Damn that's a good looking car,, more details please

 

+1^^^

 

Very excited to see the outcome of the car.
Glad your racecar found a good home.

Saw this car in GMHTP a WHILE ago.
Nasty.

 

F.I.T.T

Fireball Industries Twin Turbo

This made me lol! For the love of god please please put that on the license plate

 

I'm hoping to be dragging it out of its current resting place in the next few weeks. I'll probably be putting the rear suspension back together on it in the at the end of this month then getting it rollbacked to my house to start teardown (had good LCAs and PHR when I last drove it 15yrs ago but sold those suspension components). I did give it a quick once over and the body still looks in decent shape....some minor rust just ahead of the rear passenger wheelwell (about 2" in diameter). Whats odd is that it doesn't appear to have worsened in the last 15 years... Driver door looks rusted bad on the bottom due to seriously rotted weather stripping I presume (rotted from inside out). Hard to say what else I'll find since its impossible to see under the car in its current location.

I figure if Frank (Boosted One) can turn that rustbucket of a Chevy II into a gem....I can definately work with this LOL

I'm ashamed to show this, but when I said buried...I meant it (tires look funny since there's no PHR on the car and the rear is seriously offset as a result)

 

Someone say Pro-Flo?


The Turbo LSx Turdgen pool is getting crowded, LOL

 

Looks good.... I kept to the tried and true SBC for my twin setup car

 

ProFlo will NOT fit under the factory hood. I have tried.

You don't need to minitub a 3rd gen to tuck a 15x10 wheel.

15x10 with a 6.5" backspace is what you will need with a stock width rear end:

Here is my 15x10.275 tucked under


Good luck trying to keep that torque arm crossmember from scraping anything higher than 3". Just be careful on the street.

 

Hmmm...I'll figure something out with tbe intake...maybe a.small cowl hood...

 

Sounds like another race car already. Mine as well 25.3 the thing now and be done with it.

 

Hmmm...this is owned by a new guy now, but I got my (cough cough, blown) turbo and a lot of piping from the old owner of this car. Bad *** ride, and funny as hell that I bought the turbo from him and THEN found out his car was the same damn color as mine.

And fireball, looks like a pretty nasty build!

 

Nope....10-pt cage...don't want a funnycar setup in a street car...just not safe unless you are wearing all the appropriate safety gear LOL.

That's my build thread, might help you along your way.

 

should be picking up all the rear suspension components and turbos in two weeks. Almost finished with my pool renovation, so I can get rolling on this project pretty soon. Pretty much figured out the suspension on the car...just need to get the parts on order (will do once I get the car home)

Front:
BMR LS1 conversion K-member
BMR A-Arms
QA1 double adjustable coil over struts

Need to figure out what to do with brakes still...

Plan is to have it done by this time next year...should be a whirwind

 

I think this Rick's custom aluminum tank with Twin Aeromotive 1000 pumps would look killer in that 3rd gen

 

not when you're running a belt drive fuel pump

sumped OEM tank FTW

 

Well....if you only need one pump....

 

http://aeromotiveinc.com/products-pa...ive-fuel-pump/

supports 3600 on gas and 1800 on methonal, E85 falls somewhere between...I should be alright

 

Pessssh, I'd use a 100,000 mile walbro.

 

That thing is gonna be a beast! I'd say the thirdgen boost pool is getting crowded! I'm already swimming it too!
