Nice build! Do you think you could have fit a/c in with this setup?

shawnc16

Thanks! Yeah I would imagine so with the fender exit exhaust. There's plenty of room.

shawnc16

Well I guess nobody here likes Turbo LS swaps

Rubbercity_Iroc

I do but it's hard to find one similar to what I'm trying. I want to keep my a/c and put the exhaust out the back and not the fender because mine is a street car.

shawnc16

Mine is also a street car. I can and will put the 4" out the back once I install my K member. Anything can be done!

Rubbercity_Iroc

Are u putting the a/c back? I'm sure anything can be done. But getting a 4" pipe passed the a/c is going to be a task. It will get done on my end one way or another tho.

Rubbercity_Iroc

I hope everyone isn't replying because they are watching this cavs game!

shawnc16

No I'm not. A twin setup would be a lot easier with A/C. Smaller turbos and smaller pipes.

Rubbercity_Iroc

That's one thought that I've contenplated. Twin 366's

shawnc16

Twin 366's is like a 1500whp setup

Rubbercity_Iroc

Don't really need that much but the prices really didn't look to be much cheaper going even smaller. 750 rwhp is plenty for me.

Rubbercity_Iroc

How much hp is your setup?

Rubbercity_Iroc

Rollbars ,slicks and a trans brake on a street car? Looks like a street legal track car.

I saw your post..you deleted it though. People are into boring LT1 swaps. Lol.

Love the work you've done on your 3rd gen!



EDIT: Nevermind.. I just found your post.. its #153. Oh well, my reply above is a reply to #153.

shawnc16

Haha seems to be the way it is around here! I better LT1 swap mine now...

No idea what kind of power it makes.. Its on about 12 psi right now. I took off the boost controller to figure out the new suspension and transbrake launches. It feels pretty damn good.

Rubbercity_Iroc

I guess it's like money if you know exactly how much u got u don't have enough lol

shawnc16

Well, I have an idea about where its at but, I'd rather see the times I want out of it. Dyno numbers don't mean much to me

shawnc16

I've been working on fixing a few issues. First off, throwing belts! I switched out the tensioner pulley for a supercharged buick pulley, FIXED that issue.

I need to get the car aligned but its damn near impossible to get anyone to do it around here. That's an ongoing/pending issue.

I'm a total moron and was doing too many things at once, I forgot to install my hoodpins. As you can imagine what happened next... My bolt on hood doesn't bolt on anymore. Luckily, no major damage reported to the top of it, I think I can convert it to a pin on temporarily. No pics!

Lastly, kinda stupid. I got the trans back from a rebuild and I have no park. The pawl in the trans is not engaging. I believe the pan can be dropped to fix that.

No major issues, I'd like to hit the track Saturday. We'll see how it goes and I'll update with a 9 sec. pass if I do. Ha!

shawnc16

10 lbs. of boost and working on the suspension all day. Best pass of the day.

BDR

You got yourself a 9sec ride with that mph...with ONLY 10# boost!

shawnc16

If I can get it to hook! Headed to a better track this Saturday

BDR

Whats bad *** is 10#. That's it. I haven't looked at your engine specs yet..but that's what's impressive to me.

shawnc16

Yeah it's making good power now. It's just a cam only 6.0 $250 short block I pulled outta the junk yard

BDR

Damn..I paid 2.5k for mine with 75k miles on it then had it rebuilt. Your setup is awesome bang for the buck.

shawnc16

Ouch! I paid $150 for the heads. I spent a ton on valvetrain and head studs but that's about it. Its by far the cheapest thing I've got going on for the entire drivetrain.

I'll turn it up but I want to iron out the suspension to get my 60' down first. Hopefully progress gets made this weekend.

Rubbercity_Iroc

Awesome times for a car u still haven't turned up or worked the kinks out. Congratulations man!!

shawnc16

Thanks. I've been chucking serp belts every single pass. It's driving me nuts. After that issue is resolved I'll turn it up and let it eat. Best 60' so far was a 1.45' at a better track. I'd love to see a 1.3x

Movin out real good! Looks like the suspension seems to be working well!

What was the ET/MPH

shawnc16

Same MPH (same boost) The better 60' netted me a 9.84 ET finally.

Congrats on the run. That's awesome on a junkyard cam 6.0. I'm hoping one day to put 10-15lbs with my 6.0 and D1SC.

shawnc16

Thanks, it feels slow now.. I just put the boost controller back on. Hitting the track today!

very cool build! looking around for a third gen to do something similar, but with a T56. wondering how tough it is to swap in a t56 into an auto car?

shawnc16

Not too tough. You're on the right website to figure it out.
