new turbo build....

after dropping a sleeve on my Teksid because of procharger and nitrous combo...decided to sell all that off and go procharger. doing a big bore boss motor with 88m turbo...from Forced Inductions...
lots of work ahead but here a few update specs:

3.7 big bore boss block
JE BB pistons 9.5:1
oliver billet rods
eagle billet crank

heads from my old motor (livernois cnc'd and fox lake everything else)
bullet race cams..yadda..yadda..

th400 (which will probably need an upgrade...gotta call Rich)
undecided on converter....

FAST XFI- already installed..but taking out to redo chassis...(no biggie)
redoing engine bay...wire tuck and fender smooth over...

CG fab headers and hot side...
IF I upload a photo...I would...lol

In for the pics!! Dom do you plan to class race at all or is this just a toy to have fun at rentals or T&T's? Any ET goals or do you just want to go faster? I'm sure this combo will easy go bottom 8's, probably into the 7's :burnout:

this is definitely a TOY....I am WAAY to busy to racing a class....if I ever had a chance...sure I would love too but I don't think I will. As for goals....not really much. I have been 9.43 and want a repeat AND have a fun car.

after poly primed...sanded everything for high and low spots...did some more body work and then primed with K2 primer....let dry for a week and started water sanding with block and 400 grit. Will check for imperfections and fix and then prime again next week. I think the next priming "should be the last" before i seal and start laying colorAttachment 82151 Attachment 82152 Attachment 82153 Attachment 82154 Attachment 82155

Hit the engine bay with SEVERAL coats clear...(lol) Have to rub a few spots (dirt nubs) from doing it in the garage BUT overall turned out fantastic. Will start putting the suspension back in. I have to ask for some advice from you guys on how to run my brake lines. I ripped them out and want to (well HAVE to) redo them....
