Re: 91 Z 6.0 turbo project finally finished
absoutely beautiful, very clean.
thats very similar to how i mounted my tc-78 in my 91. that was on a gen 1 355 tho, now i am starting an LQ4 build myself.

Re: 91 Z 6.0 turbo project finally finished
Dont go LS-7, get a 6.0 truck block and get an eagle forged assembly and RHS or trick-flow heads. Mine is 425 ci and makes just as much power as the LS-7 (Only cost me around $14,000 too!)
82z28man; Just beautiful!! Gotta love a black thirdgen, especially when it's as clean as yours!

Re: 91 Z 6.0 turbo project finally finished
Not yet but very soon, i've only got the wastegate set to about 6 lbs right now and it pulls very hard, i plan to make about 10 so i cant wait to see how it feels then.
Its an 01 PCM that I tune with HP tuners.

That is one heck of a wolf in third gen clothing. Have fun smearing the track with mustangs and 4th gen's.

Re: 91 Z 6.0 turbo project finally finished
Which manifolds did you use? I have some truck manifolds but I don't believe they will work on the 3rd gen. Do you have a build thread? I am doing a 89RS as we speak.

Re: 91 Z 6.0 turbo project finally finished
Good timing because i just put it on the dyno yesterday. A little dissapointed in the hp, 512 hp and 573tq at the wheels. I need to add some timing on the top end and the hp should get up there, i just didnt have time to change it and log it to make sure there was no knock. heres a video of the run.

Re: 91 Z 6.0 turbo project finally finished
Its a ck performance level 2 with a trans brake. Still completely controlled by the pcm. The converter is a precision 3200 with a 3 disk lock up.
very well done indeed

Re: 91 Z 6.0 turbo project finally finished
Awsome setup! I saw pics of the manifolds on your ls1tech thread. What kind of manifolds are they, is the passenger side custom or is it sold somewhere? Do you have a video anywhere online? I followed the myspace link but there is no longer a video posted. I would love to hear it with the 4" magnaflow, I have the same exhaust on my NA 383 and I'm looking to go turbo LS.
Thanks
Thanks
