I'll post some...alot of pics here about my car that i have been working on seriously for about 2 years. ill try and keep it in order from begining to end. well i don't think it will ever end, LOL but you get the picture.
It had the 2.8MPFI in it and of course it was SLOW. so i put a 3400 SFI engine in it from a 2003 Impala. I put in a CAI that i made myself, a Zoom performace clutch kit and yanked the exhaust off when i went to the track. otherwise, stock. IMO
I liked the 3400, but somehow, it "got" slow after a year. LOL you know how that is.
So after my firend ditched his project i decided to give it a try. ill throw a turbo in there. may 2005 i started. Never touching a welder, and knowing nothing about turbos, except they pull air in and give you power. still I know just the basics. but i didn't care, i like trying things.
WARNING UGLY WELDS AND NO PLANNING SKILLS and VERY VERY LONG post
OHH Syclonoe turbo
Internal wastegate cool
MMM where can it go...sorry battery your being kicked out!
Had to make my own flanges.. custom crap is kind easier. if you need something just make it yourself.
one exhaust manifold flange and one exhaust "inlet" flange
Ouch...how does a welder work?? Ill put this here and umm, make it connect.(notice the angle the turbo is LOL) A Flange from a 2.8 down pipe.(seals good too) mmm i see a solid mounted turbo...thats a no no.
Now to make the front connect with the rear... I used the stock crossover flex pipe to allow expansion. and easier to install.
This all went really fast, but i kept running out of money. I needed more
U-bends. LOL
