Thanks, I got some good friends to help me out with this. Going to try and work a design for triple pumps to as I feel I migth max these out as well.

That is nice. Looks like something I would attempt to do if I had my unit outa the tank to play with.

Make it for Twin Bosh 044 and you should be fine. Figure each is rated at 600-700 hp. So it will be close in a boosted app.

PM me Info on this setup. ( An size , feed , return , etc... ) & what your looking to get outa this setup. I might be interested.

Beautiful work under that hood! Really like your choice on those wheels as well, they make your car look down right mean ... like it is.

From watching your vids I am getting addicted to the sound of turbo spool. If you decide to start fabbing the hot side, put me on your list.

Grifter757

Charge pipe refabed to make it two peices instead of 5 that go to the intercooler.


Picked this up. BMR Extreme Torque Arm


and BMR Extreme Anti-roll

wow very cool build, i just started pretty much the same thing. looks good man.

Grifter757

iTrader: (5)

making progress again on it this week, well if you call cutting the rad support out progress...

Will get carnage pics tomorrow, until then.

89fbrestor

hey work done is progress regardless of how small the work done is lol I'm trying to make my build be interesting for my thread but when you get out there only once a week ... it doesn't go that fast lol

Grifter757

iTrader: (5)

Something diffrent here....

How many cars do you have?

BlueZee28

iTrader: (30)

Won't cutting out the radiator support really loosen up the frame?

Grifter757

iTrader: (5)

Currently? 3


I don't really think so. The sway bar and wonder bar still tie the frame together and what we cut out was really flimsy stuff. We will be welding stainless steel back in though like the tube there and then reinforcing it around the bumper, then making a new cover plate to bolt in. Should be fine... I hope

LOL this build has been the last couple years so in that time I've had all those cars. I just sold my Teal camaro to Stevo on the forums so I can buy another 91 Z28. I traded the green 91 vette for that teal Z28, and traded a twin turbo Lexus gs300 for the vette. I Also just sold a 88 jeep I had a few days ago. I also just got a couple Ls1 camaro's to part out, I gotta pick those up next week. My benz is for sale as I want something diffrent. So as soon as that sells, I have a certain black Z28 to buy. LOL but yea since i was 17 I've had 15 or so thirdgens and a couple 4th gens with a few other cars mixed in...

1nasty86

iTrader: (5)

Why is this not finished yet? Get your old keister out there and finish it!

Grifter757

iTrader: (5)

LOL Old? I'm 27

But yea its at a buddies shop cause they can Tig weld and make it all pretty and well.... Because its pretty much to show the work they can and do and almost free for me, it gets pushed to the back when they get busy Soon though...

1nasty86

iTrader: (5)

Your older than me.... That makes you old!

Stevo

iTrader: (45)

Damn man lookin good...just to let you know most likely i will be starting a ls1/t56 swap on the teal Z. That or transfer some parts over to the white one. Waiting for that tax return to decide everything. Will be looking for a lead on a ls1/t56 drop out.

Grifter757

iTrader: (5)

I might have one soon as a matter of fact... LOL

Stevo

iTrader: (45)

lol well keep me informed.

looking good! looks like you have plenty of space to keep that turbo from heating things up! Having your intercooler right behind the grill completely open like that, did your intecooler ever get damaged? The guys that are working on my car right now are mounting my intercooler exactly like yours, but i am worried that i need some type of screen especially since it is a custom intercooler.

89fbrestor

wow this project is looking awesome keep up the good work. that has given me some ideas for mine with regard to the radiator and making some room.

Grifter757

iTrader: (5)

Intercooler has been on the car for about 6 years and never had a problem, now it'll be pushed about 4 inchs forward from where it was in order to make room for the new radiator placement.

At first i wasn't to sure about it but my fab guy is top notch... Now he just needs to teach me to weld.

Grifter757

iTrader: (5)

Radiator, Check!

1nasty86

iTrader: (5)

wheres your hood latch gonna go? exhaust routing looks very nice man and hope it makes enough power for ya.. i mean it'd be a shame to get outrun by a ls2'd third gen on alittle nitrous

iTrader: (4)

Looking good and nice looking car. Its nice seeing someone on here somewhat local haha Im in Mechanicsville about 15 mins from Richmond and about 1hr 45mins from Va Beach. Are you getting Va Speed to tune it? ive heard great things about those guys. keep up the good work.

Grifter757

iTrader: (5)

Hood latch? What's that? Lol. Aerocatchs will be ordered soon. My buddy has a 2000 Z28 on the gas bolt on auto car went 11.20s so I know how fast they can be. End goal would be 8s in this car but we will see
Thanks its been alot of work over the last 3 years. Lol at VA speed nobody here touches them guys now. Lots of problems as of late. But the turn er you are probably talking about that worked there for a bit was Ed Hutchings. He's actually a good buddy of mine. He works magic with any automotive computer.

iTrader: (35)

Wow man you have put a ton of work into the car. Cant wait to see it when its done. A frend of mine did the exact same thing in cuttung the rad support but yours looks amazing compared to what he did. Keep it up man

noboostnogo

iTrader: (4)

ha funny story, i almost got Va Speed to build my turbo motor but isntead i got a local performance shop to do it. Theyve done alot of forced induction and na for my buddies so i chose them. Good luck on your build it should be fun. i like the color of your car i have a 89 trans am with a similar color but a bit lighter mine has a forged 383 sbc instead of a ls but also with a precision turbo.

Grifter757

Bottom Rad and intercooler support finished up, looks real good.


MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM Intercooler flush mount now... FTW!

Maybe I missed it, Or it's a secret. What wheels are those?

EDIT Missed it, Some how i skipped page 3. Guess I should go back to school to learn how to count.

just spent the better part of an hour reading through all this..awesome build dude.. car looks great on the CCW's and Weight jacks

Prokilllsx

You are a very patient man apparently. Nice build. Love the car.

Grifter757

iTrader: (5)

CCWLM5s

Actually its spohn coil overs in the front and BMR springs in the rear.

You have no clue. Just pulled the T56 out today to get ready for the 4L80E and pulled the wiring harness out to re-loom it in the Nylon? loom like comes on new cars. To top it off relized today that the motor mounts that have been in my car for the last 6+ years made the motor sit crooked in the car. Ugh.

Prokilllsx

if it took 6 years to notice it can't be that bad can it? lol I just found a freckle on my back that has somehow eluded me for 40 years but doubt that I'll be rushing to the plastic surgeon. That's all in good humor brother. Just sayin.

Grifter757

iTrader: (5)

True but at this point and with time and money spent, it kinda pisses me off. I mean its not that hard to make sure your swap mounts make the motor sit right.

Grifter757

iTrader: (5)

Cut up my 4L80E to make it fit in the tunnel. Should drop it off in the next day or two to get it built, Now all I need is a shifter and I can get that part done. Finally feel like I'm making a little headway.

89fbrestor

do you have any pics of what you did to your trans. i have a 4l80e as well and plan on using it in my build.

thanks

Grifter757

iTrader: (5)

I will try and take some today.

Grifter757

iTrader: (5)

This.


Is finally in this.


A few changes coming to the motor setup soon. Debating on my 408 I have... Or maybe a 6 bolt per cylinder 4XX motor.... HHMMMMM
