i still need to buy the injectors..and finishing the wiring.. .,car ran great with bigger cam and carb setup, same ly6 motor... sure it will run even better now.. Funds are holding me back to finshing this right now.. hopefully it will be done before turkey rod run in daytona..As i only live 45 mins away from there.. I'l keep it updated,with pics dyno number,and some video when drivning.. thanks for looking.. And please go easy with welding jokes. ..haha. Just a begginer..

 

Only one picture of the girlfriend? Very nice

Cool project, just make sure you leak test your welds and grind them smooth and nobody will be the wiser

 

Huhh. ......can I come over to keep your GF company while you are working on yer car? lol.

I was wondering if you were still going to try a turbo at some point. (old thread)

 

haha.. yes the gf is awesome and very supportive of my addiction,,. but yes jimbo once youve been boosted you;ll never want to be n/a again.. i loved the turbo 5.3 i had in this chevelle...now ive just upgraded to bigger and better things.. For the welds..im gona leak test them and possible wrap them later...

 

Oh and i will get more pics of the gf and the car...lol..

 

Yeah!

 

Need more pictures of the GF, preferably topless...

And don't take her for a drive until you get those rear control arms figured out.

Where are you routing the crossover from the driver's side feeding the hot side? Did you decide to go back to EFI? I thought you were running carb.

 

one thing to keep in mind is to be careful of creating too much slag inside the piping...would be a shame to have some come loose and tweak those nice new turbo wheels

 

im running stock manifolds from 08' truck on the driverside.. routing it between the trans and motor,,coming back up thru feeding into the passengerside... i doubt anytoplesss pics.. haha and i have fixed the cotrol arms.. I installed them correctly,,the anti hop bars.. the shaking should stop.. cant tell untill this gets up rolling again.. yes im going back to efi.. i sold all the carb stuff.. it ran prety good n/a..

 

Did you spec the turbo?

Can't wait to see this.

 

as a welder i would be worried about using a mig welder on the hot side plumbing. mig has a tendancy to fail more often than tig when you have a decent amount of pressure on the welds. but it looks good man good luck with the build!

 

thanks..and yes .. its a magnum t76 with .96 t4,,same thing as masterpower turbo..same makers.. 1 year warenty.. $800 shipped to my door,,

 

Really? $800 for what exactly?

Thats the best opening photo to date. More please.
The build is coming along nicely. Lets see more of that to.

 

Are you running just a single turbo on the passenger side of the engine? I don't see a cross over pipe from the driver side?

For those wondering about the driver side.. gona put v-clamp or something similar where it is cut. for easier install, and take out.. Possible thinking of those flex exhaust hose's.

 

It looks good man! Same color as mine, same gear it should run real good on boost. I also have family in ocala. LOL
