy from the paint on the headers and i have a few leaks. i been checking out your build thread on your first gen s10, wish i was able to move that fast haha. where you plan on placing your turbos?

Freeman83

**** im 2 1/2 years into my build, those are old pics so far lol. Its taken a while. Im just picky and patient. Im putting them on either side of the motor, very tight but it will work out nice.

Haha that explains why out looks like your hauling. I wish I could have fit a front mount but oh well. Good luck fitting your twins, it was super tight for me with truck manifolds but your engine is back father so I think you'll be good

Freeman83

thanks man, im planning on using 98-99 camaro manifolds....if i can find them. Im kinda at a stand still until i do. yeah there isnt much room up front in these trucks.

Any updates on this?

T76s10

iTrader: (6)

Yeah I got a few still gotta take some pictures when I get home

Here's a video of the truck starting

Looking good man. I cant wait to see the wheel fitment. Im going to be running the same rear end and im curious how that will turn out.

iTrader: (6)

You going to drop yours 3" also? Your going to have to have like an 8.5" backspace to tuck the wheels under the wells I think since you have a first gen. Second Gens have the fender flares so I have to run 7.5" backspace with a 295 tire. I won't have my drag wheels fire a while though so I have to poor some shitty wheels on for now

Freeman83

Oh ok, I guess once I have the rear end on I'll have to do some measuring to figure out the back spacing. I'm lowering it 4" in the front I believe. the rear is getting a 4 link and coilovers.

T76s10

iTrader: (6)

yeah im not positive though but that would probably be your best bet. if your doing a 4 link with coils might as well throw a full tub in

Freeman83

Lol, I thought about it but I think ill hook fine without the monster tires. Im excited to see what yours does on the track. Any plans for that in the near future?
