Default My 2000 Camaro Z28 turbo build 5.3 FI Billet S480

I bought the car when i was in high school and it was a stock with a 6 speed. It started with heads and cam and wanted more. Put a dry kit on it and changed over to a stalled auto. Few years later the motor went and i decided to build a turbo car. I have been collecting parts for a while and finally am starting the build process. Need to get a lot more pictures.

I have all the parts except for the injectors, Fuel pressure regulator, and the turbo kit needs to be built. I got the motor home this weekend and started assembly. Hopefully i can get the car drivetrain in within the next few weeks so i can drop it off some were depending on work . I Have talked to Steve @ Legend Racing about doing the fabrication a while ago, depending on his schedule probably will go there. Clean work as far as the builds i have seen and looks to have a good handle on ls cars.

Thanks for reading Mike

I have installed the SJM abs delete kit along with new front brake lines on the k-member. Finished the brake lines and also removed the old fuel lines. Also finished mounting the intercooler and radiator. Got the motor and trans bolted together and in the car today. Hooked up the water pump and alternator. I dropped off the deposit for the fabricator last week, and the car leaves in the next few days. It will be a few weeks but the complete kit will be done.

Car was dropped off at the fabricator last week. Should have some turbo kit pictures soon . Also the water pump and radiator and going to be converted to -16 an fittings and lines to clean up the engine bay and should be easier to route.
