I finally have my '71 Chevelle up and running with the twins! Pretty good too! I have yet to get it to the track and have only used 10 lbs of boost, but this thing is FAST! Last year all motor I was going 123 in the quarter. From my street blasts, I would say I am sitting at around the 130-135 mph range with 10 psi. That is my best guess with my butt-o-meter.

I am very impressed with the turbo setup and it is a very well thought out design. Being that this is only a street car, I am wondering if I should turn up the boost. I am sitting at abut 11:1-11.2:1 AFR with 17 degrees of timing.

Pics dont work, sounds like fun!

 

Links fixed!!

 

Looks bad ***! What engine management are you running?

That is a PTE FMIC and 4.5" thick? I had the same one I was going to use in my GN/RX-7 setup. Nice piece.

Who made the headers/downpipes etc? Looks clean. Is the car an auto or M6?

-Mark

 

that is nice any pics of the whole car?

 

Th intercooler is a 3.5" thick spearco 182 core with tanks I custom made myself. I run the stock pcm with a 3 bar map and Flashscan.

I made the 321 stainless headers and 304 stainless downpipes myself.

I run a t400 with a brake and 3.42 gears with a 4000 stall.

Thanks for all the compliments!!

 

Wow, I'm impressed. Beautiful work. Once you get a tune that thing is going to ROCK!! I would appreciate a detailed parts list so I can dream a little. I hope you have a good a/f monitor.

 

Hot Damn!!!

 

Listed specs in first post.

 

Hot damn, thats clean as hell! Who built the hot parts???

-Matt

 

Amazing!!! You sir own my dream setup.

Best part about it, there's still room under the hood

 

Looks great!! You did a great job! Chevells rock! How was the clearence on the 315 35 17'S what back spacing did you use? How wide of a rim? what brand tire? Last year what was your ET? 60 foot time? I haven't been to the track yet. I need tires first. Thanks

 

I love the header configuration and routing, great job. Are you going jet coat the headers, you did such a great job on the fab work, it would suck to loose those beauties to rust.

 

that is a badass setup. any pics of the whole car?

 

dont think he needs to worry about rust too much
Very nice looking setup, more pics of the entire car would be nice too...

 

I run an 17" x 11" rear rim with about 6 1/8 backspace. They are the Bf goodrich drag radial tires. Last year I ran a Pirelli road race tire in the same size. They were $300 per tire and hooked like crap. I ran a 1.67 60'. These tires hook twice as good because they are not a road race tire with stiff sidewalls. It should hook a 1.50 something 60' this year. I ran an 11.00 at 123 with the pumpgas motor last year. That was not an Ls1.

As far as the headers. They are 321 stainless and I built them and the entire system myself.

I will try to find some pics of the car.

Thanks for all the compliments!

 

Damn dude, you're a TIG pimp, and have a great eye for detail. You did a stellar job on that setup.

 

Wow that's awesome.

 

Thanks!

 

Damn that's a nice car. I love old school muscle. My dad had 3 tricked out Chevelles when he was younger. When I asked him why he didn't keep one he said because he couldn't fit a carseat in the back. I was like since when!!! lol. Anyway very nice car man. When are you gonna run it at the track so we can see what this baby can do?
