92 Firebird Supercharged LS1 swap

Lets see if there's any interest in the old girl. For me, the fun is in the building and she's all but done

92 Firebird base
Started life as a L03/4L60, now has an 03 LM7 (20,000 miles est) and 98 4L60E (80,000 miles est). Swap has approx 11,000 miles on it. ODO shows 306,000, only thing that high is the chassis itself. Every bolt on this car has been turned atleast once by me. It's as rebuilt as they come

Swap was done last winter, had a few hiccups but she's ever reliable now. Got bored with the NA setup and mounted one of my M90's on it for that extra kick. It really screams

Engine:
03 LM7 long block
C5 LS1 cam swap
Mildly ported heads
Fresh top end gaskets
New LS2 coils

Exhaust:
Mandrel 2.5 Y-pipe
No cats
3" mandrel intermediate pipe
3" LM1, slash cut just under bumper (hidden)

Control system:
0411 LSx PCM, dyno tuned
Hidden harness, stock mounted PCM location
Stock hookups, functional ALDL, functional gauges, everything works, no rats nest
85mm MAF

Power Adder:
Eaton M90 S/C, rebuilt with about 600miles on it. Custom mount/ducting setup
31x12x3 FMIC
3" mandrel ducting from SC
4" mandrel intake
Full silicone couplers and matching T-bolt clamps
Billet bypass valve with 3 springs

Fuel system:
Walbro 255 intank
Full AN6 braided SS lines tank to rails
C5 regulator/filter combo
Billet Fuel rails
New Ford redtop 36lb injectors

Suspension/Chassis:
Spohn tubular K-memeber
Spohn LSx swap mounts
Custom trans crossmember
Full energy susp bushings all around
Poly motor mounts
WS6 springs
WS6 sway bars
Billet 2" wheels spacers (no issues)
OEM (no knockoffs) Y2Ks, 17/18's. 90% up front, about 60% left in the rear

Interior:
2000 TA beige power leather seats (matches the 92 doe skin interior)
1Aauto black carpet
2000 Z28 monsoon CD player

New parts (new at swap or since):
Oil pump
Alt
PS pump
Fuel pump
Injectors
Motor mounts


The bad stuff:
Commuting to college has taken it's toll on the paint job. It needs a new one. If no one grabs the car up, I may end up doing this over the winter. Headliner is turning brown from age and generally looks awful. Some lady dented my pass door pretty good, so it's currently rocking the door off my GTA. Its a POS with rust bubbles and glitter in the paint, but from a distance it looks the same. I have a mint door to go with the car, problem is it's white. All would be peachy with a paintjob

Extras:
Both cupholders are present
Hatch pull down and release both work
Glass t-tops dont leak unless you go through a pressure washer car wash
Extra pass door
Tinted tails
Digital cruise control
20-23mpg depending on how much you hotfoot it. 27+ N/A
Headlight motors work flawlessly (rebuilt 2 years ago)
Braided AN6 SS trans lines with all fittings (got tired of the stock lines leaking)

Chassis has ABSOLUTELY NO RUST ANYWHERE. Repeat, no rust anywhere (pics below)

Overall, its a fun little car. Quicker than most, but nothing excessive. Loads of torque, very reliable. Pretty darn loud too. Asking $7,800 or reasonable offer. The more stuff I fix/upgrade, the higher that will go. I dont have to sell it, so dont insult me. I may consider selling the drivetrain as a complete dropout. Engine, trans, exhaust, fuel, wiring, PCM, S/C, etc
Partial trades considered for 91-92 birds, V6/V8/TBI/TPI/roller, anything with a good chassis and a clear title. Might even go for a 99-02 TA

Re: 92 Firebird Supercharged LS1 swap

Did you ever dyno it before or after the m90 swap.
Really wonder what kind of time that supercharger has trying to keep up airflow at hi rpms in that car.

Re: 92 Firebird Supercharged LS1 swap

273/320 to the wheels. Auto eats alot of that up, should be around 340hp at the crank

5psi down low, 1psi up top. It's not too small per-say, but it's not huge either

Re: 92 Firebird Supercharged LS1 swap

Got any more pics of how you ran the intake tubing? I've read putting a M62 or M90 is possible on V6 cars, and I thought I'd give it a try.
