Default TT LS1 in a Chevy Nova - Nice build-up

http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/forced...o-project.html

Guy built it all using pretty simple stuff in his own garage, has some nice fab skills. I wish I had all that room under the hood! IMO one of the neatest parts is that the manifolds are just factory Corvette cast iron pieces flipped upside down.



Videos are at the end of the thread.... made over 750 rwhp on only 14lbs.

It's amazing how they are using old technology on these turbo v8s still.
7s on a manual boost controller is retarded.

cool build for sure, i dunno how useful it will be unless he gets the exhaust laid out more traditional.
manifolds are awesome, especially when you have a way of making them work

didnt see anything mentioned about boost control or 7s but i didnt read every word.

I'm just saying in comparsion to modern SFWD Honda cars.

We have four cylinders running 8 second passes in a 'street trimed car.'

Once the domestic street cars get more modern technology for these cars, they'll be faster. Yellow Bullet, most cars are very nice but have silly things like 60-1,t4-67s, manual boost controller, funny ways of pulling timing.

It's not a insult by anymeans. If I had the funds, I'd build a turbo v8 to stuff into something worth mentioning. For now, I dont, so a little four cylinder is all I got.
