My friend had been building this car for a while. I stopped by last night to look at it and knew I had to share it with rhmt. I asked his if he had any pics, he did, so I threw them on my jump drive.
He is having me tune it, It will definitely be the fastest car I have ever been in when finished. Hopefully I can get the owner to join and post more progress as he completes it. All Fab work was performed in a barn with a concrete floor.
This is the car being stripped down. It will be getting a better cage soon.

This is the machinist. Looks like a little Willy Nelson mixed with a little Tommy Chong.

Some more pictures of the engine on the dyno. I believe it made 568 on motor with 8:1 compression. This thing is gonna be sick with 25+ lbs of boost

If you have any questions about the car, I'll ask him and post back
All I really know is it is a 400 block with a 350 crank, FAST management, and 1 big ass turbo!
-
B-North thoroughly approves of this thread :)
-
that car is gonna be scary.
-
that car is gonna be scary.
I know, I believe I told him at least 20 times last night That :
1. I will not ride in this thing on anything above 8 psi without it being on rollers
2. When we max out the dyno I am going to finish the tune by logging at the track and adjusting accordingly
3. Please dont hurt me in this thing, please.
-
looks good, but i would have routed the wastegate a bit differently so that it draws from both sides more evenly and re-routes back into the downpipe further down stream.
-
Why the 400 block, 350 crank? 377s are good for high rpm, but I would choose cubic inches any day. None the less looks like its gonna be sick as hell. Chevelles are still my favorite cars.
-
Nice. My friend has a 71 SS w/ a 506ci BB. God damn car is a blast to drive, 3600 stall = :yes:
(https://realhomemadeturbo.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fv243%2Ftravisb101%2FSSPX2039.jpg&hash=38dffa162ba8269b5a43137da5440d56edbcecda)
-
Even just 8 PSI on that snail is gonna be hair raising. :o
-
Thats a BFT (Big Fucking Turbo). It has my emphatic approval.
-
Sweet an S595 / S510. I like those turbo's Does he have the 95mm or 100mm version? We were going to go with that on our build, but we got such a good deal on a Turbonetics T106 that we couldn't pass it up.
-
I like the way the turbo makes the block look small :?:
How much does a turbo like this weight? 70-80lbs?
-
FUCK YES!
-

I though the same thing when I first looked at it, but the way the pipe is angled it should almost be dumping directly towards the wastegate.

He wants to rev this thing to the moon, He wants an extremely long powerband. He is also putting a 150 shot on the car to get things going

Something like that. It is massive. It is supposed to be a 106mm billet wheel in the thing.
-
OH FUCK YES!!!!!
-
needs a bigger terbo
-
OH FUCK YES!!!!!
-
OH FUCK YES!!!!!
-
OH FUCK YES!!!!!
-
Sweet setup
-
OH FUCK YES!!!!!

From the pic, of the turbo, with the polished cover, it is running a standard cast wheel, which would make it either a 95mm, or 100mm inducer.
-
I love how it looks as big as the goddamn block. a mans turbo should be roughly the size of the engine its boosting.
Your a mans man when you spool your shit with a fucking 150 shot to "get the party started".
-
OH HELLLLLLL FUCK YES!!!!!
I just got wood
-
damnit son! O0
-
Welcome to an easy tune that will make you look like a badass. If that thing breathes like it does without the turbo it's going to fucking rip with minimal fuss.
-
i hope you are running either a flex in the exh to turbo bracket, or SOLID as fuck motor mounts.
I guess you didn't notice the front engine plate?
-
solid to-frame mounting plate

because unshrouding the valve offers more potential to cylinder head flow.
-
i've heard of fully built 377's reving to upwards of 7,600 rpms na vs na i would take a 383 over a 377 but im sure the boost will make up for the loss of torque with the added airflow and rpm's ....sick ass ride displacement<boost
-
u guys r argueing over over wether a 377 or 350 shoulda been used and how a 383 is most ideal..... hahah this thing is going to be madness either way!!!!! hahah looks insane though half throttle in 1st gear would turn me out fap fap
-
i thought i cleary stated boost owns all :noel:
-
thanks 4 all the comments on my junk.. 2 answer the ?? on the 377 deal
1 im gonna turn this engine around 8000 with the solid roller that is in it
2 if i ever hurt the engine i have alot 2 work with going bigger.. didnt want 2 start at the end
3 i am going 2 have way more power than i know what 2 do with!!!
the turbo is a 95mm snell and exhaust with the 100 or 106 wheel not real sure.. the guy that had it on his car had class rules so he tried 2 keep it stock looking and cheat just alittle lol.. turbo auto here done most of the work on it.. what they tell me.. i dont really care.. i am sure open 2 ideas on anything yall see.. thanks... OOOOHHHH the engine has solid front plate,motor mounts,and tranny mounts.. i hope it doesnt move...
