Took some time after work to take pictures of my SS. Here you go.

very nice sir...what kit is that?

Ping King

No Kit. I built it myself using a truck manifold and stock pass manifold. The turbo is a GT4088R mounted in front of the engine. Stock K member using a special drivers side motor mount.

Even though the turbo is on the smaller side, the car is super responsive and makes decent power at 7-8 psi. I still can turn up the boost to 10-11 psi but the turbo will be out of steam at that point. I have plans to put a larger turbo in, or just compound boost this thing down the road.

For what it does, its a nice street car.

Looks stealth, I like it.

Love that colour on the 4th Gens, doesnt yell look at me, and even better when you bitch slap somebody with the Boosted LSx

The only realy giveaway with this car is the exhaust sound, which is still quiet, but deep and tons of base (3.5 inch exhaust with cam) and the jet engine sound while driving. Its really really obvious from the sound of it that this car is boosted. The smaller Gt4088R turbo is really responsive and makes boost just accelerating slowly.

I purposely made sure that there was no intercooler sticking out through the front. I like being incognito..well that and the stupid NJ front plate laws.

Some changes in the near future:

1. Recirculate the wastegate
2. Up boost and retune
3. possible horizontal FMIC intercooler (I have one on standby)
4. Rework PCV system to evac through exhaust.

what shift **** is that? Do you like it?

Ping King

iTrader: (20)

Just a standard Jeg's **** i pulled out of the catalog. Its thinner and i like how the aluminum ties in with the bezels around the gauges.

I also have a B&M ripper that i cut down and re threaded to reduce the overall height of the shifter.

Ya the spooling may give it away, but none the less, sick undercover kinda car, I like.

Any plans on getting it on the dyno? The reason I ask is I have the same turbo going on a 5.3 just curious on what Ill be looking at.

ytownls1

like the use of the so called trunk f-bodies have

Ping King

No plans for the dyno at this time. This turbo would be better suited for a 5.3 though. You'd hit a more efficient part of the compressor map.

I've had this up to 11 psi, but i wasn't monitoring the IAT's. Depending on your setup, i think you'll be happy with a quick spooling turbo this this.

I have a video with my brother in law making some funny uneasy stomach sounds in the car. This turbo makes a flat broad torque curve. I'm happy with it.

Plus..i also designed my setup to be able to be compound charged with a larger rear mount.

This might be a dumb question, but what is that box connected straight to the intake?

OP .... super, super nice car, but then again, I may be a bit biased!

I love the NBM on the 4th gens or does that say "look at me"?
