pix from the turbo build

Dropped the car off 1 mile under 83k



Old engine bay...so long Vortech. It has a very nice home now



Engine is out



Rob & Josh having fun



A few pix of the engine with the transmission, momentun headers, and ART pipes installed.









Tear down begins...











Lucy's guts just sitting there on a rack



Time for paint, polish, & chrome!

Front timing cover professionally polished this time...doing it by hand with it in the car was no fun



Alternator, crank pulley, and power steering pump







Finally...everything arrives from GTM :JAMIN:



strip tease...



Stage 4 transmission



Snails





On with the motor build!



...and installing all the shiny new stuff







Not much room for the turbos





Almost ready



Up she goes





The bigger intercooler meant I needed to move my coolers...still need to find a better location...







As she sits today

Hey bigc! I've alway been a fan of your car and your shiny engine bay! what power steering reservoir can do you have?

 

hey man, thanks
its an NRG power steering tank that's been stripped and polished. you can get them online from a bunch of places.

 

Nice upgrade Chris. Any tips to keep these f/i cars cooler?
