How would you like to change plugs on that.

Nice pics.

I'll be removing the downpipe when plug change time rolls around. A small price to pay for a 500hp daily driver. LOL

Nice pics! Have you been able to drive it much since the purchase from MN? Any trips to the track? Changes to the combo? Have you been using as a daily driver, proven reliable?

It seemed that MN had one of the more tame FI systems that could be used as a daily driver. You may have noticed that there are few who have built decently high HP FI cars on this forum which have stayed together and run decent track times. I am thinking that the combo in your car could be one that stays together and may be able to tweak to some decent track times.

Best of luck!

I'm still over in Iraq right now. I'm trying to get together a forged 355 with AFR195 heads. I will also be putting a methanol injection system and hooking up the AC. I'm going to make a better intake for the turbo and probably get a boost controller. Other than that, not many changes. LOL

Nice Toy
Which Unit in country?

I'm at Joint Base Balad, Iraq. I'm a pilot for an Army Aviation Unit.

neat

Nice set up man! Not many turbo C4's out there, which makes them all that much more awesome!

dizwiz24

is that one intercooled, or a meth setup?

youve got the right idea on 355 and ported AFR 195 heads.

Hope your home soon. My son is leading troops with the 82nd. Course the brass on his collar is twice his age. Keep up the good work. Think of the good times you will have with the toy when your home.

Very true. My prior car was a Procharged F1A 97 Trans Am. Those are a dime a dozen. A turbo'd C4 is much more rare.

Right now it is intercooled but after reaping the benefits of Methanol on my Trans Am I don't believe any boosted car should be without. The 355's handle the boost better in my opinion. The shorter crank throw also makes it easier to keep the compression down. AFR=enough said.

Funny statement. LOL. The army has some best and brightest young officers around. Especially now that the civilian economy is so bad.

Very nice where did you get that intake done? ( distributor )


Jason,

I believe it was done at lt1intakes.com. But I don't think they still do them. There is a write up on CF that shows how to do it. Its an accel dual sync distributor run by an accel dfi gen 7 computer. It completely gets rid of the opti and provides sequential fuel injection. Best of all it provides wideband tuning capability and has a 2 bar map sensor to give boost referenced timing and fuel.

Cool thanks. Yea tried to look them up the other day and the site was gone. I am currently going to be running the Holly commander 950 its not the best but it works. I was running the the TPI intake but I want to stay with the LT1 and get rid of the opti.

Nice setup

I'll be over at Sather/BIAP by Feb.

93VettePilot

Things are winding down over here. Maybe you won't have to come. Or you could be like many an get shifted to Afghanistan. Either way good luck.

Dr. Evil

not a big deal to me either way. I'll go where ever. Just want to make a little extra $$ to pay for a new shortblock of some kind.

Pictures aren't the greatest, but it ain't too bad. Wastegate recirc. is *** lookin though. With it being on top and visible I'd have done more work to present it better. You have any mid-build pictures of when the system was being built?

93VettePilot

No I don't have any other pics. I didn't really think it looked bad though. Do you have any pics of turbo setups you've done?
