Project: The Timebomb

[DETROITMUSCLE]

I like all the teamwork going on in this thread!

Also interested in the lid if it becomes for sale.

Its always great to see how much progress can get done when multiple people start pitching in their efforts. We have a long way to go but I'm very excited and motivated to get crankin on this thing. Hardest part is trying to avoid getting sucked into the downhill spiral of buying everything at once and trying our best to keep focused on getting this car up and running first.

Some more good progress today and a sweet pile of new parts showed up as well.

I went outside today and did like 2 things. I am not motivated after working outside all week to go outside when I don't have to, to work on things.

Good job with the Progress.

[DETROITMUSCLE]

I don't blame you if we were working outside we would probably still need to get the battery out of the car. Here are a couple of pics nothing too special.

Drain plug looks pretty damn clean when we drained the oil


Injectors


Bumper off


Add it onto the parts pile

Madman stuff - nice.

its pricey but we didn't pay close to full price and I would say his tuning advice is well worth it, hopefully we will know soon.

This will be some good insight if I ever plan to go turbo in the future. With all these turbo builds..looks like I will have to just to try and keep up!!

[DETROITMUSCLE]

IMO all roads lead to some type of forced induction for a really high HP car you can drive around and race. You can get better mileage with them if you stay out of boost, you can have a much more mild head and cam combination, less compression, and still make more power than you can on a big cube motor alone. The flip side is the initial cost and more parts and accessories to break/replace ect.

well new torque arm mount doesnt fit as is, some slight trimming will be in order, stupid custom rear end never makes anything an easy bolt on.
