Whats up folks. Most of you guys know me (be it bad or good lol). Im back with another crazy idea. Got a project a I figured I'd start a build thread on. A little history on me, Im coming from a Scion tc that we (Abel Racing) put a custom turbo kit w/ e85 on stock motor and made 472 whp. Car was pretty quick but I hit a brick wall with FWD, weak trans and too much power. Here is piks as it sat last...



Decided to make the switch to RWD and picked up a 1991 300zx (n/a body) auto. Then got the idea to put a LQ9 (LS truck motor 6.0) coupled with a Precision 94mm turbo necked down to a 88mm and auto tranny. Then somehow convinced the good folks at Abel Racing (in Midwest City OK) that this was a good idea. Got started and pulled the motor and trans with the help of "efeezie". Well he did mostly all the work. lol. Car sat for a while so I could gather parts and get a good plan going.

Finally got started on some fab work the other day. Again, all work done by "efeezie". Got custom solid motor mounts and manifolds made. Fitted a 4L60E auto tranny. Custom hat for Edlebrock Victor Jr. Intake is almost finished. Here are some progress piks... Sorry for cell piks. Will take better piks further down the road.




Things to get worked on next are: Air-to-water setup, getting motor to running shape with vette accessories (planning on stroking to 6.7L later down the road). Get fuel system together. Custom drive shaft, and all the little things to get it running.
I have big plans for the car. I wont bother making an entire list of what I plan on doing, I'll just post as it comes together.
Open to suggestions and critics, thanks for looking!

 

looks good so far and i think this is gonna be crazy

 

thats what im hoping!

 

 

^ lmao

 

will that 4L60E hold all the torque that setups gonna make

 

^ just found out that it will not. Not stock anyway. Will be getting a 4l80e

 

any more updates?

 

what will the car be used for? show? drag? drift? just for fun?

 

i wish you had kept your tc....best tc hands down!!!!

 

It will be used for all the above including a nice weather daily lol

thanks, Im thinking of making a come back with the tc lol. Wont be as crazy though.

 

Here's a little update... got some parts in a few days ago:




Here are the specs on the cam:



Also got a built Turbo 400 tranny (forgot to take piks)

Heads are being worked on:



Bottom end needed a lil work so we sent it off to the machine shop. Thats whats kinda holding everything back right now, waiting for them to get finished. Once it comes back we'll start putting everything together full force!!!

 

In for the awesome! :D

 

i didnt read the description at all, but scrolled down to pics, but as soon as i saw that block, v8 popped in my head then i said to myself, i bet he has a turbo planned, haha i was right, im in to watch this beast!

 

^ yea... ran intoa few issues with the motor when I took it into the machine shop. So Im in the process of building it right now. Going with a 402 stroker...

 

Any updates on this build? It looked pretty interesting from the beginning pictures. And you have/had a pretty nice tc there buddy.

 

I see some win in here!
