Re: New IROC Boost
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.

Re: New IROC Boost
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.

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

Re: New IROC Boost
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

Re: New IROC Boost
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.

Re: New IROC Boost
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.

Re: New IROC Boost

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.

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.

Re: New IROC Boost
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.
