Really starting to look like this is going somewhere!

AntiRoll bar still fits with the supercharged on top of the motor! I am so stoked!

 

[Evan666]

Progress this week which I am really happy about! I will keep you guys up to date asap!

 

[paradigmqc]

Wow nice !!!

 

[Paq]

Keep up the goood work man!

 

[Stirl_ae86]

So it is going into this

Wow, I did a double-take when I saw that pic.

Awesome project!!

 

[Evan666]

Yeah thanks, Yeah the SR5 turtle the whole 70hp 8v carburated! Is your automatic?

Its alittle scored up :S

Porting

Passed a scotchbright in the housing and it doesn't look too bad

Got to use the tool you got to get the jobs done

EGR life

Mine had a GTS drivetrain and 20v 4age. It was fun, but nothing compared to yours when you'll be finished!

 

[Evan666]

Awesome. That 20v ITB sound though is wicked. I swapped a GTS T50 transmission with the GTS bellhousing (SR5 had a different bellhousing with the slave on the driver side instead of the passenger side) but I made it work. Had them crappy drum brakes and the worst of all is that the car bogged down in the corners so drifting was almost impossible inless there was snow on the ground also the open diff didn't help.

Yeah man I can't wait to finish this baby. I pretty much have all the parts and its just down to the fabricating the supercharger and headers. After that just some wiring and it should be ready to fire up. Slow but surely everyday something gets done. Will post more updates soon

 

[Evan666]

Ported supercharger and silencer blocked off

 

[Metro666]

Keep up the good work! L67 FTW!

 

[stroker6pack]

Saw you welded the silencer ports, i was scared to warp my housing like that, put the rotors back in it to make sure its not warped.

 

[Evan666]

well i took out the roller bearings already so I wont know until i finish the top part before I press in the new bearings. Im sure its ok cuz i welded it fast and did a slow cool down. the housing if fairly solid i highly doubt there was any warpage

 

[Evan666]

3 types of GM throw out bearing retainers


Throttlebody flange welded on!


Looks pretty awesome now!


Fits nicely!


Top part finished!




Just need to press in the new needle bearings then I can re assemble it!

 

[Metro666]

That looks great dude!

 

[Evan666]

Thanks man. Now I just gotta paint the supercharger. Had some trouble fitting the transmission on since the input shaft sticks abit farther out than the bellhousing so gotta pull the engine back out and hammer the fire wall abit more.

 

[Evan666]

Painted Eaton M90








Using a Toyota Tercel throttle cable


Moving the Alternator lower

Tacked but not fully welded bracket



Transmission mount and new bushing




HEADERS STARTED! 1

I am going to get the other side done this week.

 

[stroker6pack]

What happened to the headers you bought for it?
...Nice work by the way...

 

[Evan666]

lol I cut them up to get the flange and collector. They just weren't in the right position to work with this chassis.

 

[Evan666]

So this is how I modified the tensioner














Actually I messed up and it is the metal ring over the plastic thing.






There is a piece that comes out here that stops the tensioner for going farther than this. This need to be grinded down flush. You are going to have to weld some aluminium to it in a different position




HEADERS ARE DONE!

 

[Evan666]

Need a smaller belt (2100mm) is the size that fit for the lower alternator with modified tensioner. It clears the water pump pulley perfectly!
