Update 10.3@138. Huron speed official storage shed build!
Well I sold the procharged c5 z06 because I was really wanting a boosted automatic car! I bought the car without a tranny and installed a lvl 6 rpm 4l60e with a 3400 triple disc circle d stall converter.
2000 SS
First thing I installed was the fans. I cut the stock fans and kept one of the stock fans on the bottom right. I tried keeping both stock fanss, but couldn't make them both fit. I wired a derale on the top left to an on/off switch. To help keep cool I put in a 160* T-stat aswell.
After that I removed all the old a/c stuff and remounted my alternator to the top passenger side. I used a 72-5/8" belt and it fits pretty tight. Also wrapped my truck manifolds and mounted them.
Next I wrapped the crossover and tried installing it. To install the passenger side exhaust manifold and the crossover I had to cut a spot out of the k-member. Now it fits nicely.
On the drivers side you have to carefully bend the lines out of the way of the exhaust. Hopefully this is enough room so they power steering lines don't get to hot??
Next I removed the bumper, foam, and front bumper support and installed my intercooler and brackets!
Now I'm just waiting on parts to come in. Should be getting the Turbo, Wastegate, bov, and oil lines sometime next week and I can get this thing finished up! I know it's not the prettiest install, but hopefully it will run good. Please add in with any suggestion you think could make this build better.
Update 9/13/14
Well got the turbo in!
Had a bung welded on for my wideband. They didn't drill to the size of the bung so I had to go in with a drill and clean it up until my sensor would go in.
I bought this fitting for my oil feed off ebay cheap
Mounted turbo and got the oil feed and drain hooked up. (drain took me FOREVER)
Wastegate installed and hooked up vacuum from wastegate to turbo. Top port vents to atmospher?
Installed air filter. Drilled a hole in the end and put a 3/8 90* plastic fitting for pcv vacuum.
For the pcm system I just left the stock plastic piece that connects the rear valve cover ports to the intake manifold. Instead of getting vacuum from the manifold I ran the line to the filter on turbo in picture above. Other than that I just have a breather where the oil cap was and a breather on the other valve cover port
Hooked up all intercooler piping and bov.
Drill and put gromet in top intercooler piping for IAT sensor
I couldn't make the stock oil dipstick work so I got a lokar. Went in easy and fits great.
Got the bumper on.
Got the front slp grill to make it look a little cleaner. Just need to get a bowtie emblem somehwere.
EDIT: After 2 years with the exhaust just blowing on the bottom of the car I put a down pipe on. I would recommend this if you don't want th bottom side of the car to get covered in exhaust....
Anything else I'm missing? I hooked up my 02 sensors in my hotside, hooked up the wideband and gauges and have all the vacuum lines ran. I'll try to get a few more pics tonight. Just need to get a tune on it now!
are you doing all this work out of a storage unit?
Yes! Not the funnest place to do it trust me! Also put the procharger kit on vette in this storage shed. Oil field is crazy over here so to expensive to buy a real place to work.

Didn't even notice this at first. Do you at least have electricity? Nice turbo choice
What is done to the motor?
Is this a full weight car?
I would think it would weigh around the stock weight. Added all the turbo stuff, but removed a/c and all exhaust. And also has the race star drag setup. Nothing done to the motor except arp rod bolts and an ls6 intake mani.
