I am starting another Turbo car build this winter. (White 98 Trans-am)
My parts are consisting of the following:
LSX iron block with ETP 265cc 6 bolt head's. (427ci.)
Lunati pro billet crank, Oliver billet rods, manley piston's, comp cam,
MOROSO OIL PAN. Edelbrock intake,elbow, and TB.
Going with a 6 speed tranny. I also will be switching out to a TH400 for track duties.
The goal for this project is to have all the accesories,(Power steering,A/C, and heat) and make 1200-1300rwhp on tap at all time's!
The turbo parts are consisting of the following:
FI-EZ 94mm Billet Turbo, with a turbo smart wastegate and 2 turbosmart BOV's.
Thank's go out to:
Josh@ Kentucky Turbo for the turbo kit build.
Jose at Forced Induction's for the turbo and all the other part's needed!
LWA for the Motor Build!
APF for the motor swap!

 

Nice cant wait to see the progress. Your camaro is what i want my car to be in a few years when you had the 6 speed.

 

did you ever fix your camaro? new build sounds like a killer good luck

 

Sounds insane there guy! I can't imagine that thing when you are done. Maybe name it "Death Wish"! Damn I am not even sure I want to take my car past its gate boost levels. Staying on the road is already challenging. Course shoudn't be driving it this time of year up here but just can't seem to put it away. So addicting these turbo cars are.

Good luck with the build. Was going to go 427 but now thing my 408 is enough for me.
Maybe I am getting old..no wait already am old..50 to be exact and amazed I got to be this old!

 

It is nice to see you are taking it in more of a street friendly driver. No more glide, AC, PS, etc...

 

good luck man,should be a bad bitch

 

Good luck buddy. When will we see pictures of this beast?

 

As much as I enjoy racing at the track, I really enjoy just being able to hop in the car and go drive were ever. I will have the th400 for track duty just to satisfy my track need's as well.

 

I get the block on thursday, and Josh should have the turbo and parts by the middle of next week. I would say by the middle of next week you should have pics.

 

Damn, that's still gonna be a "streetable" racecar, lol. That thing is gonna RUUUNNNN!!!

 

If he keeps it under 50% throttle maybe less..!
So what clutch.. spec twin or tex twin or triple..what six speed? I would have stayed auto but standards are fun of course.

 

Sounds plain sick! Cant wait for pics

 

Originally, the car was a 6 speed. Then, it went to a glide, and now it's going back to being a 6 speed car. If you want to think of it in a weird circular way he's really just staying with the 6 speed. haha

 

this is a different car. This is a trans am not a camaro.

 

Good luck gonna be mean as hell

BIKE KILLER.

 

Why going for only 1200-1300rwhp? J/K



It's going to be a bad bitch indeed. I want to see this car at TX2k9 next year giving the big hp Supras a run.

 

Call Jose tomm.....he wants to talk to you. The EZ94X (aka GT55-94) on Brett's Orsca EZ street car first weekend down the track went 5.03@145mph!!!!!!!!! That is with a 360ci and blow thru carb!!!! That turbo is sick...imagine with some tuning time! Turbo should run some low 4.9's@147-150 probably......

 

i already told him

 

I completely missed that part.

 

Ahh cool deal. That car is going to be sick.....
