No afr meter the carb came off my buddies 396 big block and no jets were changed so it runs pig rich all the time. Much more to be had when i take it out and tune it im just trying to get my 3000gt back together right now because its faster! well the flex tubing cannot be used due to the turbo being heavy as hell and The turbo is a he1 holset that i got for 75$. I have an extra blow through holley carb that i need to get rid off. It came off my friends mustang and sat for a year, Now it wont idle but runs somewhat descent. Ill get some more pics just gotta get a digi cam. The current pics were taken with my cell phone that is why the quality is so poor. Those are the cheapy xspower headers i got from my buddy for dirt cheap, they fit just fine with no mods just had to bash in the strut tower tunnel area on the pass side for proper clearance and built everything else out of stuff around my garage that i have collected over the years. The car hits full boost by 3100 rpm and from there on its just keep correcting the steering wheel because it will not go straight up until around 130. Its sitting on 235 50 14's bfg radial ta's and those are the best street tires i have found for it yet. So far over 6 grand invested in the whole car im kinda pissed but o well its fun.

well the twin turbo setup fell through and ended up going with a single. The car put out some amazing numbers at the dyno. It seemed to be the perfect combo of parts. So far is has an aeromotive a 1000 pump with -10 an fuel in and -8 an out aeromotive boost referenced fpr, Modded blow through demon 750, Holley street strip intake plumbed for direct port (175 shot) my excuse to use it is to cool the boost although i have a huge intercooler. Lt1 t56 tranny with spec stage 3 clutch, Lsd rear with 3.7 gears, the list goes on and on but the numbers of the spray on 18 psi The turbo was maxed out i need a bigger one! 638 rwhp 720 rwtq ohh yeah did i mention i got this motor for 350$ 3 years ago and have been running the absolute piss out of it on spray in this car up until now. So far what i know about it is that it is a .30 over 350 with flat top pistons and a step above the rv cam. Stock 194 heads with 1.5 roller rockers. But who knows i got it from some guy with a mullet in a trailer park. Well actually got a 1984 trans am running and driving with a t5 for 350$. Im a newb at this so take it easy. By the way if anyone has a good sized t4 turbo i might want it let me know.

i would build it piece by piece and test fit after every single piece is welded because when piping is welded it tends to move around a bit depending on where and how its cooled.

My name is Denis Robison! add away!

couple gallons of bondo and your good to go!!

if anyone is interested i got some pics of the old beater z on my myspace. Will take more pics soon! heres the link myspace.com/280z28

yeah lol 4 inch downpipe thats ridiculous but you know what! it takes me 10 min to change all my plugs and its a breeze to work on. And if i can find some info on converting lt1 aluminum heads to an early sbc then i got a set of AFR'S sittin here waiting because i went a different route with my camaro

those front control arms make me piss my pants just thinking about my car coming down on the front after lifting the front wheels of the ground out of the whole! i guess they would be more suited for a 6 cylinder car and autocross vs turbo sbc and at the drag strip.

twin turbo all the way due to the room to grow part of it and because one big singe turbo is gonna run you quite a few bucks and good luck fitting a 3.5 inch downpipe somewhere through the engine bay to get it to exit out the back. i like the idea of 2 2.5 inch pipes much better! and a set of nice garret turbos that will support way over 900hp would only run 600 dollars. maybe most people are not trying to go as far as i am but i just want to show those supra assholes how shitty the powerband on that 6 cylinder really is. Also if you guys look at my age yes im only 20 and yes i have built a 94 z28 m6 9 sec car i have built a 94 vr4 that i built a single turbo setup for and with a clutch, fuel pump, injectors, maft and front mount the car did an 11.1 and a 1989 dodge aries with a 2.5 turbo that runs consistent 12.40's and yes its on 30 psi but its still a 4 door beater that you can smash over garbage cans with! I know my cars the only think i dont know is how to hold a ford together they just seem to explode every time i drive them.

yeah so i ended up spending my digital camera money at the strip club last night so i guess no pics this week. lol To answer some questions yes these are the ssautochrome turbo headers (they say xspower on them tho i dont know if that helps) anyways radiator wise i am using a factory replacemnt for a durango that is all aluminum (had to cut and reweld the endtanks the radiator would not fit in between the frame rails but it is not as thick as the factory z radiator although it is larger all the way around.) Now i am running an electric fan out of a chevy caprice (the car never goes over 180 degrees and there is a good 4 inches between the turbo and the fan.) Great setup in my mind especially if ceramic coating was applied to all the hot parts or even a turbo blanket with exhaust wrap on the downpipes would be a great way to go if you are cheap like me. Now my motor is a stock 350 rebuild step above the rv cam stock compression .30 over 4 bolt main with stock 194 heads with 1.6 roller rockers lol no screw in studs or anything of that nature! with cast pistons that came out of my buddies 91 trans am that was twin turboed and put down 786 to the ground and ran all season doing 9 second passes. If its tuned right and you dont rev it past 5500 it will live as long as you want it to! I dont care what people say but i have blown more engines n/a then forced induction due to the power band being in the top end up to 7000 instead of full 20lbs of boost by 2800 rpm's all the way up to 5500. Sorry about my poem here i just want people to go out and try doing this because it is much cheaper then a set of AFR heads and a nice roller cam which would not give you crap for gains comparing to this. If a turbo setup is done right i mean still using ebay turbo's and everything, there should be almost no lag and throttle response in a little car like this with insane amounts of torque really will put a smile on your face. 9 sec car easily with a 6 speed welded diff turbo axles and some suspension mods that i will note later. Ohh wait did i mention reliebly? yup just dont get too rev happy and it will live for a long time. Also Excessive blowby under full boost might cause breathers to pop out of the valve covers but who cares its a 300 dollar 350 and your hauling some serious ass! FORGOT to mention i am running jtr motor mounts if that helps.!

I recently installed a t56 in my car and all it took was the centerforce flywheel (424$) t56 tranny out of a 97 trans am( amazing deal simply stole it 400$) and i have a 94 f body that is currently out of comission that i robbed my short shifter and spec stage 3 clutch of. Also i used the 7/8 tilton master cylinder with a t5 slave. My driveshaft length ended up being 18.5 in center to center of the u joint. Hope any of that helped.

hey im new to these forums i just recetly heard about them so you might not take me quite seriously (up to you) but here is my knowledge so far. I will take pics and post up soon but so far what has worked out the best for my is the ebay xs power brand turbo headers that come straight out to the front of the motor, i had to swap the sides which caused me having to relocate the water temp sending unit to the intake manifold because the header flange does not have a cut out for it, now due to the shape of the headers i now had enough room for the turbo on the pass side to go underneath the alternator. I am also using the ebay t3/t4 turbochargers, the inner fender had to be cut for the air filters to fit off the turbos, i am stuck at this point do to having no money because i had to buy another car! But looking at it from this point its cake the intercooler piping looks easy and so does the exhaust. Sorry i didnt mention i am running a t56 tranny mated to an early block 355 with holley street/strip intake and demon carb. Direct port nitrous didnt cut it for my but i think im headed in the right direction now. I am curious to see some of the other builds!
