I converted the car to a LS1/T56 in 2008. Made 426 rwhp/406 rwtq on motor. I didn't ever dyno on spray. Started a turbo project now. I sold the motor and transmission to fund a 6 liter/4l65e combo.

 

Lots of trial and error went on

 

More pics

 

Intercooler pics

 

Had the hot side piping coated

 

Cold side piping completed and then coated

 

Cleaned up the engine bay and welded up some holes. Then some new paint

 

Painted the intake white. Not sure if I'll keep it or not. Opinions welcomed

 

Engine came from a burnt express van. Only had a few thousand miles. Looked a little rough until i removed all the burnt stuff. i took it completely apart and reringed it opening up the top gap. Put all new bolts and gaskets. Texas Speed 228r cam. stock heads with new springs

 

Motor set in

 

Currently working on wiring and saving up some more $ for the fuel system. I'm going to switch to the 4th gen tank and go with a dual fuel pump assembly

 

Wow looks great man. Im building a similar setup as well. I have a thread going on tgo

Very nice setup,what turbo are you running and how much boost do you plan on pushing. I m going to be doing turbo build on my 6.0 with the specs in my sig. Curious to see what power comes out of it through my t56.

 

turbonetics 76mm and gonna try maybe 12-16 lbs. as much as I can on pump gas anyways

 

Subbed - want to do something similar in my 84 TA.
Coated pipes turned out great. You move your battery to the trunk? Which k-member, mounts and oil pan are you using?

 

I had moved my battery to the back many years ago. Oil pan is factory 02 Z28 pan. K-member is BMR

 

Nice work! Love the white. I'm doing the same with mine right now. I was thinking about doing the LS6 manifold in white too, I think it looks great!

 

Thanks. I like it too so far. I can't wait till i get it all put together

 

little progress finally. its been a slow process but im getting there

 

looks great!
is the pipe coming out of the turbo going through your frame rail? can you take some pics of that? i'm trying to figure out the best spot for my 80mm turbo. inlet and outlet on this thing aren't in ideal locations.
