    Default Twin Turbo Saturn Sky Build

    I've been working on this project for a few months and I was able to finally start it today. The engine is a pieced together LS7 from used parts and a 4L80E. The only thing that I didn't keep was the a/c. It still has power steering and heat. Everything still fits under the stock hood.

    That's awesome. What are the plans for it? Street car? Got any more details/pics of the build?

    This is going to be more of a daily driver as opposed to what most people call a "street car". I plan on putting a lot of miles on it, especially if I can sneak out of the driveway in the morning without upsetting people.

    Here's a few more pics:

    It's an extremely tight fit, but it fits. T56 would have easily fit, but it is a turbo car and manuals don't play very well with turbos.

    Very cool project. I've always liked the Skys with LS swaps.

    If you come across a cobra in the wild, wipe it off and apologize.
