At first i thought someone else was poking fun, lol

Anyways, where is the turbo? even if the turbo is off for "repairs" we should still be able to see other things for it.

Maybe a shot of the car with the hood up,(fromlike 5 feet away) i mean heck, that could be my L98(oh wait, i have a v6 also)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but is that not a camaro? I was under the impression that a dual snorkel wouldn't fit under the hood of bird .

another reason, more detailed reason that some of you won't notice is the fender crunches on the inside of the bay... on firebirds/tas the fendercrunches have a different pattern... that there is a camaro fendercrunch bay...

only way i'd be convinced that's his engine is if he takes one from farther away to include his car...

ever notice that the size/quality of the regular pics he takes of his car everyday are much different from the size/quality of this pic? ahahahahah this guy is jokes... he gets an A for effort though, u guess what the A stands for

I assumed thats why his pics were taking so long to get 'developed' is because he was looking for pictures of someone elses engine compartment that he could use and try to pass off as his own. Even then, it still doesn't dismiss the fact that there is nothing in the engine compartment that even hints at a turbo being there. Like said, even if it was off for 'repairs' you should still be able to see some ducting or something of the sort. Like easy said, he gets an A for effort.

LOL.

Like you guys said, thats a Camaro engine bay. I sure don't see a turbo either, the thing still has the stock cast iron manifolds on it

And that engine looks awfully dirty for a "recent" V6 to V8 swap.

:sillylol: this is just plain redicilous :sillylol:
You can also note that his paint is gray/silver while the v8's is black. Still no real evidence :nono: Plus if it was his engine bay where'd all the stickers go??? I know he likes stickers, its bad when you have more sticker pics than car pics.
Eh, might as well.
YO YO YO yalls I gotz me a twin turboed v6 baby putan 434 hp to da ground. I had to polish everything to keep the temps down and the shine reflects heat away from the motor. You cant see it in this pic but in about a year i'll take a better shot, both of em are behind the accessories and I've hidden all ducting.

:sillylol: I just had to do that

I know a company locally that is developing a kit for LT1 Camaro for that setup. Its quite odd really. But they have numbers saying it makes power.. so hey.. whatever floats your boat

this whole thread jsut goes to show, that its very hard to fool car freaks. If you dont really have what you claim to have.. best to stop diggin the hole and just fes up.
