Nice! when you expecting to finish it?

 

Shooting for that big June meet in NYC

 

still going with this?

 

Nope, doing either single turbo t76 or t88, 5.3 liter LS swap into 79 Malibu. I'm looking to run 15psi on meth

 

I'll be at the NYC meet in my G35c

 

I'll be there too with the turbo maxima....hope to see everyone there!!

 

Really wanted to finish the project but I already had a turbo 4.5gen and breaking atleast one or not two trannys per year is not fun. Also I can build the Malibu for almost the same cost but make around 550-600hp and 500tq no problem.

 

whyd you break so many trans?

 

my personal opinion is the stress from hard launches and banging gears causes the transmission case to flex. This flex makes things fall out of alignment and break. The only solutions I found were to baby the car which is no fun or that par gears and additional bracing to the trans.

Just look at muscle cars they add diff and main cap supports, run beefer drum and sprag in the trans. Once I added the cost to do it right I found that i could built a car for the same price make more power with less problems

 

bump for those looking to turbo

 

Sick setup man.

 

lol, look at me now right back into another turbo maxima

 

Is what I was thinking
