man im sorry to hear that. i hope you get it going again soon

 

Oh she won't be down long. Too much fun to let her be down long

 

Hope she gets well soon!

 

ordered me a s400 based turbo today from bullseye......should have it in and on before the end of next week. gotta redo a lil of the coldside and make a 5'' DP as i went with the t6 based unit.....this should be fun!

 

Just curious because I have a jy lq4 I'm going to put in my car too, how did you install the arp bolts? Did you bring them to a machine shop and have the rods resized and ad new bearings?

 

nope just swapped them out one rod at a time and torqued em down then slapped the pan back on

 

billet wheeled s480 1.10 t6 housing arrived this morning. i had 5 teeth pulled so im a hurting pup for today......before the weekend it will be running again!

 

congrats man. im curious to know how the spoolup is different from the old to the new

 

im curious as well. i was told it should be very similar if not a hair better

here is a couple money shots of the comp wheel..........shiny! big thanks to wild bill at BEP for a good deal and service on the turbo

 

well i started installing the s480 today, goin well so far. turbo is bolted in place, 5'' downpipe is made and welded up, just have to install a new roll of wire tomorrow to finish welding the o2 bung in place. i think it may be shorter than my old downpipe lol.
as for the coldside it will take a little modification to get it to fit up. v-band is the same but comp housing diameter is larger so it screws the spacing up. hopefully get it buttoned up tomorrow and back on the road

 

ok turbo is installed and ready to rock, took a short drive in it and it spools damn near identically to the old gt4202. here are a few installed pics.changed the oil twice in it already and seem to have nice clean oil(dont wanna fubar that new turbo!)

 

looking good ... looking good.

only suggestion - oreillys sells a molded waterpump heater core bypass for like 4 bucks hehe

 

screw you! lol imma put a heater core in it sooner or later but its low on the list haha

 

well im heading to cecil county tomorrow to do my comp license passes........gonna have some 112 in the car and a little extra boost as a precaution to make sure i go 9's

also my aem tru-boost should arrive tomorrow but i dont think ill have time to get it installed and operational as the car is already loaded and ready to go.

GOAL as of now is to go 9.50 with the stock truck cam this winter i plan on studs and a cam most likely. i love the low end but im just not fond of the truck cam laying over up top since its not designed to spin high

 

Nice build! I have a 480 going in my notch with stock bottom end 5.3 here in the next month or so. I will not have a tbrake though. Gives me some hope!

 

This thing is badass! Can't wait to see what it does with the new turbo.

 

Did you make it to the track? What did it run?

 

went 10.40's, got 4 of 6 license runs done. heat and so-so track prep didnt help me at all. best 60' was a 1.59 and average was 1.7's pedaling it from a 3500 launch. im also say the hell with it and ordered a ls2 timing set today and next week will be ordering a custom bumpstick from predator cams most likely

 

mmmm cam arrived at my eng guys today....picking up tomorrow and will be installed by the end of the day as well......cant wait!

 

well cam is in and car is running again. need to adjust the tuneyet but it runs. have a short vid will post up then
