My Wheel to Wheel 402 LS2 twin turbo is started
 

Wheel 2 Wheel is just starting the assembly of my twin turbo 402 for the GTO. Here's a link to a few pics.

We're going to use a new head on the market also, more info when they arrive. Should make 1000 HP on race tune and 700-750 for the street. I will also be tweaking the factory traction controls to control the power, and if not will be using a Racelogic traction control system.

Jody

You suck.




And oh yeah, I want a ride. :D

And I'll second that......

And I third that motion. We should now have a vote if Roberts Rules of Order are to be followed. :D

Since you are so good at sending engines overseas, just send that one the same direction. :yes: :yes: :yes: :D


Jan

Glad to work with ya Jody.

Should be way cool when it's done. :yes:

I'll be fourth in line. :unibrow:

Damn Jody
 

Jody

So What Gto Is This Going In? Pics?

Didnt Know You Had One.....

Radrambler

Tom,

This is a new 05 GTO. Trying to make a "poor mans" SL65! Won't be nearly the car as the Mercedes but should be fun.

Jody

WITH 1000 horses, it will be relatively wicked. We all look forward to the build up.

Umm.... Yeah.... So, you need to let me know when it's set up. I'm apparently one of the few that like the GTO for what it really is. And yours will be the devil in disguise. Charlie can have fun with his toys. You sir.... :hail:

The GTO sounds like a grea project Jody.
W.

Do you mean Racelogic Traction Control?

Also is this an Aluminum based LS2 motor? Factory GM block? Are they up to that kind of power output reliably?

I am very interested in this build as it is something that i am considering it for my 69 Camaro.

Trev

Yes, Racelogic, sorry. Aluminum LS2 block and according to W2W and many others they're good to beyond 1000 HP.

Looks good Jody,

Wheel to Wheel does some nice stuff. Saw them at PRI show last week. :hail:

When will the heads be ready? You'll have to put up a Dyno vid when they start leaning on it. That would be way cool.

It would be but they won't be dynoing it. The heads are due in a couple weeks hopefully.

Jody

What heads are you running Jody? AFR's or mabye those new ET heads, they look sick. I'm thinking of getting a set to run N/A

The new ET 240's with some W2W magic thrown in. They are supposed to be a very nice head from those that have seen them.

Jody

Motor
 

AWESOME. What a great project. You will have so much fun in this car.

Maybe we should kick the E55 to the curb and use this for the SEMA taxi next year!! Of course since I know the streets pretty well, I drive!!!!!!!!!

Shotgun! :D

That's fine, it's going on Power Tour next year. I've already booked rooms and flights. Driving to SEMA isn't a bad jaunt for me.

Jody

Car
 

I have a smile on my face as I type this, thinking you will have a ball in this car.

With W2W doing the motor, it should run great. Congrats Jody, you deserve it man.

Keep us posted.

Sweet, I'm thinking of getting the ET 215's for my N/A 346, and then go with some LT headers and a ported TB. Boy it would be nice to put down 450+ rwhp N/A with a stock 346.

Car
 

Also that will be no poor mans SL65, it will be real cool in its own way, plus more people can fit.

Poor mans computer enhanced SL65 = New Z06.

Jody, what are the plans for the "old" motor? Also, did you say you had already booked your rooms for the power tour stops? PM info if you do not mind. :thumbsup: I have signed up, but need to make the room reservations.

Pt
 

Jody, at least you wont need an ice chest for the trunk next year, LOL.

Hey, save a seat for me!! :cheers: :morepower

I'm keeping the stock LS2 to put back in when I sell the car. I don't say "if" anymore because I always sell my cars!

Jody

Thats a fact.. sorry Jody I just had to throw that in there. :captain:

Yeah, that would not be cool!

Jody

That's a pretty nice setup if you like that sort of thing :fire:


Just kidding,awesome as usual :bow:

That is a thing of beauty!!!...I cannot imagine the look on the first unsuspecting victim of that sleeper....that would be priceless!

As usual Jody, you do it first class all the way! :hail: :bow:

Thanks guys. I think it's going to be fun and it's nice to not have to worry with Wheel to Wheel handling the build.


Jody

Looks awesome, what is the compression ratio going to be? I cant wait to see what the heads look like :unibrow:

very nice..............wish my twinturbo'd engine would handle 1000hp. :unibrow:

Just under 8:1

Jody

What's the max boost the motor might ever see?

I'm hoping 17-18 psi will meet the race needs. Street would be in the 12 pound range.
