65 chevelle ls2 turbo project

[94snglturbo]

hey guys thought id throw this up.. i have had this car 6 months or so now and when i got it, it had a built 355 in it and was great but i wanted better. so instead of rebuilding that motor to get more power i just said screw it and bought a my ls2 motor.. i can only get pictures every weekend since the car is a nice drive from my house. and i get off work late. but here is my mod list right now let me know what you guys think..

2006 ls2 motor 19k miles
2003 4l80e transmission that i just had fully built for alot of power 0 miles
speartech harness for my setup
zo6 dbw pedal
gt40 garrett turbo
turbonetics 42mm wastegate
greddy bov
aeromotive a1000
60lb siemens inj
sanden a/c compressor
tr6 plus
all new belts
brp motor mounts
custom driveshaft
f-body modified oil pan just sitting in there for now.. it will be taken off and painted and smoothed

and im sure im forgetting alot of stuff but all i can remember. the speartech harness should be here wednesday so that can be done and then all the turbo piping and front mount intercooler. the motor is just sitting in there so we can see if there is any clearance issues. alot of stuff on the motor will be powder coated or chromed. and the ls2 fuel rail covers will be put on

before the motor swap.. this is what was in there

Great lookin car bud!

do you have to get lower comp. pistons when you do the turbo?
This looks like an awesome project

[94snglturbo]

thanx guys.. you dont have to get lower comp pistons to do turbo you just cant push as much boost without detonation. i only plan to run 6-8 psi which should put me in the 500-600rwhp the motor is 400hp with 400 tq. with low compression pistons id have to run like 10psi to get those kind of numbers. but its safe for the motor having low compression.. this is just a show car and will only be driven 1-2 month or to how ever many shows i can take it to. hopefully be done in a few weeks. talked with john at speartech and my harness should be here wednesday

Are the only plans to change anything the turbo LS2 or will you tweak anything else?

[94snglturbo]

anything else as in? it has a full custom suspenion. airride tech full front and rear system, muscle bar sway bars from and back etc. full custom exhaust will be made, custom turbo headers, built rear end, full custom interior, i might throw in a turbo cam but i havent decided yet.
