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.
Car:
BMR turbo k-member
BMR Upper and Lower control arms
Manual rack and pinion
SJM abs delete kit
Tick Performance Battery relocate w/ BMR mount
A/C delete
Qa1 shocks front and rear
Spoon adj. torque arm
Spoon dbl adj. PHB
Center line Telstars
VFN Sunnoco hood
SS Wing
Billet front grill
Weld in sub frame connectors
Cooling:
Griffin stand up radiator
Two Derale 16925 pusher fans
still have factory WP thinking of going to meziere electric
Kurt Urban LS Water Vapor System
Motor:
Stock 2006 LM7 with 80k mi
Brian tooley .660" Platinum Spring Kit with Titanium Retainers
ISKY 218 cam
melling High volume oil pump
melling stock replacement lifters
chromoly pushrods
ls2 chain
Head studs
Ls9 gaskets
Ls6 intake and TB
Trans and Rear end:
Th-400 RMVB with brake, built but don't know whats inside, has been 9.teens already
3200 torque converter from a old setup will be using for now
B&M Super cooler
Moser 12 bolt 33 spline axles with spool, still has 4.11 gear need to change
Turbo kit: Only thing needed to be built still
Forced Inductions S480 Billet HO turbo 96mm turbine, Thanks again JOSE
Two JGS 40MM Wastegates
JGS 50mm blow off valve
Front mount intercooler 31x12x4
Fuel System:
Stock tank
Two x Walbro F90000267- Fuel Pump 430LPH, E85
one pump on a hobbs switch
-10 PTFE lined feed
Stock feed as return
Holley fuel rails
Still need injectors and a regulator was going to go ID1000 but seem like the reviews on E85 are not that good. Maybe the new ID1300 but at 1800.00 for a set
What is the part number for the siemens deka 127??? i have read about. They seem to do well on E85 and should have this motor covered as far as flow.
Will add more pictures later when i pull it out of the garage and clean the dust layer off
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

Past week i have been working on a lot to finish the car. I installed an abs delete kit and some new rear suspension parts. Got the trunion done to the rockers and installed the BTR valve springs on the heads.Got the motor built today and will be put in on Saturday. I did change from the LS6 cam to an Isky cam from stock48. Will get pictures of the car this weekend when i put the motor and trans in. Also got in my AMS1000.

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.
