Since we have a little one on the way and baby things are not cheap i had to put my long block project on hold for a little bit. After talking with Nick at TTI and talking with some of the guys at RPM on over on LS1tech it looks like a good time to finaly dump the 60mm and steep up to turbo that will not fall on its face at 5500 on a LSX.

Here is the build list
TTI/Turbonectics T-76 ball bearing turbo with .96AR exhaust housing
2.5 inch Intercooler piping
And of course a larger FMIC to keep IAT's happy
VFN 4 inch hood for future Victor JR. manifold and 90mm TB

Also a few smaller projects
Swaping out my 6LE gauge cluster with a new one (the old one has a few spots)
Also plan on relocating the battery and meth tank bank to the trunk
Finaly removing the front sway bar
Moving the nitrous bottel from the truck to center
Nitrous pressure gauge
Trans Temp gauge
Dumping the FAST AFR meter for a more easy to read wide band

Got the new hood in and started making a few small changes before the trip up to RPM on monday :grin:



Since we only have a few more days i got a early start on her today. It looks like the deer may have bent the driver side manifold :wall:. All and all it was a productive day for being so short. By tomorrow i should have the bumper off so i can make a little room for the bigger intercooler. I was able to get the sway bar and most of the splash pan off with no problem. I also took off the upper rad support and most of the intercooler piping.

 

Wow that's an intense build man.. that's crazy! Nice job, how much power do u think your putting out? and WIll be after this build?

 

Before i was making 451 rwhp and 507 torque on boost alone on the 60mm. The T-76 can make more power then the stock 346 can handle, Just like the 60mm the 76mm will be tuned kind of on the safe on 7-8 pounds with a safe AFR. I think she should go over 500 with no problem for now but we will have to see what the Dyno gods say

 

not so sure i like the hood yet, have to see it in red. lol. will it hook up with that little xtra hp?

 

Im not a big fan of the hood my self but its about the only hood that you can fit a victor manifold under on a F-body.

 

Here are a few pics from mondays work. I got the bumper back on after carving out the front plate area and removing the fog lights and all that good stuff. The bumper support will be moded for the new intercooler and put back on the car for safty since the car gets driven on the street and deer seem to target me.




On her way to RPM once again.

 

Going to the body shop this week. With a little luck the cross over pipe and T76 will be in from TTI by the time it gets done

 

I like the hood. Would like to see what it looks like from the drivers seat, especially since I am guessing where the nose is going when driving a fbody, looking over the stock hood!

 

Got a few small things in from emblempros

 

Wow, that's a beastly looking hood, I like it. Are you getting the new cluster from 6LE or from somewhere else?
