Joey is an outstanding turbo fabricator and turbo tuner. Inventive would be a good word for him also.

He has put together some really sick 4 cycle cars - one of the shop cars puts down 623fwhp and other is expected to put down more at 700+. He also has a 92 (maybe 93, 94) Mustang doing 600+rwhp on a S/C. And there is my son's car - only about 450rwhp in a 93 MR2 (4 cycle) but has it running 10.9 at 130+. He makes his own inter-coolers. Air-to-air and Air-to-water. He has his own dyno, all of his projects are max dyno tuned before they go back to the customer.

He's not to bad on the "stock" LS1 either. See what he did to my car (see signature) . He has mine under the knife yet again.

The 67 is going to be a kick-*** car. Any guesses what he will pull for HP - By the way start at aleast 1000+rwhp and go up .

Thanks again Joey for all your help.

David

Really cool stuff!! Keep the pics coming. Also, please post results with that gt47/88. I was thinking about running one of those next year or something.

I remember when they first came out, people said the turbine was too heavy? I dunno, just curious how it runs.

The plumbing on that old car looks awesome

Your LS1 project sound familiar, at least as far as the parts list goes. I love the plumbing on the first-gen as well. Keep us posted please.

Joey doesn't get on the site every day due to the shop's work load. But I can answer this question. It is going to be his only radiator. The inter-cooler will be an air-to-water set up with the piping through the fire wall were the heater/ac box was. The "ice" box will be in the back well. He fabricates his own intercoolers. If you could see it in person it would be even more impressive. Can't wait to see the finished product.

Fryguy. Can't answer if the GT 47/88 will be to heavy. It will be well braced.

We are trying to get Joey to finish his project this by October. Maybe in time for Thunder. Oh by the way, this will be 100% street legal.

Our other car, Navy davidss,s car runs one smaller than mine, and with out the fan running it will climb from 160 at the start of the run to 180 by the end, then turn the fan on and its back down to 170 very quickly, and mine is larger and alittle thicker.

What rad core are you running along with the core supports? If you have some more pics of that portion of your setup, I'd appreciate it. Thanks. Keep us up to speed
