Well I just stumbled upon this site so decided to register.
I live in Windsor Ontario and drive a 87 Iroc-z (originally a 5.7 tpi car)
Little background on the car...
I traded my old GSXR750 to my buddy for the car and it was a 355 LT1 that ran 12.90s. So after driving it for 2 months it just wasnt enough and wanted to turbo the car but I knew the 355 wouldnt take the boost. So i traded my buddy (he was low on cash) my 355 and 2500 CDN for a built 383 LT1, forged -28cc pistons, 6.0 H-beams, eagle crank, Loydd elliot Stage 2 heads etc.
The Car made 411RWHP thru the auto and I had a moser 12 bolt in it. and then eventually ran consisten 11.79-80sA114mph with the stock 3.42 10 bolt back in (sold the moser bc need cash for my new GSXR750 lmao)
So after running high 11s I figured lets get on with turboing the car.
I went and bought a Mig welder and started buying parts as I saw deals online.
I ended up with a Garrett TH08A64 T6 74mm turbo with a .96 AR.
I build everything myself from scratch and it was my first ever welding project so be easy! lol
I have only drivin the car up and down my street while tuning the car, but I have made about 5psi and it just smokes the tires!
I havent gone WOT yet tho. I been rolling into 2nd gear and slowly spooling it up (makes 3-4psi at 4K rolling into it)
My goal is to make around 600-650 RWHP on 8-12PSI
I have also decided to build a better fuels system..
2-255 Walbaro's
-8AN stainless Feed
-6AN return
-Areomotive AFPR
-Siemens 60# injectors
-8AN rails
The second 255 pump is hooked to a mallory box and is trigger to come on a 4000RPM as is my meth (I may bump it up once I get into tuning more)
Anyways enjoy and feel free to ask any questions!
PS the car is getting painted Mazda Speed Red in a month or so.
****** the engine pic is before painting and wrapping the headers, also meth has been installed and it has been cleaned up!
