Default My Precision 76mm turbo build

Not too long ago I picked up a 97 Camaro and basically re stored it and turning it into a fun daily driver/track car. The real motor that is being built is a Alum. 402 with CNC heads and 9:1 compression. For now I am going to run this 347 with ported heads, cam, and 10:3 compression.

I have fabbed many turbo kits but for time constraints decided to work off the Ebay hot side kit. I was very hesitant but after seeing the stainless and the welds I am impressed. I did have to open up the flange holes on the header a bit and will be running the wastegate to atmosphere along with a 4" downpipe.











Some pics of the bolt in cage, currently out of the car getting powder coated the color of the car.












Some suspension shots..






Fuel system



Heres how I picked the car up lol


I will only have turbo pics for now on

I agree, when that motor goes in we will see what the 76 does, I have a 81mm here on the shelf if we need it.

Thanks man

Well the inside looks like a car again, other then the wire nest out of the cluster lol




Decided to mount the coils down in the fender (car will never be driven in the rain).





Put some stuff on so wires wont burn up.


Put the oil drain on.
