Project "Boosted Trans Am", although will eventually happen, is being placed on hold right now. I'm grudgingly letting go of both turbo chargers as a promise to my wife (those of you who are married, understand completely lol). Honestly wanted to offer them to one of my F-Body bretheren more than anyone else. So if anyone is interested, just reach out to me....

So you got a Z06? I understand now. GL with the sale.

 

^ Biggest mistake I ever made bro lol! Damn thing will be sitting in the garage the whole entire Winter, and I'm hoping to break even next Spring when I try to get rid of it. It was just one of those things, where I was in the wrong place, at the wrong time, next thing I know, I'm driving the freaking thing home lol...

The '92 3.1 Firebird isn't going anywhere though, just selling off the parts that I had gotten for it for now; the turbo's, the Ram Air I Hood, and a few other things....

 

I wish you didn't live so far. What are you asking for the hood?

 

I'm going to have the post for it up very soon. The hood itself has since been primered Black and is waiting for paint. The inserts/nostrils themselves have yet to even be installed. Bought the hood from Hawks, and I wasn't too happy with their delivery (search for my complaint), but overall the hood is very very good, and very very strong. I paid $450.00 w/out shipping, but my asking price won't even be near that, so don't worry if your interested....

Here's a pic from when I first got it....;

 

Well, talk to me man!

No need to post it if the price is right.

Maybe work out a trade for some turbo headers for your T/A?

 

I take it those turbos are from ebay, possibly SS Autochrome or thier later incarnations?

 

Are you being sarcastic here lol j/k.....?

They weren't from SS Autochrome, but I honestly don't remember the party's name. Dave had given me the gentleman's information, as I needed it to confirm the turbos' internal specs, but it wasn't SS though. These were in fact purchased by me on ebay, especially for the price I paid for them. Had they been genuine Garrett turbo casing's, I would have probably paid more than double of what I actually paid....

Cool man, if you want it it's yours. Lemme get home from work first, as I'm trying to sneek a post here and there without my co-workers seeing....

 

No sarcasim intended. I'm asking a valid question whihc will determine whether I make you an offer or not.

If you can give up any more information on these turbos I'd appreciate it. Did you take them apart and measure teh wheels, housing etc? I know the chinese turbo I had in hand one time was not any where close to any Garrett measurments, and so I couldn't even swap in better components if I had wanted to. I had a "matching" Turbonetics turbo that I used for some comparisons, and nothing was interchangable. This is why I am rather leary of buying cheap turbos.

 

^ I know bro, I was only teasing you....

We took one of them apart at the track when I first obtained it, and had it measured by a party to confirm it's wheel measurements. The intake side was somewhat smaller than advertised, but I was told by the vendor that it was a "T-66" measurement in reference to the exhaust side, not intake. The intake impeller was measured, and it came in a little smaller than I'd hoped, which is the reason why I bought another, identicle one, to that of it. Although the impeller was smaller than advertised, it was in fact offered through Garrett though nonetheless. That was already confirmed by another source who offers Garrett turbo's. When I get home from work, I can have my cousin measure it again, and can even take a picture of the impeller w/the measuring tool with it....

 

That would be appreciated.
