My dad's Spohn pedestals mounted in the same holes that the original mounts were bolted to...?

 

I dont know what happened but i already gave up on it. My car is low as **** anyway.

Also the damn driver side motor mount is being a PITA to install.

 

Just about finished getting the motor 100% bolted in... and the bottom drops out of the sky. Now its sunny again... Thanks for the shower mother nature.

 

lol, she loves to **** on you when you are out workin.

 

Gettin there! Hard to believe how well the Turbo fits in that little pocket.
Coated hot parts look good. First time i unwrapped them and i got them done almost 6 months ago.

MMMMMM

 

Ugh Jealous. I have tried a 4th gen flipped manifold front mount kit, no worky, now I have a 4th gen STS kit to try, dont wanna rear mount. I JUST WANT A FRONT MOUNT KIT!!!!!!!


Car looks bad *** man. Is that Boost Box's turbo LS1 GN?????

 

Yes it is Boost Box's GN. He is my best friend and i was the one who "incouraged" him to do the swap, lol.

I had a STS kit on the IROC before this. It was cool at first but they just have so many problems. I'm really considering selling reproductions of my kit. If the interst was there i would.

 

PM me a price if you wanna start now! lol

Do you by chance know if Boost Box's wheels would fit on our cars? I love the black mesh look so much!

 

Yes they would. There the same XXR brand as the grey 18: wheels that are on my car.

 

AAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWW YYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH




Dont mind the Rats nest on top of the Motor. Trying to Re-Loom everything. Its a PITA.

 

I hear ya on re-looming. It's worth it though. Just makes it look like you went that extra step and took your time.

 

Back on 4 wheels for the first time in 6 months!

 

Looking good man! You should paint your hubs black to match!

 

I have the caps to match it.

 

I am developing a gradually increasing dislike for all of you people with finished/running cars! jk

 

Been a little busy. Few odds and ends. Still got to weld up the aluminum more so there aren't that many couplers.

 

That's badass!

 

It runs!!!!

 

What are you doing for heater hoses to the heater core?

Videos???????

Oh and when are you going to buy my dad's IROC-Z so you can do another turbo build

 

If you don't mind me asking, how much did the body shop charge you to spray just the engine bay? Did they also do all the prep work? Thanks...

 

Currently there is no heater hoses. It will take some 90 degree fittings, paperclip, some gum and a role of duct tape to get it to work, kidding. I'll prob figure that part out this winter.
I wish i could pick up another swapped car but i might just swap my other thirdgen.

They did most of thethe prep work and all the smoothing. It cost $400 for it all.

 

^That ain't bad at all!!

Oh and did you get a price on shipping yet? Buy my swapped car!

 

Hopefully should get some video tomorrow. best thing so far... NOTHING LEAKS! for once. Got the belt on. Gotta finish purging and bleeding everything. Dyno tune wednesday. Def will have video then. Hope to make atleast 700HP.

 

Tuned today but not on the Dyno. That should be next Tuesday. But it is driveable now!

Cleaning up. Finishing up. Windshield is in.

 

Nice valve covers engine bay looks sweet.

 

So if you decide to market your kit, What kinda money are we talking about?

 

I'm also interested in the turbo kit what parts do you plan on having for the kit or in other words what else would be needed? I have the hook up on a low mileage 4.8 but i didn't really want it because of the power output but with a turbo there would be more than plenty, get back to me and let me know. Thanks

 

I will figure some numbers for you guys. Wouldnt start till the fall. Would you guys prefer mild and coated or stainless?

 

I like cheap sir haha

 

Freaking SICK


I saw your youtube video of the car on the dyno, and I LOOOOOOOVE that sound of the turbo spooling up.

 

Thats actually the Olde setup. It sounds meaner now
Since i have some people who would like a Turbo kit made I'll get some prices for you guys.

 

Please do. I am thinking about selling off my complete exhaust system and my cam this winter to start on a turbo setup, and I really like how yours turned out.

 

looks great. Please get that turbo coated also.
black looks good on them too.

Very clean setup. Since im right down the road( a hour or less) from you maybe i will see it in person one day. Im finishing up my 5.3 swap and then i will most likely make the trip east to meet up with some of you F body guys there. I too would like to go turbo one day but i will concentrate on making it to the road first haha. Again very nice job on your car.

 

very nice build man im just getting started on a 408 stroker turbo myself

 

Following is order, Waiting on this for the final Push on the car.
PT80
Tial 60mm Wastegate
Aluminum Radiator,
S60
CCW LM5!!!!!!! Time for some real wheels so I can sell the XXR.

Me Gusta

 

I was gonna say that WG on there right now is kinda small. Are you planning to leave the WG dumped directly at the radiator like it is in your pics? Or running a tube down to exit by the k-member (I hope!)

 

A tube down to dump at the ground. The car never saw any road time with that setup so it never got finished.

 

Only waiting on a few more parts...
Couple before and after... LOL

 

Made sweet love to these last night... Me Gusta
