+1!

Congrats!....:bows:

Turbos are THE best S/C option. (cost not being an issue.)

Tons of midrange torque and top end HP.

No belts to spin....just recovering lost exhaust gas energy and .....WHOOOOOSH!

On the highway you just dip into the pedal and AWAYYYYYYYY you go!

[RR|Suki]

Wow, that was nice

[loud2004marquis]

That thing sounds mean, didn't look like it wanted to be strapped to the dyno. Should make the sound of that pull my new ringtone, love that sound!

I have to buy axles before I go and have the cobra diff installed

JustBob? Can I give you my money?

Freakn Awesome man!!!

[Granddaddy Marq]

If I'm riding in it I'm bringing some Depends.

[MMBLUE]

To think, you were going to throw the towel in on that car a bit over a year ago. I'm glad you decided to make it like the six million dollar man.

[DWSTANG67]

CONGRATS ZACH

Nice that's impressive one hell of a car

[whitey]

Wow! That is sick! Nice job Zack

[8UWITH6]

Congratulations. The car is certainly responding well. I am glad to see the "speed bumps" have passed. This happens with any car. Most would give up and throw it away or sell it. It takes time for everything to come together and give you that feeling of well, you know what I mean. Trust me as a Turbo Buick owner for 14 years I think I might have an idea of what the blue car has put you through. But now that everything has fallen in line it appears that you have created a FREAKING MONSTER!!!!!!!!!! ENJOY!:beer:

Shazam!!!!

I would be honored but do not possess the proper inch pound dial torque wrench yet so therefor must decline for any kind of quick time frame.

Honestly I set my pinion preload by feel alone and over 5,000 hard miles (and two inspections) has yielded perfect results. (You should see what else I do by feel! :eek: )However that is MY car, not someone else's..

Let me perhaps add that to my list of endless stuff to buy. Front of line of course. :)

NICE Zack!! Hard work pays off.

[napolitano]

Damn that is a freakin beast.

[napolitano]

What motor are you running?

[MOTOWN]

Excellent numbers! that's a mean build!

[blkZooM]

congrats Zack, I love the sound of turbos. Now lets see the track number!! Looking at the numbers again this car has scary potential. what are the specs on the engine?

Are you leaving the conservative 93 octane tune, or do you have an E85 suppliy where you are? Bet at that power level, you can't feel the difference - 580/565 is wicked strong on the street :eek:

[chief455]

My current and previous rear end set up guys used the 'fell'/pattern method = dead quiet and last long time.
in/lb isn't going to give you a torque reading as good as your arm can fell - I asked her.:censor:

[Zack]

The engine is as follows:
Iron Block
9.3:1 Fully Coated Diamond Pistons
Manley Rods
Cobra Crank
Stock Heads, Cams and Intake.
Certainly nothing special.

[Zack]

I don't drive the car that much believe it or not.
For long hauls I will use 93 Octane, otherwise E85 will be in there all the time.

The benefits and added safety of the E85 make it a no-brainer to use exclusively.

nice. wish we had E85 around here:(
killer build, Zack!

[sflrainmaker01]

:awe: Absolutely, incredible! Great job, Zack! :up:

[hotford]

I like the numbers, even more so on E-85.......

[rayjay]

Awesome Zack. I am always amazed at your innovation. :up:

[massacre]

I have an inch-lb dial torque wrench if you need it PM me.

And great numbers, that car is going to run some quick times. Good for you!
It's nice when all that hard work pays off, isn't it? lol

[justbob]

Break away with the test drives Bud, I got yo back! I'll have plenty of tools, even a trailer for the worst case.. :wink:

Bring 10 grand if you want one done

[Limited360]

What size turbo is it?

[Zack]

Its a Comp Turbo. 76mm Billet Wheel Ball Bearing.

I have to send it in after Louisville, its seeping oil just a little.

That sucks on the leakage. Billet wheel FTMFW! 76mm is decent in size as well! I like it! What is the A/R size?

.96
Maybe one day ill put a .82 housing on it

[LJ on 24's]

You can do the turbo for 10 grand.

[Zack]

You can do the turbo for 10 grand.

I wouldn't even take the car into the garage unless 10 grand was in front of me.
It might be more.

You have no idea what a pain in the ass it was.

[Zack]

Pictures in a build thread makes it look easy. And my car was crashed quite horribly beforehand.

I have no idea if this can even be exactly duplicated in a car that was not wrecked.

haha, did the wreck make more room for the hot side pipes?

[Zack]

I think so because the firewall got wrinkled LOL

[RubberCtyRauder]

$10k and one dukes of hazard jump and she'll fit down right purty. In reality..wish your blue never got wrecked, glad to see you were able to resurrect her and engineer a monster out of it.:beer: Wish i was able to get to Looseville and see it and all the other's members cars...

[Big House]

Zack, almost anyone else would keep their stuff close to the chest...I appreciate a look at your genius. And unfortunately I don't have 10K laying around. Beast of a job.

[blkZooM]

Way off topic.. Zack, I read up on second gen CTS-V and G8's one thing they do for twins turbos is place the turbos where the cats use to be. Looked under my car and thought there is a good amount of space to try that. Have you ever thought of something like that? piping would be a lot easier and we could just use or stock manifold. I would try it but an eaton swap is a whole lot easier for me

Kits like that work great but they are packaged so tight it becomes a hassle to work on.
My kit is so well thought out every single nut, bolt and clamp is accessible with ease.
However, it wasn't until I changed the oil for the first time that I realized a huge oversight. The oil filter had to be removed from front to back, by Unbolting the steering shaft. I LOL'ed

[92BlackGT]

wow, that's awesome.

Turbo'd V8's make the sexiest sound

Not to mention the remote mount turbo kits make the intercooler piping a nightmare!, if they run an intercooler at all!
