Fell off the grid for a while...but I'm back in business

Partially TIG welded in a bracket to mount the driver side turbo, and started the pipe to connect the header to the turbo. Will be putting in a flex connecter at the open joint.

 

Thought you must be back at it... saw you post on the SC thread on TGO

 

Nice Brian! Glad to see you back at it man!

 

fabbed a second bracket and mounted the other turbo, now the fun job of fabbing the other header. Should be easier than the driver side one was LOL I'll be clocking both turbos downward but need to cut a hole in the battery trays for compressor outlet to clear.

 

are you still using the old 427 motor?

 

Thats the plan...its at Shawn's new shop.

 

Good to see you're back at it... sometimes we all need to step away for a while, but then it pulls us back in.

I look forward to the build.

 

What header kit is that?

 

Is this dead?

 

Don't know. Maybe just on hold. Sh*t happens. Its been 5 years this month since I ordered my cam. Just now got mine running.
I pass by his house once in a while. Haven't seen the car out anywhere..

 

Thats how I see it nowadays. None of it is ****, its all how you decide to see it and move forward from there. Probably busy as hell, these builds take a ton of time and effort. Hope all is well

 

I'm still out there...

Sorry for the hiatus...the wife and I ended up inheriting a 'project car' from her family. For sentimental reasons, we jumped into that project and put the third gen on hold. Did a frame up restoration on it in just under 1 year. It's a neat car but the complete opposite of the Camaro

We finished the model A last spring then I got the go-ahead to build a BIG garage. 48x44 main area with a 12x44 storage area. Fully insulated and heated. Still finishing up the garage then hopefully will start tinkering on the Camaro again later this year. Going to be nice working in a shop with a lift and enough room to spread out

Busy as hell, and doing great by the look of things! Congrats on all fronts dude

 

Ugh I need that shop!

 

Started tinkering again...

Got it in the new garage and on the lift



Decided to go motor/mid plates instead of motor mounts. Discovered the old motor plates I used on the 4th gen are nearly a perfect fit...only needed to clearance around the steering box. Also clearanced for the speedway accessory bracket. the 1/4" plate won't cause any issues now...just need to shave 1/4" from behind the tensioner



Also decided to add a horse to the stable 2015 SS (2SS/RS) M6

 

More progress! I spent all weekend making the passenger header that has only taken me years to get to LOL.

Need to order some 3" bends for the downpipes and figure out what wastegates I want to run.

 

Good to see you back at it! Are you going to run AC on that thing?

 

Will the accessory bracket need to be shaved down also or does it not bolt against the motor plate?

 

bolts to head...I clearanced the plate in that area

 

I'd love to, but there are many challenges to make it all work.
