Picked up turbo kit today minus the turbo.


On the left^^^ is that where a screamer pipe would be attached? And is that only for sound?







Block is at machine shop and would be done in a few weeks. zzp gen 1 block, diamond piston 10:1, zzp rods and all new gaskets, bearings and timing set.

Turbo I am going with is a Precision 5862

 

Trader.... Lol. Nice build!

 

Like i said u will be selling that snail once my woodchipper screams

 

Because we are gonna race so much

 

That dump tube looks pretty sketchy lol

 

subd. looks like a nice setup bro, is this the kit from that yellow lsj that was up for sale?

 

Ever heard of the brand turbo smart? Well I'm turbo dumb so explain

Yep picked it up yesterday

 

I thought it looked like his kit too. Nice. Good for you

 

good stuff bro. looking forward to see how this goes! block is getting built at zzp then?

 

Nope got the block and rods, pistons from MR.B just having machining done right now, (block was used) gonna have the pistons crank and rods balanced. After I get all that back I'll lock myself in the garage for a weekend and get it all put together

 

Someday I'll do this. Excited to see how it comes out.

 

u get that stuff from shanenindy by chance? he was an indiana fellow trying to get rid of his setup iirc

 

Yep met half way and saved on shipping

 

decent! by any chance did he still have his black seats for trade?

 

Not sure man didn't even ask

Just took a deep breath and ordered:
Griddle bolts
Deluxe timing set
head gasket
Exhaust dump tube

 

Diamonds courtesey of Mr.B



Took them to machine shop 20 min after getting them. Honeing can now start and the build has achieved lift off

 

sub'd

 

Now listen here!!!!!!!!!!!!.......do work and post lots of pics! I'm excited for you!

 

Haha thanks bro we'll have to line them up when done... just kidding...

I'm following in C130's foot steps with his build except I'm going with a bigger turbo. It's a great learning experience.

 

I'll just take the panzy way out and back out so you won't have a chance to embarrass me!! Your car is going to be a monster man, I don't think you realize how much it will be, either. Keep posting lots and lots of pics!

**** it, set up a live video feed of you building it!

 

i have to agree^^^ and i also admit doing a turbo build is fun but just takes alot of time and patience! i want to see this balt hit 500whp on a rich base tune

 

Picked block up from machine shop today, hasn't been touched yet and said it may be done by september... ain't no one got time for that.
I called around and decided to take it to a shop in ft wayne they said it would be done in 1-2 weeks

 

you going to C&P? and are you going to have them assemble the bottom end for you?

 

Yes and no. They are going to hone .010 over and inspect the rods

 

Sweet. They've done good work for me in the past and had a decent turn around time.
