Awesome look and quality on the build. I have a friend with an 06 gto looking to go twin. What do you think you will have into the build budget wise?

 

Thanks man. Haven;t thought about total cost yet, we will when we add all the reciepts up. Due to most of the parts being given by me(old wastegates,),...which are my old used parts pretty much, except turbos are brand new(700-1200 each) we don't have a whole lot invested into materiel. Our welder is doing this pretty cheap for us due to buisness trade/friends. Cost of coating,...cost of fuel pump, injectors, tune, time and labor to install.... it probably in the end comes comes to several thousand bucks. If you can do the work on your own, then your looking at only an investment of:

turbos
flanges/pipes/bungs
header wrap/or coating/heat blankets
injectors
fuel pump
BOV
wastegates
controller
hoses
boost gage
oil feed and drain lnes-A/N fittings

Tools to install, time, welder, labtop to tune, wideband to tune.

It ends up costing time and money like this. Thankfully I have some sort of sponsor backing through a turbo company that help me out for all of my turbocharger needs,... and I have another local hookup for all of my race flanges/couplers,..bungs and fuel control. I have alot of help on stuff like that. It's too bad we didn't have real money to invest in this car,...it could be top notch parts for probably a really fare price with the connections but, with this economy, were fortunate to just be able to own them, let alot mod them.

sorry for the ramble. I'll give everyone an up to date pricing when complete. The headers are back from the coaters, we'll try and install setup in the next couple of weeks but I have go to get the other blue vette ready for the standing mile event first before anything.

Keep you posted. Thanks again

 

.....CLEAR...........(charge)-..... CLEAR.......(charge).....

Thread revived.

The car is done. Well, almost. After the turbos went on, I ran all of the oil lines, finding that the drain lines, would have to travel up, oh, maybe a half inch then back down again. For those that don't know, turbo drains(oil returns) are based on gravity, meaning it needs a direct, smooth, downhill slope back into the pan. We can do this. SO we need a oil return pump, which I have yet to search the internet for.

So, that, a coolant expansion tank. Run VAC lines, install 80lb injectors,... and start the vehicle.

Everything was sent off to calico coatings, done in black, then we lava wrapped everything. I'll have to go home later and post up the pictures,... it ended up coming out, really really nice.

Car's gonna be mean for a bunch of people on the highway when it's all said and done.

Pics later.

 

...wow, and looking back at page one, I though I had SOME pictures of the kit but, I see I have none.

You guys are gonna dig this....(pics-kit)

 

Sick work man, plus rep.

 

 

 

Thanks bro

 

Great job, looking awesome!




+ rep

 

Great work! A real sleeper in the making...

 

Talk about home-grown!

Nice work!

 

Thank you

Thanks man, thats exactly what were looking for. The CCW drag pack, is pretty much just for easy moving in and out of the shop. It will run stock wheels for a bit longer, then we'll go with a CCW wheel,..19"'s most likely.

Hell yes.

Thanks bro.

 

The car,..is alive and well. Belted out 550rwhp and 585ft-lbs @ 11psi and no timing hardly. Gonna spend more time with driveability tune as MAF and ecu don't like boost...

fast forward to 1:20 to see dyno pass.... we filmed cause we wanted to show just how quiet the car is.

 

Nice!

 

Thank you sir
