S475 346ci Turbo Bird

So I guess technically this is my third build thread I've put up on Tech here and this one is a little different.

My first turbo build from when I started six years ago was KYTP kit that i had built since I didn't have much fabrication knowledge or skills. Lets just say I didn't get completely what I paid for and for anybody who was around and knows what went down around then with Kentucky Turbo knows that.

So now six years later on a combo that was never finished and frankly isn't up to par with me was sold. I sold everything off the car (turbo kit wise) to start over fresh. I was originally going to put it back to bolt-ons and sell the car and then later decided since I know what I know now I'm just going to build my own kit.

So here is the start of it.

Forged LS1 (Compstar Rods, Wiseco Pistons)
Stock T56 with RPS twin carbon clutch (No bitch box)
FAST LSX 92mm Intake & Rails
ID1000 Injectors
Squash Performance dual in tanks
Borg S475 T6
Precision 46mm gate
Tial 50mm BOV

Everything else on the kit is custom.

Amazing workmanship! Keep us updated please!!!

Showoff on the fab work! Just kiddin'! Beautiful job. Keep it up. Very very nice.

Great job on everything, but damn those headers look good!

Awesome fabrication, sir. All of this is looking really good.

My predictions: one more split LS1 block, as soon as that S475 starts to sing.

For sure!
And good job keeping your head up and moving forward with it in spectacular fashion.

F#ck Kentucky turbo..........let's keep this thread positive....your fab work is great!

Nice work-where do you get those orange mock up pipes, their cool

Thanks for the complements guys its been a long time coming. Just got my new water pump since the one that's been sitting on car is all crusty on the inside. I figured for as cheap as they are I'll just throw a new one on there.

The header build kit comes from a company called Icengineworks.

The tight radius 4" mandrel bends showed up Friday for the down pipe.

WOW this is nice, and definately custom!! Awesome work!

So haven't gotten much done this week. I've been a little down on motivation this week for whatever reason. Finished up the driver side header welding and then started to fit the downpipe. I also took a break from fab and upgraded all the interior bulbs to LED.

Just throwing this in here. It's not for my car. It's a small Water/ice tank for an ZR1 blower swapped c6.
