Brian's Turbo Build (Lots of Pics)

[shizzle24]

Well as the title states Im currently in the middle of a very extensive build. Im building a motor for my 99 3.8l Camaro. I started back in October. Progress is slow, but Im a full time student so its taking a while. I hope to have it done for fall of 2011. I am aiming for about 600hp. Maybe spray a 100shot....not sure about that.

Whats done:
Ported UIM/LIM
Custom Harland Sharp 1.8 Rockers
8.5:1 GTP pistons and rods
Block
Heads
Crankshaft and bearings
Ring Set

Needed:
Cam
Turbo Setup
Oil Pan
Intake/Exhaust Valves
Manley #150 Spings
Transmission
So so much more, theres a lot to list

And the pics























And my baby

I was speaking of the 10 bolt

[shizzle24]

ya but she is staying a dd lol

[shizzle24]

Well Im making extremely slow progress. I got an oil pan, stripped it to bare metal and powdercoated it:

Looking good though!

Good stuff! I commend you on sticking with the 6!

Also unfortunately I have to no longer pursue a turbo build. As some people may know I have a leaking rear main which caused me to want to do the turbo build, but the parents have grown tired of oil leaks everywhere in the driveway, I will still be pursuing a high compression build instead. Yes the leak has nothing to do with a turbo build, but the parents want the problem fixed by the end of the summer so I have to do something more realistic. Since my last post a LOT of progress has been made in completing my new project. I have custom 10.5:1 Forged pistons being made, heads have been fully assembled and extensively ported. The motor is bored 30 over. still using L67 rods. The cam has been made, the specs are: 220/230 112LSA .544/.544. UIM and LIM are ported, gaskets are bought. Just waiting on the pistons to be built and the motor to come back from being balanced. Ill post pics as soon as I get them.

why so low on intake duration?

[shizzle24]

I talked with Abbott Racing Heads and they custom made the specs amd said this is what they recommend lol so i didnt question it lol

[shizzle24]

talked with my builder, just about another week till the pistons are finished being made.

[shizzle24]

Heres the timing chain cover, low lighting but its powdercoated chrome.


The motor will be coming back from the shop in less than two weeks....... then the install begins hopefully

[shizzle24]
