As I am bored sitting waiting for IT to fix the upgrade they did, lets make a build thread for all to see.
In the beginning there was X, small older Precision turbo, pt76gts, 76mm T4 unit mounted on an old realquick turbo kit.
The motor is composed of a LT1 block .030 over, compstar 6 inch rods, compstar 3.75 forged crank and JE extreme duty forged pistons, all topped off with max ported stock castings, and a single plane.
Its controlled via a LS1 0411 PCM, so coil packs and 3 bar SD tune. Harness is a frankenstein'd stock LT1 harness with tweaks to use a vortec distributor for cam signal.
Built 4L80e and a S60 puts the power to the ground. Nothing extraordinarily fancy, but nothing remotely cookie cutter.
Take your antidepressants, and fall down the rabbit hole.
JGS 50mm wastegate and JGS 60mm BOV
Kit mocked up at builders
Here it is clearing on my motor
Some pictures from when the motor was being built the first time around
Hotside coated, pre wrap
Milled and drilled for a MAP mount
RIP old cam
Early picture of semi assembly long block
External fuel pump makes more noise than a idling motor.
And since nothing is to be normal..
Early test fit of stuff
Torque converter, triple disk 3400 area stall
Rusty cold side picture
See the theme here?
Built 4L80e from Jake's
First attempt at mating all the parts
That theme again...
It all fits!
Vacuum lines for everything under the sun
Fancy pusher fans
Electronic boost controller
Coil pack mounted up
Scavenge pump for turbo and crankcase puke tank
Relay and fuse board, everything OE was removed from engine bay
First start up, pardon the mess of a harness
And of course, first drive
Not that its ever been used but created my own meth injection kit
Finally got some interior in her
Proof the car made it places under its own power
Engine bay shots
Got a blanket for the turbo
The first dyno passes
A clearly photoshopped dyno graph
The first attempt at a pass, alternator died and car lost all power
So after that debacle, ordered a new alternator
And went to town with heat wrap
That sums are part one of this novel, ended with a 11.5@138 and some snapped flexplate bolts.
Converter damage
