LSA-(w/turbo) Grand National Conversion

[tdishon]

Finally getting my wish to have an LSA in my GN.
Went through the suspension, brakes and reinforcing the frame with a notch before undertaking this conversion.
Lonnie Diers Stage III 4L80E Transmission with custom cut Billet 1st and 2nd gears 2.75 1st, 1.57 2nd.
Cooling system is already converted to a Ron Davis radiator so cooling should not be an issue.
Was running my stroked 4.1 on E85 and hoping to have this running on E85.
Nick Micale is doing the install with his vintage air conversion for more engine bay room.
After in and running a turbo (or twin) is(are) going in front of the supercharger to turn up the volume a little.
Total project should be around 2 months.
Here is this weeks progress:

Mock Up:


Frame notch:

Engine in:

Vintage Air conversion done and accessories on.
Great progress for one week.
Now the wiring...yikes.

Turbo side started!
Finished at Nicks shop and delivered her running to Rob at Forced Induction Tuning last Tuesday. We decided that the best fit and look was going to be smaller twin turbos.
Should see some progress this next week. I'll get some pics.

This should be awesome!

It's coming together. Worked out all the location details and the ZL1 top looks much better than the CTS-V top on this LSA.
Coming together!

I'm curious about this too. I just see it as in-efficient and in my head it just seems like if its not configured just right, the SC is going to be a bottle neck with twin turbos are forcing air in. IS there engineering behind this or just a "lets see what happens"
