okay now that all is out of the way the new stuff! after that 10.5 race i decided i wanted to try turbo! I seen the video on the internet of the farimont that i guess has the worlds fastest stock 5.3 liter! well after that i was hooked! so i got started on a plan! I decided my goal is to try to beat that recored and if thats not the recored then at least get close to what he is running! also another goal was to do drag week just like he did! Okay so first of i went and bought a stock 5.3 with 90.000 miles for 500 dollars complete with harness and everything.

Okay so here is the plan

5.3 stock
E85
s475 with 1.10 ar
z06 cam
4 inch air to air intercooler!
dual tila 38mm wastegates
tial blow off valve ant decided which one yet! open to opinions
stock manifolds
I will build the kit my self!
2.5 inch hot side
3 inch coldd side
turbo 400
neal chance convertor
not sure on rear gear yet

okay well last weeknd I brought the car up to our shop to get started on it!

okay guys thats it for now and like i said this is my first turbo build so if you see anything wrong or any pointers please feel free to share!

 

Great looking car! Love the color!! WHY ARE WE YELLING!!!!!!!

 

so many combo's so little time. Man I like all the combo's listed. Best advice is to get that ls in there and stick with it...or stick with it ;-)

 

thanks me and my dad panited back when i was 15 the paint is star burst blue metalic but it looks like crap i think after all the years of scratches and then the fender bender i got in high school which is why the front bumper looks like that!

 

I agree! they say once you go turbo you wont go back!

 

Hey it's another Okie.. I'm building a 10.5 car too.. I bought Jay Clark's old motor (414W) I'm running it this season with the N2O setup But have a Turbo build for next season. I also work at Grand Prix here in Tulsa so that helps.. lol

PS. If you ever need a huge A/W Intercooler let me know

 

well do and im sure i will see you at the races

 

here is the pics of the motor in the car!

dont mind all the dirty ness of everything will make everything nice and yet after i pull the motor back out to put cam and stuff in after i build the hot side

 

Nice!! You must have a lot of extra time to work on cars! Oh, i forgot, your 21! Which i had half that time. You going to use the factory pcm for tuning?

 

what flanges are you going to use to build the hot side?

 

Nice build. You have some competition. I just built a 85 hatch, stock bottom end 5.3 (with rod bolts) 241 heads and a 76mm blow through setup. Haven't tuned it yet, but have very conservative timing and it runs its ass off at 13 pounds. Were going on the dyno this week to fine tune it. We have a few trick up our sleeve's to get it to best that farimonts times...Lol

 

well my family owns a machanic shop and the car is up there so any free time i get to mess with it

and yeah factory computer local shop is awesome with them and said it wont be a problem to do what we want!

 

using the factory flanges from the manifold!

 

thanks for the props! why did you go blow through? just cause its simple? whats your car weight? did the motor come with the 241 heads? thats great to here that it runs so good makes me get more excited i just want to have fun with the car!

 

sorry ant posted in a couple days guys! I got my gears there 3.27s but ant really done nothing to the car! Been waiting on the turbo for a month now ! If I can get the turbo problem fix i can get back on track!

 

okay guys i got my turbo today thanks turbodaves! cant wait to get started on the turbo kit! here is a pic!

Its a borgwarner s475 with a 1.10ar

 

Nice.

 

Man, u aren't fucking around. Like the other guy said, wish I had that much time. I am gathering parts for a similar build on my '86 coupe. Except I am using a lq4 6.0 with an s480. Must have been awesome to have such a nasty street car at your age. What did the bbc/n2o combo run at best? Looks stupid nasty from the pics. Awesome build.

 

I had a completey 5.0 stock short block with some cast iron dart heads with a victor jr in 650 carb on a 175 shot that went 10.40 in high school! In my car the best the bbc combo ran was 9.7 1/4 but ran some 1/8 and it went 6.20 that was on a 82 jet! but pulled the motor and put in friends car and we went 9.22 on a 102 jet so it would have went at least that in my car but never pilled it up cause never put a proggesive or travel limiters to keep front end down! thanks for the props guys about to really start doing some work to the car!
